Inspired by women’s struggles for the protection of nature as a condition for human survival, award-winning environmentalist Vandana Shiva shows how ecological destruction and the marginalization of women are not inevitable, economically or scientifically.

My heart hurt for these two men, yes this is such a well written story that I was emotionally invested in their lives. He particularly loves the section on eating Gluten-free at fast food and ethnic restaurants. Kate is a strong, smart woman. A number of these stories, like "Trophies" easily cross the border between BL (not necessarily explicit) and yaoi (fully explicit, little plot). But in any case, putting the surprise, this is not a disappointment. She came across as very privileged, but because her family's ideology on religion did not match her own ideas of religious utopia - she felt disenfranchised, and abused even. Both men are invested in each other but neither is willing to admit the depth of their feelings.
