Making peace with the earth / Vandana Shiva. by Shiva, Vandana. Fernwood Pub., c2013. Call #: 333.7 S558m Subjects Food supply -- Social aspects.   Water-supply -- Moral and ethical aspects.   Sustainability -- Social aspects.   Nature -- Effect of human beings on   Environmental degradation -- Social aspects ISBN:  9781552665664 (pbk.) Description:  [vii], 267 p. : chart, geneal. tables ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  Pitting humans against the earth, and placing them outside the earth community, is an outmoded, fossilized legacy of capitalist patriarchy and mechanistic thought that gave us fossil-fuel based industrialism and colonialism and is now imposing militarized growth on communities. If our species is to survive, we must re-imbed ourselves in the earth and become part of the earth community. We must reawaken our duties to protect the earth and our rights as earth citizens to a fair share of her gifts. For this we need to revisit our concepts of growth and prosperity. Making peace with the Earth begins with a paradigm shift from the mechanistic ideas of the earth as dead matter to the earth as Gaia, a living planet, our mother. We need a new paradigm for living on the Earth because the old one is clearly not working. An alternative is now a survival imperative for the human species.
