Guardian Bookshop Notes:

In 1960, a young scientist invented a way to measure air pollution. For the first time we could see how we were damaging the atmosphere. His work since has led to the birth of environmentalism and huge developments in the way we understand and treat the planet. His theories are perhaps more important now than ever before. And this, after a lifetime engaged in the science of the earth, is his testament.

Publisher's description:

Illustrated with examples drawn from his experiences around the world, the author draws conclusions, an advocacy of nuclear energy. He argues that a way for humankind to come to terms with Gaia, and have a chance of surviving, is to embrace science and technology, not reject them.
