A distinguished microbiologist explains the importance of symbiosis - where different organisms contribute to each other''s support - and how this is changing our view of life on Earth

Lynn Margulis is an ardent supporter of the Gaia hypothesis: the idea that due to the finely balanced interdependence of all life forms, the planet functions as a single, giant cell. She argues that no organism is an island, and that all are linked to each other.

Written with tremendous zest and authority The Symbiotic Planet traces the evolution of Earth from the origins of life and sex to the emergence of ''hyperseas'' and an eerie future she describes for humanity.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lynn Margulis

Lynn Margulis (1938-2011), a quem os colegas chamaram "a principal arquiteta do reposicionamento da biologia em termos de comunidades que interagem", e uma "visionária que antecipou como iríamos reconhecer o impacto do mundo microbiano na forma e na função de toda a biosfera, da sua estrutura molecular aos seus ecossistemas", produziu um impacto nas ciências da vida comparável ao de Charles Darwin. Durante mais de trinta anos, colaborou em projetos de escrita científica e artísticos com o seu filho Dorion Sagan, filósofo, autor e coautor de vinte e cinco livros, traduzidos para cerca de quinze línguas. As suas obras em conjunto incluem Microcosmos, Symbiogenesis, Slanted Truths, What is Life?, Origins of Sex, e Dazzle Gradually.
