Описание:

The global temperature is rising, the ice caps are melting, and levels of pollution across the world have reached unprecedented heights. According to eminent scientist James Lovelock, in order to survive an assault from her dependents, the Earth is lurching ever closer to a permanent "hot state." Within the next century, we will almost certainly be forced to give up many of the comforts of western living as supplies are threatened. Only the fittest--and the smartest--will survive.

A reluctant jeremiad from one of the environmental movement's elder statesmen, The Vanishing Face of Gaia offers an essential wake-up call for the human race.

Описание:

Since the beginning, The Imp of the Perverse has haunted his life and art. Now Edgar Allan Poe, relentlessly shadowed by this destructive force, finds himself on the brink of extinction. Comatose in a Baltimore hospital, he creates the fiction of his own demise, which seeks to reclaim every soul ever quickened by his imagination. "The Raven" compels all inexorably toward implosion, a unified culmination of the creator's mind, an enactment of the cataclysm told in Eureka, Poe's vision of the great cosmic collapse. There is one who resists, the dark and lovely Lenore. With her lover, Danton Reynolds, she finds herself fleeing not only from the shackles of slavery but also from the powerful will of the master, who would have her once again by his side - his darling, his darling, his life and his bride.

Unlikely allies aide the desperate fugitives in their flight: C. Auguste Dupin, the famous detective, created as the rational avatar of Poe's own mind, is on a mission to find and save his creator from imminent dissolution and thereby save himself. Through decoding a series of encrypted messages left by Poe to guide and, at the same time, deceive the detective, Dupin has found himself always one step behind the elusive master. Also swept up in this cosmic drama is the distraught and lonely servant, resurrected from the dead, and given the overwhelming task of restoring moral balance to the soul of the great writer. It is these two who convince Lenore and Danton that the only hope for salvation lies in the medium of the lovers' own legend. If they are not to be subsumed as characters in Poe's tale, they must absorb him into theirs. The stage is set for the Armageddon, but it takes the dark, evil, and perverse thing, which has been pursuing all of them since they left Richmond, to force the ultimate showdown. A terrifying finale is played out in the maelstrom of Poe's imagination; from it can emerge only one survivor in this, the last narrative of Edgar Allan Poe.

Описание:

Let Me Tell You Something is a compilation of J.A. Lovelock's oftentimes satirical and always engaging columns where her musings and observations on modern life and the big issues of the day are seasoned with her signature humour and wit. They are applicable to a wide range of readers because they are just so timely, pertinent and funny as hell.
She is not afraid to go where other columnists fear to tread and tell it like it is on varied and diverse subjects including crime and punishment, politics, religion, scam artists, love cheats, flying pigs and free samples, weaving in deep truths that jump out at readers and have them nodding along in agreement.
This book with its lively, current, questioning and wide-ranging topics will inform (including step by step instructions on how to bag a billionaire) provoke, entertain in equal measure and even make the reader laugh out loud. Or pigs will fly

Описание:

The originator of the Gaia theory offers the vision of a future epoch in which humans and artificial intelligence together will help the Earth survive.

James Lovelock, creator of the Gaia hypothesis and the greatest environmental thinker of our time, has produced an astounding new theory about future of life on Earth. He argues that the Anthropocene--the age in which humans acquired planetary-scale technologies--is, after 300 years, coming to an end. A new age--the Novacene--has already begun.

In the Novacene, new beings will emerge from existing artificial intelligence systems. They will think 10,000 times faster than we do and they will regard us as we now regard plants. But this will not be the cruel, violent machine takeover of the planet imagined by science fiction. These hyperintelligent beings will be as dependent on the health of the planet as we are. They will need the planetary cooling system of Gaia to defend them from the increasing heat of the sun as much as we do. And Gaia depends on organic life. We will be partners in this project.

It is crucial, Lovelock argues, that the intelligence of Earth survives and prospers. He does not think there are intelligent aliens, so we are the only beings capable of understanding the cosmos. Perhaps, he speculates, the Novacene could even be the beginning of a process that will finally lead to intelligence suffusing the entire cosmos. At the age of 100, James Lovelock has produced the most important and compelling work of his life.
