Life as a Geological Force is about the way the minuscule and the huge--giant interactive systems--work together on our planet. Peter Westbroek proposes that the idea of GAIA (that the largest organism on earth is the earth itself) helps us to perceive how all parts of it work together. His story begins in Java, where the ocean's crust is plunging into the earth, creating both the island and enormous earthquakes and volcanoes.
