From Eros to Gaia
From Eros to Gaia is a non-fiction scientific book of 35 non-technical writings by Freeman J. Dyson, Professor Emeritus of Physics at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. This book is a collection of essays written from 1933 (when Dyson was nine years old) to 1990. It was originally published by Pantheon Books in 1992.

The book begins with Dyson's juvenile 1933 science fiction story concerning the asteroid Eros. The pieces in the collection range over anecdotal history, expository popular-science articles, lectures on public policity related to science, political issues concerning problems created by science and technology, book reviews, and people (known personally by Dyson) such as Richard Feynman, Paul Dirac, and Helen Dukas. The book ends with Dyson's contribution "Gaia" to Clifton Fadiman's 1990 collection "Living Philosophies". The concluding essay deals with the value and potential of the emerging Gaia philosophy.

The book has been translated into Spanish (1994), French (1995), and Japanese (2005).
