The Biosphere Hardcover - 1998
by Revised by M. a. McMenamin; D. B. Langmuir (Translator); Preface by L. Margulis
Though long unknown in the West, Vladimir Vernadsky's "The Biosphere", first published in Russian in 1926, revolutionized our view of life on Earth and formed the foundation of what we now know as Gaia theory. With this milestone publication, the first English translation of the entire text, English-speaking readers can at last read one of the great classics of modern science in their own language.
First line
In his epoch-making article introducing the September 1970 issue of Scientific American devoted to "the Biosphere," the founder of the Yale scientific school in ecology, George Evelyn Hutchinson, wrote : The idea of the biosphere was introduced into science rather casually almost a century ago by the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess, who first used the term in a discussion of the various envelopes of the earth in the last and most general chapter of a short book on the genesis of the Alps published in 1875.
