He Knew He Was Right, By John & Mary Gribbin
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.James Lovelock, architect of the "Gaia" theory and climate-change pioneer, has enjoyed a long life of scientific rebellion that cries out for a strong biography.
In the Gribbins, supreme explicators, he has the chroniclers he needs. From a poor London boyhood through the growth of global-warming models to the maverick later years (nuclear power? Yes, please), they match science and events with a flair for the deep context behind big ideas. Whatever happens in Copenhagen, this story has heat and light to spare.
