Lynn Margulis by Dorion Sagan
An intimate, lively portrait of a pioneering evolutionary biologist who revolutionized our understanding of life by championing endosymbiosis — the idea that key cellular organelles originated as symbiotic bacteria — and persistently challenged mainstream neo-Darwinian views. Combining personal anecdotes with clear explanations of experiments and ideas, the book traces her intellectual development, collaborations, the controversies and resistance she faced, and her broader contributions to symbiosis, microbial evolution and Gaia-related thinking. It captures both her scientific audacity and her lasting impact on how we see the origins and interconnectedness of life.
