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.
