Soil Not Oil

Vandana Shiva

Climate change will dramatically alter how we live and is already affecting the lives of the world's most vulnerable people. In Soil Not Oil, bestselling author Vandana Shiva connects the food crisis, peak oil, and climate change to show that a world beyond a dependence on fossil fuel and globalization is both possible and necessary. Bold and visionary, Shiva reveals how three crises are inherently linked and that any attempt to solve one without addressing the others will get us nowhere.

Reviews

Irrepressible environmentalist Vandana Shiva is back, this time with less of a clarion call and more of a war cry. Soil not oil begins where a flood of recent books also start - how the global crises of peak oil, climate change and rising food prices are symptomatic of humankind's spiritual malaise and both economic and ecological bankruptcy.

[Vandana Shiva] is no doubt one of the leaders of this global and important movement ... this book is another example of her long standing contribution - well written, accessible and to be recommended.

Vandana Shiva's Soil Not Oil: Climate Change, Peak Oil and Food Insecurity is for anyone who takes the future of the planet seriously.
