Women's Voices from the Rainforest
Women's Voices from the Rainforest explores the position of the women whose families are tearing down the rainforest. These women of Central and Latin America have been largely invisible until now, but they are at last turning their voices into action. International development policy and its top-down culture must take much of the blame for environmental and social destruction of the rainforest. Presenting the contrasting results of different methodologies, a comprehensive literature review, and the voices of the rainforest women themselves, told in life histories, the authors argue for the adoption of "grassroots" strategies, not international solutions.

Modeling Methods for Medical Systems Biology
This book contributes to better understand how lifestyle modulations can effectively halt the emergence and progression of human diseases. The book will allow the reader to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms by which the environment interferes with the bio-molecular regulatory processes underlying the emergence and progression of complex diseases, such as cancer. Focusing on key and early cellular bio-molecular events giving rise to the emergence of degenerative chronic disease, it builds on previous experience on the development of multi-cellular organisms, to propose a mathematical and computer based framework that allows the reader to analyze the complex interplay between bio-molecular processes and the (micro)-environment from an integrative, mechanistic, quantitative and dynamical perspective. Taking the wealth of empirical evidence that exists it will show how to build and analyze models of core regulatory networks involved in the emergence and progression of chronic degenerative diseases, using a bottom-up approach.
The Permaculture City
Permaculture is more than just the latest buzzword; it offers positive solutions for many of the environmental and social challenges confronting us. And nowhere are those remedies more needed and desired than in our cities.The Permaculture City provides practical guidance and plenty of examples for creating abundant food, energy security, close-knit communities, local and meaningful livelihoods, and sustainable policies in our cities and towns. Permaculturists have learned that the same nature-based approach that works so beautifully for growing food—connecting the pieces of the landscape together in harmonious ways—applies perfectly to many of our other needs. This book shows, in the stories of the innovators who are doing it as well as in how-to instructions, how permaculture design can help towndwellers solve the challenges of meeting our needs for food, water, shelter, energy, community, and livelihood in sustainable, resilient ways.
Terra Viva
Seit mehr als 35 Jahren ist Vandana Shiva eine der wichtigen Stimmen in der Welt, wenn es darum geht, die kleinbäuerlichen Betriebe und damit die Ernährungssouveränität zu erhalten, das Saatgut vor der Vereinnahmung durch Konzerne zu bewahren und die Rechte der Frauen ebenso zu verteidigen wie die unveräußerlichen Rechte der Erdgemeinschaft aller Lebewesen. In diesem Buch beschreibt sie ihren Weg von der akademischen Quantenphysik zu ihren eigentlichen »Professorinnen« – den Frauen der Chipko-Bewegung zur Bewahrung ihrer Wälder – , die sie die Ökologie lehrten und in die vorderste Front im Kampf gegen die Übermacht des großen Geldes führten. »Dieses brillante und tief beweg...
