Reclaiming the Commons: Biodiversity, Traditional Knowledge, and the Rights of Mother Earth lays out the scientific, legal, political, and cultural struggle to defend the sovereignty of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge. Corporate war on nature and people through patents and corporate Intellectual Property Rights has unleashed an epidemic of biopiracy resulting in important legal battles fighting efforts to patent the rights to many plants, including basmati, neem, and wheat. The author presents details of the specific attempts made by corporations to secure these patents and the legal actions taken to fight them. The book goes beyond the legal struggle to position the necessary solutions to corporate control including the exploring the Rights of Nature and proposing a framework for a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth. It is the first detailed legal history of the international and national laws related to biodiversity and Intellectual Property Rights.

Great quality shelve
This product is excellent! The quality is outstanding, and it’s easy to assemble as long as you follow the instructions carefully. I’m thrilled with how it looks in my game room it adds a great touch. The value of this shelf is undeniable and well worth the investment.

Disappointing Quality
I got these floating shelves with LED lights for my wife, and at first, they seemed like a great purchase. She was really excited about them, and they were surprisingly easy to install. Unfortunately, after just two days, the LED lights completely stopped working. It’s really disappointing because the shelves looked great initially, and the added lighting was a nice touch. For the price, I expected much better quality and durability. It’s frustrating when something you’re excited about doesn’t live up to its promise. While the shelves themselves are still usable, the main feature—LED lighting—is what made them special, and that feature failed. I wouldn’t recommend these based on our experience.

LED floating shelves
I love that these have lights. I don't know how they could be designed to hide a cord so are as expected. I wouldn't want them with replaceable batteries either.

Good product!
10/10 would recommend! Super cool and unique. Had a lot more features than expected and good for the price. Super easy to install if you have a hand drill. Very sturdy and not super heavy. Would buy again!
