From the publisher
First line
In his epoch-making article introducing the September 1970 issue of Scientific American devoted to "the Biosphere," the founder of the Yale scientific school in ecology, George Evelyn Hutchinson, wrote : The idea of the biosphere was introduced into science rather casually almost a century ago by the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess, who first used the term in a discussion of the various envelopes of the earth in the last and most general chapter of a short book on the genesis of the Alps published in 1875.
