I'm not sure if the problem is with the translation or if the content of the original is just like that... The translation is so poor that I want to read the original just to see if it's like this. The core message of the content feels difficult to grasp in every sentence. I had to select an emotional tag, so I had no choice but to select "Helpful," but it is so hard to read because of the translation that I can't even bring myself to say it was helpful.

Good content, helpful

All living things evolve through a series of cooperative relationships. Humans are not as special as we think, and even the smallest creatures living in the natural world are connected to all living things. (From the back flap of the cover) In the myth of Gaia, the name of the Earth goddess Gaia often signifies the mother of all life. Gaia theory, or Gaia-ology, views the Earth as one large (biological) organism, stating that everything interacts with one another and seeks harmony. However, the

First, I looked up what Gaia is. Before the world of gods like Zeus, whom we commonly know, the world was ruled by gods named Uranus, Zeus's grandfather, and Cronus, his father. This era is called the Age of the Titans, and Gaia is the goddess who gave birth to these Titan gods. In other words, in Greek mythology, Gaia is the mother of creation who existed at the very beginning. The book consists of a total of 28 chapters and discusses everything from the origins of all living things we

I learned in school that Gaia means "Mother Earth." I briefly studied the Gaia theory; while it looked impressive, it wasn't something that easily resonated with me. In terms of physics, it might be comparable to quantum mechanics or the theory of relativity. It seems like the kind of theory that looks grand and impressive, but is difficult to understand—yet perfect for showing off to others. One of the mysteries humanity has yet to solve is the secret of the origin and evolution of life. Of

We often have a habit of referring to animals and plants, which are not human, as mere objects. Although referring to even animals in this way is clearly beyond human arrogance, humans who fail to realize this fact can be considered symbols of foolishness. If we consider whether the things we believe make humans far superior to other animals are truly so, we would arrive at the precise answer of "no." So why do we disparage animals and plants in this way? Both the author and I have thought that

Humans refer to themselves as the lords of creation and consider themselves the greatest beings among all life on Earth; however, human history accounts for only 0.004% of the Earth's 4.5 billion-year history, meaning the time humans have existed on Earth is nothing more than a fleeting moment. As far back as 3.5 billion years ago, the first photosynthetic life forms appeared, followed by eukaryotes—which were more advanced than single-celled organisms—2 billion years ago. Multicellular

The title of the translated version feels subtly different from the feeling conveyed by the original... For one thing, there is the difference in that it does not use the word "Gaia"... While it makes perfect sense considering the content of the text, there are some subtly different points @@;; Also, the cover of the original is much cooler! When I received it, I thought the translated cover wasn't bad either—it had a cute vibe?—but considering the scale and historical significance of the

In “The Hidden Life of Life: A Walk through the Reaches of Time” (by Elizabeth M. Thomas, translated by Jeong Jin-gwan, published by Knowledge Wings), the natural world or the process of evolution is referred to as Gaia, and the capabilities of all living things are affirmed infinitely. The term Gaia used by the author appears to be derived from the Gaia hypothesis. This theory, proposed by British scientist James Lovelock (1919–), posits that the Earth is not merely a planet but functions as a

It is an interesting book about life on Earth.
