圖書描述

In "The Medea Hypothesis", renowned paleontologist Peter Ward proposes a revolutionary and provocative vision of life's relationship with the Earth's biosphere - one that has frightening implications for our future, yet also offers hope. Using the latest discoveries from the geological record, he argues that life might be its own worst enemy. This stands in stark contrast to James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis - the idea that life sustains habitable conditions on Earth. In answer to Gaia, which draws on the idea of the 'good mother' who nurtures life, Ward invokes Medea, the mythical mother who killed her own children. Could life by its very nature threaten its own existence? According to the Medea hypothesis, it does. Ward demonstrates that all but one of the mass extinctions that have struck Earth were caused by life itself. He looks at our planet's history in a new way, revealing an Earth that is witnessing an alarming decline of diversity and biomass - a decline brought on by life's own 'biocidal' tendencies. And the Medea hypothesis applies not just to our planet - its dire prognosis extends to all potential life in the universe. Yet life on Earth doesn't have to be lethal. Ward shows why, but warns that our time is running out. Breathtaking in scope, "The Medea Hypothesis" is certain to arouse fierce debate and radically transform our worldview. It serves as an urgent challenge to all of us to think in new ways if we hope to save ourselves from ourselves.

两年前在贴“质疑盖亚假说”的读后感时,[转发过媒体对这本书的书评],没想到这本书也引进了。英文版我读过,中文版还没读,不过还是值得推荐。假说与科学事实不同,假说值得被同等倾听,特别是“温情脉脉”的盖亚假说有可能对于我们的环保构成误导的时候,看一看对着干的假说...
