{"product_id":"staying-alive-vandana-shiva-9781623170516","title":"Staying Alive: Women, Ecology, and Development","description":"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, \u003ci\u003eStaying Alive\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vandana Shiva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623170516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623170516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Atlantic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Vandana Shiva","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043634180351,"sku":"9781623170516","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aaae30c7-4abd-4257-b822-4a45cd7250af.jpg?v=1684968283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/staying-alive-vandana-shiva-9781623170516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
