The resistance to this biopiracy--the use of intellectual property systems to legitimize the exclusive ownership and control over biological resource and biological products and processes that have been used over centuries in non-industrialized cultures--is the struggle to conserve both cultural and biological diversity. Since the land, the forests, the oceans, and the atmosphere have already been colonized, eroded, and polluted, Northern capital is now looking for new colonies to exploit and invade for further accumulation--in Shiva's view, the interior spaces of the bodies of women, plants, and animals. Featuring a new introduction by the author, this edition of Biopiracy is a learned, clear, and passionately stated objection to the ways in which Western businesses are being allowed to expropriate natural processes and traditional forms of knowledge."-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A learned, clear, and passionately stated objection to the ways in which Western businesses are being allowed to expropriate natural processes and traditional forms of knowledge"--Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Biopiracy. 650 0 $a Biotechnology $x Patents. 775 08 $i Revision of: $a Shiva, Vandana. $t Biopiracy. $d Boston, MA : South End Press, 1997 $z 0896085562 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806022951.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E9359D2B85D11E6BDBAC4DDDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
