Gaia Theory Conference: "The Gaia Theory: Model & Metaphor for the 21st Century"

On October 14-15, 2006, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, in
conjunction with George Mason University and many other organizations, presents
a conference about the Gaia Theory at the George Mason University Law School in
Arlington, Virginia.   Lynn Margulis, Distinguished University Professor in the
Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and long-time
advocate of the Gaia Theory, is a keynote speaker.  Other speakers include Tyler
Volk, Co-director of the Program in Earth and Environmental Science at New York
University, Dr. Donald Aitken, Principal of Donald Aitken Associates and Thomas
Lovejoy, President of the Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the
Environment.  James Lovelock, the theory’s progenitor, will participate via a
video prepared for the event. 

The Gaia Theory is a compelling way of understanding life on our planet; an
interdisciplinary context that is enriching science at every level.  The theory
has already inspired ideas and practical applications for climate research,
energy and economic systems, policy, new scientific inquiry, and other valuable
work.  VISIT http://www.gaiatheory.org/  for more information and to register
