Staying Alive
Inspired by women's struggles for the protection of nature as a condition for human survival, award-winning environmentalist Vandana Shiva shows how ecological destruction and the marginalization of women are not inevitable, economically or scientifically. She argues that 'maldevelopment'--the violation of the integrity of organic, interconnected, and interdependent systems that sets in motion a process of exploitation, inequality, and injustice--is dragging the world down a path of self-destruction, threatening survival itself. Shiva articulates how rural Indian women experience and perceive ecological destruction and its causes, and how they have conceived and initiated processes to arrest the destruction of nature and begin its regeneration. Focusing on science and development as patriarchal projects, Staying Alive is a powerfully relevant book that positions women not solely as survivors of the crisis, but as the source of crucial insights and visions to guide our struggle.
Who Really Feeds the World?: The Failures of Agribusiness and the Promise of Agroecology
'One of the world's most formidable environmentalists' --The Guardian 'A star among environmental, activist, and anti-corporate circles' --Vice Who Really Feeds the World? is a powerful manifesto and a call-to-action for the solutions we need and the steps we need to take to survive in an era of climate collapse, threatened foodways, and urgent unsustainability. The book is a rallying cry for agricultural justice, resilience, and genuine sustainability, and draws upon revolutionary environmental activist Vandana Shiva's 30+ years of research and accomplishments in the field. Instead of relying on genetic modification and large-scale monocropping to solve the world's food crisis, she proposes that we look to agroecology--the knowledge of the interconnectedness that creates food--as a truly life-giving alternative to the harmful industrial paradigms of Big Ag. Shiva succinctly and eloquently lays out the networks of people and processes that feed the world, exploring issues of

Oneness vs. the 1%: Shattering Illusions, Seeding Freedom
With a new epilogue about Bill Gates's global agenda and how we can resist the billionaires' war on life 'This is what globalization looks like: Opportunism. Exploitation. Further centralization of power. Further disempowerment of ordinary people. . . . Vandana Shiva is an expert whose analysis has helped us understand this situation much more deeply.'--Russell Brand Widespread poverty, social unrest, and economic polarization have become our lived reality as the top 1% of the world's seven-billion-plus population pushes the planet―and all its people―to the social and ecological brink. In Oneness vs. the 1%, Vandana Shiva takes on the billionaire dictators of Gates, Buffet, and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as other modern empires like Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Ag, whose blindness to the rights of people, and to the destructive impact of their construct of linear progress, have wrought havoc across the world. Their single-minded pursuit of profit has undemocratically enforced
