Gaia in popular culture
The embodiment of the Earth Mother in Greek mythology, Gaia entered popular culture following the publication of James Lovelock's Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth in 1979. Further books by Lovelock and others popularized the Gaia Hypothesis, which was widely embraced and passed into common usage as part of the heightened awareness of planetary vulnerability of the 1990s.
