Até poucas décadas, as ciências naturais encaravam a vida no planeta como passiva, subordinada a eventos climáticos e geológicos. James Lovelock, ao formular a Teoria Gaia, inaugurou um contraponto marcante a essa perspectiva, afirmando a existência de uma complexa teia de inter-relações entre meio e biota e, portanto, negando a mera adaptação da vida ao ambiente. Gaia: de mito a ciência apresenta uma discussão rigorosa em torno das ideias de Lovelock, de modo a proporcionar o entendimento de sua contribuição para as ciências que estudam o planeta e a apontar os mal-entendidos de que ela tem sido objeto. Este livro aprofunda questões teóricas fundamentais relacionadas ao estudo do meio ambiente, tema que o Senac São Paulo vem contemplando em várias publicações, sob diferentes enfoques, de modo a promover a visão ampla de problemas que se torna cada vez mais urgente debater em nossa sociedade.
