Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Authorised biography of one of Britain's most important and controversial living scientists: James Lovelock. Published to coincide with his new book "The Face Of Gaia" and his journey into space. Not bad for a man who, before he became an independent scientist, was forced to sell his own blood in order to support his family.

Publisher's description:

Jim Lovelock is best known as the 'father' of Gaia theory, which is established as the most useful way of understanding the dramatic changes happening to the environment of the Earth. But few people know about his early work as a chemist and inventor. This book reveals the independent and inspiring life of Jim Lovelock.
