Animate Earth Chapter 7- From Microbes to Cell Giants
                        Bacterias Rule the World talks about the types of bacterias that bring disease to humans. This chapter also speaks on behalf of the planet and its energy, recycling and decomposing methods. Bacteria also produces cell membranes into fibers in its surroundings which can cause items  that interfere to deteriorate. We also learn about a specific bacteria called Vibrio fischeri, it lives in the sea and can create colonies. Most bacteria is found in the ocean and are dangerous/poisonous to human beings. Bacterial Mergers on the other hand deals with the rise of oxygen that causes change in both the world of bacteria and earth. It causes things like climate by sun, volcanoes, and talks about oxygen as the beginning and ending of life. This gas causes very high reactions, it surrounds the outer orbit of electrons. Lastly it talks about how the plants remove carbon dioxide from our world through a process called  photosynthesis. Overall our planet lives off of oxygen and bacteria and it helps the plants live and the plants help sustain life in our universe.

Animate Earth Chapter 6- Life, Clouds, and Gaia
                               In this chapter we learn about different aspects of the earth for example Sulphur and Albedo. It also explains how dangerous gaseous chemical beings are when they affect our universe. Another topic that this chapter dives into is the inside of a coccolithophore cell this lives in the waters on the oceans surface. DMS producing algae are some small bacterias that can make foams and slimes that make it easy to be airborne. This helps the algae survive both the salt and freezing temperature in the ocean. Next is the Biomes and Climate and their ecological communities and how they impact the worlds climate. It also talks about Gaia's physiology and the way they can dramatically and unexpectedly change. Overall we learn about different chemicals that inhabit a few places around our planet and their effects on our world.

Animate Earth Chapter 5- Carbon Journeys
                In this chapter we learn about the ways carbon travels throughout the universe and the different jobs it completes. It also talks about Emiliania which is a type of algae one of the many different types is coccolithophores which means "carriers of little stoneberries." This is one of the many types of cabon journeys that are important to life on earth.  We also learn about Calcium Bicarbonaate and the way it trasmits to help the elements. "Life and land is a great rock-crushing, and rock-dissolving" being that contains many products. Volcanoes, hot springs, and earthquakes are some great dangers that cause tectonic activity and cause alot of damage. It also looks on the other side about cold damage like in Antartica and Alaska. In the end in our contemporary society it is like we are having war with nature  and we cause the climate change and natural disasters, the world will take care of us but first we need to start taking better care of our world.
Animate Earth Chapter 4- Life and the Elements
                  In this chapter we learn about elements in the universe that help tells us about how to live our life contentlly and free of harm. It also talks about atoms as beings, and how they can affect us humans as beings on earth. It also talks about another type of philosophical topic it is called panpsychism this is the idea that matter is sentient. A main few of the Gaia's Elements are: carbon, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen. It also explains Phosphorus which means light bearing and it in the language of Greece better known as Greek. Phosphorus releases energy, stores it, and its energy is derived from the sun, which is the power of light. Also we learn that every person will behave in exactly the same way, this is because when it comes to danger, we all have the same response. Finally we learn in the end that the next step for Gaia  to journey on to is the apperance of life.

Animate Earth Chapter 3- From Gaia Hypothesis to Gaia Theory
                           This chapter moves from a simple hypothesis to a real theory to be tested and experimented on to get results on Gaia. Living beings must adapt to the enviormental conditions to be able to survive and live off earthly goods. Scientist cant object Gaia they need to find rational arguments to call it a bad science. There are usually small impacts or changes in sea level or tempurature usually simple changes. There are many scientific opinions divided by causes of mass extinction. It is very possible to generate complex systems that give both positive and negative feedback. There are old and exceeding changes that the world goes through, though some things are better left unsaid.  Overall there is alot of potential for many changes in the universe over time and we are constanly adapting to new enviorments.

Animate Earth Chapter 2- Encountering Gaia
                          This chapter talks about how we relate to the Ancient Greeks and how they helped set up our society. We know Gaia is a living presence buried under sediments in the west that is a dualistic science. Something is right when it tends to preserve the integrity of stability and beauty of a biotic community. Humans are living brings with profound intuitions and ethical guide lines about how we should live and act in our daily lives. Modern science is rooted in the soil of our direct sensorial experience. Gaian approaches allow humans to develop a sense of how the local connects and contributes in multifarious surprising and normally significant ways to life at global levels. Overall we experience the whole of life and we realize that we are inseparable beings in one big planet.

Animate Earth Chapter 1-Anima Mundi
                         This chapter talks about how our world is in crisis because we don't take care of it the way we should. There are many things we can do to help the earth recover and Rushbeds Wood is a ecology that is a integrated living intelligence. There are not many natural places for exploration because we are destroying the world with our modern sceneries. There is also a animalistic perception in humans that we should get in touch with to better ourselves and the world. Animisms are everywhere possibly in ourselves they revolve around crops and land. The Scientific Revolution and Holistic Science give us insight into the earth and how to help it. The world is made of millions of elements necessary to survive here. To help ourselves help the earth we must get intact with our Intuition, Feelings,Sensing and Thinking. We must attempt to understand the earth and living beings that inhabit it, we and the earth are feelingful beings. Earth is animate-alive, sensitive, sentient and we must rediscover Gaia this is the Earth personified.
