About This Item
US: North Atlantic Books, 2017. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.The spine remains undamaged. World-renowned environmental activist and physicist Vandana Shiva calls for a radical shift in the values that govern democracies, condemning the role that unrestricted capitalism has played in the destruction of environments and livelihoods. She explores the issues she helped bring to international attention--genetic food engineering, culture theft, and natural resource p rivatization--uncovering their links to the rising tide of fundamentalism, violence against women, and planetary death. Struggles on the streets of Se attle and Cancun and in homes and farms across the world have yielded a set of principles based on inclusion, nonviolence, reclaiming the commons, and freely sharing the earth's resources. These ideals, which Dr. Shiva calls "Earth Democracy," serve as an urgent call to peace and as the basis for a just and sustainable future. Editorial Reviews One of the world's most prominent radical scientists." --The Guardian "Shiva ... has devoted her life to fighting for the rights of the ordinary people of India.... Her fierce intellect and her disarmingly friendly, acce ssible manner have made her a valuable advocate for people all over the dev eloping world." --Ms. magazine "Shiva is a burst of creative energy, an intellectual power." --The Progressive "A leading thinker who has eloquently blended her views on the environment, agriculture, spirituality, and women's rights into a powerful philosophy." --Utne Reader - From the Publisher.
