From eco-feminism and biodiversity to the Chipko Movement, swadeshi and village governance, corruption and poverty in India, and the future of Indian farmers among others, in this book Vandana Shiva unravels her heart to address many critical issues India is negotiating with. The dialogue moves effortlessly as Vandana talks about her early life, influence of her parents and teachers, her affinity with the Himalayas, love for quantum physics, role of technology and science, 'earth democracy', 'seed globalization', relevance of Gandhian philosophy in the contemporary world, and 'eco-imperialism'. Candid, lively, and personal, Talking Environment, the sixth book in the series of Ramin Jahanbegloo's interviews of prominent intellectuals, is a journey into the life and work of one of the finest thinkers of our time.
