Well that is very sad news indeed. An absolute hero of mine. But what an incredible man, and what an incredible life. I highly recommend his autobiography 'Homage To Gaia.'

Gaia is a wonderful theory and one of the few to make it into the zeitgeist of common knowledde, i think. It's often referenced in the Science Fiction stories i read. RIP, James.

It was a huge influence on Brian Aldiss when he wrote the Helliconia trilogy.
