Pressestimmen

From the reviews:

"always original, always important, usually controversial, and usually right"
- FROM THE FOREWORD BY FREEMAN DYSON

"an extraordinary theory from one of the world's most original minds."
- NIGEL HAWKES, THE TIMES, LONDON

"The leading supporter of the abiotic theory in the U.S. is Prof. Thomas Gold of Cornell. His 1999 book, The Deep Hot Biosphere (Springer-Verlag) is a thorough discussion of the issues. It is based in part on research financed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Among prominent scientists whose work supports the abiotic theory are Jean Whelan of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Mahlon Kennicutt of Texas A&M University, and J.F Kenny of the Gas Resources Corporation."
- http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=4092

"There is much to be said about this important book … . Gold exhibits the irreversible and universal genius that we recognize in Aristotle and Leonardo da Vinci. … The versatility and range of knowledge exhibited is remarkable. … The Deep Hot Biosphere is a highly interesting and important book; it should be required reading for every geology student." (David Deming, Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 17 (2), 2003)

"Thomas Gold is a physicist who is not afraid of controversy. … His big new theory … is that oil and natural gas are produced by geology and chemistry of the hot deep layers below the Earth’s surface … . The book is the best kind of science writing: contentious and passionate, with all the evidence there for you to weigh up." (New Scientist, August, 2001)

Kurzbeschreibung

Does there exist, deep within the earth's crust, a second biosphere-- composed of very primitive, thermophilic (heat-loving) bacteria, and containing more living matter than the entire surface? This idea, first proposed by the author in the early 1980s, is now supported by a growing body of evidence. The implications are astonishing: is the deep biosphere where life originated? Can Mars and other seemingly dead planets contain deep biospheres? Is there yet another--deeper, hotter--biosphere within the earth, based on silicon instead of carbon? This is the first book to explore this very controversial, intriguing theory.

food for thought 16. Mai 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
To get the most out of this book you would have to have a good background in geology or the petroleum formation aspects of geology, not to mention chemistry. Gold takes some wild theories and spins a convincing tale. Bold assumptions are piled one on top of the other, with sometimes too technically detailed support. Also, he seems to contradict himself at times.

However, through all this he weaves a great story of alternative theories for petroleum formation, earthquakes and even the origins of life. Is he right? Is he crazy? Keep in mind that throughout the years, Gold has developed theories that at the time were at right angles to conventional thought, and on more than one occasion he was correct.

For those of us not in the petroleum business the book will make you think. Despite its technical nature it is readable. For those within the geology and petroleum industry the book may be considered as heresy. If you think Gold is wrong, base that opinion on counter arguments to his new theories, sighting what is wrong with his ideas. A previous reviewer (who happens to be a geologist) simply restated the standard lines of a biogenic origin for our "fossil fuels". Such blind criticism is uncalled for.

Bubbling Crude 17. April 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
There is a place in geology for fruitful speculation, but Gold's thesis misses out. Speaking as a geologist, we actually do have a clear understanding of how oil, gas and coal (e. g., Hypersea) form. The reason most oil is found in the Middle East is because of ancient oceanic productivity in the Tethyan seaway resulting from marine upwelling during the Mesozoic. Gold's thesis is therefore unnecessary. I edited the English translation of Vladimir Vernadsky's book The Biosphere. Vernadsky tells us that there is indeed a Deep Hot Biosphere. It has formed, however, by bacteria moving downward, not by organisms coming up from the the earth's interior where temperatures and pressures make life impossible. I nevertheless have grudging admiration for Gold. I tip my hat to anyone who can convince the Swedes to spend tens of millions to drill a hole in the Siljan impact structure!

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Thomas Gold proposed his deep earth gas theory some twenty years ago. He believes that organic fuel is not organic and has some convincing arguments which cannot easily be dismissed. If he is right, this would be a radical new view on the origin of life. Gold's ideas make interesting reading. Unfortunately, Gold is very much the scientist and stretches every argument down to the last inch, which can be boring and repetitive at times. You might not want to spend 27 bucks on this one, but be wise enough to take b&n 15 dollars deal.
