The VANISHING Face of Gaia In 2009 James Lovelock, aged 90, will travel into space to view the planet he has made it his life’s work to save. The Vanishing Face of Gaia will tell us why it matters that we see and feel the earth as a living organism. The cost of our neglect of Gaia could soon cause the greatest human tragedy in living memory, because the Earth, in its but not our interests, is now moving into a new hot epoch, one where it can more easily continue to keep the planet habitable. If we are to have any chance to avoiding global catastrophe his words should be heeded. Feb 09 James Lovelock | 9781846141850 HBK | £20.00
The Revenge of Gaia
He Knew He Was Right
Multiverse
A reissuing of James Lovelock’s passionate and poetic argument that, although global warming is now inevitable, we are not yet too late to save at least part of human civilization.
The Irrepressible Life of James Lovelock and Gaia
Multiverse is the metaphorical search for multiple possible universes. We cannot search for them physically, like James Cook searching for the southern continent by sailing around the globe, but by developing equations and computer models to describe the Multiverse, mathematicians and physicists are getting closer to proving that our universe is not alone. In his inimitable way, John Gribbin explores how these universes differ and how ultimately, they can they tell us something more profound about our own universe.
“His most important book ever to be published on the environment crisis … Lovelock will go down in history as the scientist who changed our view of the Earth” John Gray, Independent. Feb 09 Reissue James Lovelock | 9780141025971 B | £9.99
This is the definitive, authorised biography of Britain’s most important and controversial living scientist. Lovelock is best known as the ‘father’ of Gaia Theory, but few people know about hs early work as a chemist and inventor - work which included inventing the detectors used to search for life on Mars, and blowing the whistle on the depletion of the ozone layer.

Your Inner Fish
Physics of the Impossible
The Drunkard’s Walk
Doctoring the Mind
Your Inner Fish tells the extraordinary history of the human body and gives answers to some of the questions that only evolution can. Why do we look the way we do? Why are we able to do all the different things we do? And, finally, why do we fall ill in the way that we do?

An exhilarating guide to understanding our random world, Mlodinow’s bestseller reads like a compelling crash course in the importance of chance in our daily lives. Everyone should read it, if only to avoid being left a victim of chance.

Bentall’s previous book, Madness Explained: Psychosis and Human Nature won the British Psychological Society Book Award for 2004.
Neil Shubin draws on the latest genetic research, and his huge experience as an expeditionary paleontologist, to show the incredible impact the 3.5 billion year history of life has had on our bodies. Jan 09 Neil Shubin | 9780141027586 B | £9.99
Everyday we see that what was once declared ‘impossible’ by scientists has become part of our everyday lives: fax machines, glass sky-scrapers, gas-powered automobiles and a worldwide communications network. Here internationally bestselling author Michio Kaku reveals the actual possibilities of seemingly impossible concepts such as invisibility, anti-gravity, teleportation, telepathy, time travel, even extraterrestrial life. And he shows how few of these ideas actually violate the laws of physics. April 09 Michio Kaku | 9780141030906 B | £9.99
