Description
About the Book
Though long unknown in the West, Vladimir Vernadsky's "The Biosphere", first published in Russian in 1926, revolutionized our view of life on Earth and formed the foundation of what we now know as Gaia theory. With this milestone publication, the first English translation of the entire text, English-speaking readers can at last read one of the great classics of modern science in their own language.Book Synopsis
"What Darwin did for life through time, Vernadsky did for life through space on a geological scale." --Lynn Margulis This classic 1926 book is the first sustained expression of the idea, now widely accepted, that life is a geological force. It founded the field of biogeochemistry and is one of the seminal works in what is now known as Gaia theory. This edition, the first unexpurgated English translation, is fully annotated for the modern reader.Dimensions (Overall): 9.42 Inches (H) x 7.3 Inches (W) x .84 Inches (D)
