This book is a testament to the great work that Vandana has done for the food and ecological movements.
-Carlo Petrini, Founder, Slow Food
Vandana Shiva is the most brilliant woman I know; she is impressive, with a global knowledge of the environmental problems created, above all, by social disorders and the selfishness of short-term power.
-Gilles-?ric S?ralini, molecular biologist and co-author of The Monsanto Papers
Vandana Shiva?s brilliant, discerning mind, granite character, poetic soul, and her galvanising skills as a grassroots organiser have won her place in the pantheon of the most effective and beloved leaders of the global environmental movement.
-Robert F. Kennedy Jr., environmental lawyer
This beautifully-written memoir is a compelling narrative which should be read by everyone who loves land, life and the integrity of our precious Planet Earth.
-Satish Kumar, Founder, Schumacher College
Reading this book will open your mind to the causes of the deep problems we have been pushed into by the actions of a few, and give you hope and courage to reverse the downward spiral.
-Hans R. Herren, Founder and President, Biovision Foundation
Terra Viva is one of the most remarkable books I have ever read. It is an awe-inspiring tale of multiple struggles against multiple injustices against people and our environment? Vandana?s life story shows that she is one of our most extraordinary leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Dr Martin Luther King.
-Andr? Leu, International Director, Regeneration International
Terra Viva chronicles Vandana?s thoughts, knowledge, convictions, and a sustained commitment to movement-building and maintenance of life. Thank you, Vandana, for the generous offering of this testament, this living book, this sharing of your life.

The author of Before Memory Fades has served as Pakistan’s ambassador to Germany and Italy, and as a member of the National Assembly, where he chaired the body’s standing committee on foreign affairs.
This book would be particularly beneficial for students of foreign affairs, especially about building relationships between countries.
Mian Abdul Waheed had made numerous contributions to Pakistan, including his work as ambassador to Germany, where he was pivotal in convincing the German government to sell a steel mill to Pakistan. Telling that only a few people can be said to have changed the fate of a nation, Mian Abdul Waheed claimed that Pakistan’s nuclear capability was a pivotal moment in the country’s history. Author of the book has thrown light on the facts and described whole truth. And that the bureaucrats and politicians had been hindering the progress and development of the country. He has thrown light on how Pakistan emerged as a nuclear power and his role in it. Foreword of this book has been written by Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan.

Author: DR. ABDUL QADEER KHAN
When a woman with brains and beauty from a wealthy background decides to take her fate into her own hands and challenge the restrictions of a male-oriented, conservative society, the consequences can be devastating. Born into one of Pakistan’s most influential families, Tehmina Durrani was raised in the privileged milieu of Lahore high society, and educated at the same school as Benazir Bhutto. Like all women of her rank, she was expected to marry a prosperous Muslim from a respectable family, bear him many children, and lead a sheltered life of air-conditioned leisure. When she married Mustafa Khar, one of Pakistan’s most eminent political figures, she continued to move in the best circles, and learned to keep up the public facade as a glamorous, cultivated wife, and mother of four children. In private, however, the story-book romance of the most talked-about couple in Pakistan rapidly turned sour. Mustafa Khar became violently possessive and pathologically jealous, and succeeded in cutting his wife off from the outside world. For the course of the fourteen-year marriage, she suffered alone, in silence.
When Tehmina decided to rebel, the price she paid was extremely high: as a Muslim woman seeking a divorce, she signed away all financial support, lost the custody of her four children, and found herself alienated from her friends and disowned by her parents.
Following the divorce, she felt she had to tell her story. When Pakistan publishers balked at the controversial nature of her manuscript, she published it herself. The book was a bombshell and shook Pakistani society to its foundations. Her at last was someone who had succeeding in reconciling her faith in Islam with her ardent belief in women’s rights. Tehmina’s story, adapted now for western readers, provides extraordinary insights into the vulnerable position of women caught in the complex web of Muslim society.
