An examination of the many controversial appropriations of nature by private concerns, from the rain forests to the gene pool.


'An easily read book illuminating the multifarious process of environmental degradation, as well as the motley social movements, especially on a grass-root level, resisting the privatisation of common resources and ecological degradation on both a local and global level.' Capital & Class Tackling the key themes -- such as the convergence of environment and social justice, global commodities, and the role of social movements -- the contributors draw on examples from the Amazon, Mexico, Cameroon, India and the industrialised North.
