This is a powerful, challenging and well-researched book. Shiva’s understanding of ecological principles is extrapolated from the particular to the general.

Not all readers will like or agree with Shiva. Some will believe that it is impossible for us to reshape world values as she advocates. That is all the more reason to read her book. Only by uncovering the true costs of globalization that Shiva describes can we begin to right the problems it is causing.

Based on the lecture that Shiva delivered when winning the Sydney Peace Prize in 2010, this book outlines the perilous position in which limitless-growth capitalism has put us, and offers solutions for a peaceful, sustainable future. Big thinking, and important reading.

Making Peace with the Earth is a ... rich resource for anyone wishing to survey the state of environmental justice in India.
