Terra Viva: My Life in a Biodiversity of Movements by Vandana Shiva (English) Pa

Description: Terra Viva by Vandana Shiva Terra Viva was originally published in India in 2022 by Women Unlimited. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description One of the worlds most prominent radical scientists. The GuardianVandana Shiva is an expert [on the dangers of gobalization] whose analysis has helped us understand this situation much more deeply. Russell BrandA powerful new memoir published to coincide with Vandana Shivas 70th birthday.Vandana Shiva has been described in many ways: the Gandhi of Grain, a rock star in the battle against GMOs, and the most powerful voice for people of the developing world. For over four decades she has vociferously advocated for diversity, indigenous knowledge, localisation, and real democracy; she has been at the forefront of seed saving, food sovereignty, and connecting the dots between the destruction of nature, the polarization of societies, and indiscriminate corporate greed.In Terra Viva, Dr Shiva shares her most memorable campaigns, alongside some of the worlds most celebrated activists and environmentalists, all working towards a livable planet and healthier democracies. For the very first time, she also recounts the stories of her childhood in post-partition India - the influence of the Himalayan forests she roamed; her parents, who saw no difference in the education of boys and girls at a time when this was not the norm; and the Chipko movement, whose women were the real custodians of biodiversity-related knowledge. Throughout, Shivas pursuit of a unique intellectual path marrying quantum physics with science, technology, and environmental policy will captivate the reader.Terra Viva is a celebration of a remarkable life and a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges we face moving forward - including those revealed by the Covid crisis, the privatisation of biotechnology, and the commodification of our biological and natural resources. All of us who care about the future of Planet Earth must be grateful to Vandana Shiva. Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace Author Biography Vandana Shiva is a world-renowned environmental thinker and activist, a leader in the International Forum on Globalisation, and of the Slow Food Movement. Director of Navdanya and of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, and a tireless crusader for farmers, peasants, and womens rights, she is the author and editor of a score of influential books, among them Oneness vs. the 1%; Making Peace with the Earth; Soil Not Oil; Globalizations New Wars; Seed Sovereignty, Food Security: Women in the Vanguard; and Who Really Feeds the World?Shiva is the recipient of over twenty international awards, including the Right Livelihood Award (1993); the Medal of the Presidency of the Italian Republic (1998); the Horizon 3000 Award (Austria, 2001); the John Lennon-Yoko Ono Grant for Peace (2008); the Save the World Award (2009); the Sydney Peace Prize (2010); the Calgary Peace Prize (2011); and the Thomas Merton Award (2011).
