The Violence of Green Revolution

The Violence of Green Revolution
By:Vandana Shiva
Published on 1991 by Zed Books


The Green Revolution is often touted as being one of independent India's most outstanding achievements. But behind the widely broadcast images of full granaries and an explorable gain surplus lies a grim tale of environmental and social carnage. In this book, already a classic, Vandana shiva, examines the impact of the Green Revolution in the state of Punjab. She documents the destruction of genetic diversity and soil fertility that resulted from the Green Revolution in the State, and also shows how the acute social and political conflicts that eventually emerged tore Punjab apart and continue to simmer. As India gets hopelessly mired in the brave new world of modern agriculture with its interactable problems, this book constitutes a warning about the horrors that lie ahead. It should spur the thoughtful and the concerned towards greater efforts in developing a workable, humane alternative.

Riva Ridge ~ Penny's First Champion By:Kate Chenery Tweedy,Leeanne Ladin Published on 2012-09-15 by The Forgotten Champion of Meadow Stable… He ran like a deer. But perhaps because he was so light and lithe, Riva Ridge did not pound his legacy into the public mind the way that his bold and brawny superstar stablemate, Secretariat, did. Though he saved The Meadow from the auction block and nearly won the Triple Crown in 1972, Riva lived his life under the enormous shadow of Secretariat. To celebrate 2012 as the fortieth anniversary of Riva’s Derby and Belmont victories, we wrote this book honoring “the forgotten champion” of Meadow Stable. It features exclusive Chenery family photos of Riva, along with personal memories from Penny Chenery, Ron Turcotte, Charlie Davis and others who were close to the horse Penny called her “Golden Boy.” We hope this book gives Riva the long-overdue recognition he deserves for his many accomplishments and his valiant spirit. As his fans once chanted: ...

However, her newest teacher Mr. Daniels sees the bright, creative kid underneath the trouble maker. With his help, Ally learns not to be so hard on herself and that dyslexia is nothing to be ashamed of.
