I have read this series several times and strongly recommend it. I find that volume three is a much better read if I skip over everything in italics. The least acceptable of the Gaia-stoff
is confined to this.

It's worth noting that in the first two books he has put some serious thought into the climate, and consulted with non-Lovelockian experts. As an ice-sheet modeler I have certain doubts, but that didn't affect my appreciation of a very finely told story.

I'd love to know how the ice box version of the world before the encounter
with the giant star managed large animals.
