Description

Award-winning scientist and activist Dr. Vandana Shiva argues that genetic engineering and the cloning of organisms are "the ultimate expression of the commercialization of science and the commodification of nature... life itself is being colonized." According to Jeremy Rifkin, Shiva's book is "a path-breaking work on one of the most important issues of the coming century... a clarion call [that should be widely read and discussed by everyone concerned with the fate of the Earth."
