Making Peace with the Earth

Most relevant subject of our times. Dr. Shiva leads the way with her profound, scientific, holistic knowledge. May we be awakened to Making Peace With The Earth ~ if our species is to survive.Publisher failed to print the spine of the book, thus only 4 stars.

Vandana Shiva is a marvelous intellect and environmental hero of our time. The book is focused on India's struggle with industrialism vs. small farming. It's packed with facts and figures which can at times make reading tedious. I would have appreciated a more conversational read as I so enjoy and admire Ms. Shiva's work and have listened to her interviews in rapt amazement.

I am a big fan of Vandana Shiva. She has an unique balance of knowledge, wisdom, clarity and commitment in her message. You can trust the information. And most people who are so deeply involved in world affairs have a degree of cynicism. Dr. Shiva has a clear vision of how to address major problems that face us today and gives her readers the background knowledge to bring them up to speed. A big thinker, a big heart.

A must read if we hope to leave a healthy and productive planet to future generations. We continue with business as usual and we are all doomed

This book was excellent food for thought, well-written, easy to follow and one that should inspire the reader to action.

Bought for school, it was what was needed.

This is a quick read, due mainly to the fact that it is based on the author's personal experience, opinion, an anecdotes, rather than being the investigative journalism exploration I had hoped it would be.

In good shape, met my expectations.

Great book, assembling many of my own thoughts. It is interesting because through Vandana's eyes and particularly what she writes about land grabbing and the dishonesty and complete disregard by corporations and their abettors (our governments) of the well-being and livelihoods of both humans and all other species, I am able to look back to what has gone on in Europe where all of this is already firmly in place.

The book written in the Indian context. Nevertheless, it could be used as a collection of case studies when it comes to fighting for the justice for the underpriviledged and the sustainability of the planet.

I bought this book as a present for my wife, she just loves it, and I am waiting for her to finish, so I can read it.
