#Gaia in the News: Becoming Earth

Looking back at the last few months, there’s one story about Gaia (explicitly named) that dominated the news. I first became aware of #FerrisJabr ’s new book, #BecomingEarth , back in April.

Becoming Earth is our choice for our upcoming fall #BookClub. This title was the clear winner when we recently surveyed Gaian community members. Check the article for more on the reviews - it's a good read!
