| Description: |
Lynn Margulis and her son, the writer Dorion Sagan, present this selection from their essays. These demonstrate how apparently unrelated interests combine into a single scientific world-view about the natural tendency of living systems to form complex interactive communities. |
| Synopsis: |
Lynn Margulis, and her son, the writer Dorion Sagan, here present a selection from their many essays that have been published. Margulis's proposal that eukaryotic cells (the cells of all multicellular animals and plants) are made up of symbiotic unions of more primitive cells was at first widely derided but is now mainstream science. She has described the previously unrecognized role microbial life plays in the maintenance of all life on earth. And she is, with James Lovelock, one of the founders of Gaia theory. In these essays, one can see how these apparently unrelated interests combine into a single, coherent scientific world-view about the natural tendency of living systems to form complex interactive communities. |
