Eluid Mahihu: My Story: In the corridors of Power Through the colonial , Kenyatta and Moi Eras – Paperback
THE VOICES OF THOSE WHO have played critical roles In leadership and administration in Kenya are rarely heard after they have left the stage. Many have carried the memories of their personal stories with them to the grave. Gone with them are significant elements of the collective story, and the institutional national memory. It has been left to commentators and sundry writers to frame them in various ways, depending on the intended purposes for each frame.
In this volume, Eliud Mahihu breaks the ranks with those who served in his times, to give a candid rendition of his experience in the corridors of power, spanning wide times across the British colonial rule, the Jomo Kenyatta regime and the Daniel Arap Moi years. Mahihu was especially in his element in high level decision making spaces during the 15 years of the Jomo Kenyatta government
The reader of the Mahihu story has a rare opportunity for incursion into this first-hand narrative on the life and times of one of the people who were at the centre of power in some of Kenya’s most defining moments and happenings. The rendition is crowned by eye-witness accounts and participatory narratives that capture the Jomo Kenyatta State House, and the eventual passing on of the country’s founding president on 22 August 1978, and the aftermath.

He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. But unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards. And in his case, different can be deadly. -From the back cover "

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling
This special edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPré.
There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it’s haunting Harry Potter’s dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror? Here are just a few things on Harry’s mind: A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey A venomous, disgruntled house-elf Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams …and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowling’s seven-part story, Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical world and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew; boundless loyalty; and unbearable sacrifice. Though thick runs the plot (as well as the spine), readers will race through these pages and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has already survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion.
But his hopes for a quiet term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison.
It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously? "
