Whole Earth Index

CoEvolution Quarterly, Summer 1975

“The Gaia Hypothesis […] treats the anomalous Earth atmosphere as an artifact of life and comprehends the planet itself as a single life. The two old puzzles — 1) How does the bizarre Earth atmosphere maintain itself? and 2) How does fragile Earth life maintain itself? — solve each other.”
