Unduire Wa Ruriri Rwa Agikuyu by Dunc...
The people of the continent of Africa are a great multitude blest by their creator with a diversity of spiritual, mental, social, and cultural backgrounds. Even with their diversity, the African is very similar to another no matter what part of the earth they find themselves in. This similarity in physique, belief, and spirituality that is experienced from the North to the South of Africa must therefore be interrogated.
This book does not bring an overbearing of thoughts and feelings into what I believe. It is in fact written at an opportune time when Africans are curious to know who they are and where they came from. In my thoughts as expressed in this book and supported by various other African scholars and teachers of African spirituality, I have noted the importance of the Ancient civilization of Khemet which is arguably the source of all Africanism.
In this civilization, the black person had self-rule, knew how to read and write, initiated arithmetic and different people had mastered arts like construction, animal and food husbandry and illustrative representation of speech and ideas. Moreover, sciences like astrology were practiced and Africans knew how to tell the weather and seasons through observation of constellations. Worship of deities was also strongly practiced and no one grew without knowing of the essence of God in their lives.
It is in ancient Khemet (Now Egypt) that scholars from all over the world would go to learn mathematics and the use of language for the advancement of their cities. In short, the world would not have known a lot of what is now called civilization of any sort (including spiritual knowledge) without the presence of Khemet thus the presence of the black person. I am therefore opening a way for further interrogation to be done by other well-meaning authors to ensure that our future generations become more self-aware and knowledgeable about who they are and what their ancestry stood for.
In my view, people that do not know about their past or remain ignorant about their background will remain slaves of the people that choose to tell their story.
The African narrative must be told from an African point of view to ensure that the truth of the African people is advanced beyond the colloquial lies of the so-called “western civilization” which has taken place at the expense of Africa as a people. I begin by telling this truth and request to be joined in telling our younger generations henceforth that the melanin in their skin and body is God-given and is more than just skin color, it is long life, it is strength, it is agility, it is adaptation and many more. You are African and you are superior.
Mois Kleptocracy and its Spillovers b...
Most of Africa has been free from direct colonial domination for more than half a century. In that period, there are leaders who have inspired confidence among their citizens while several others have underwhelmed the citizenry. F0r Kenya and Africa to make progress, we must learn from our past lest we keep taking wrong turns we have taken in the past, time and again. Similarly, we need to take note of the times we have taken the right decisions so that we reap more from some choices we made in our past. It is in that spirit that Moi’s Kleptocracy and its Spillovers is written.
In this book, Duncan Ndegwa recounts how President Daniel arap Moi’s post1982 coup attempt missteps led to an era that left Kenya hanging on a precipice in numerous ways. By the time Moi left power in 2002, vicious cartels of ravenous overlords had ravaged Kenya and turned it into private property. A sense of exclusion that ensued left many Kenyans in a state of utter despondency.
The end of the Moi era marked a huge contrast from its beginning, which to many was associated with renewed hope. Clearly, the effects of the Moi era are yet to disappear from our national milieu decades after Daniel Moi relinquished power. Mr Ndegwa is a long-serving public servant who became President Jomo Kenyatta’s first Head of the Civil Service and Secretary to the Cabinet. He was later to serve as the first African Central Bank Governor, a role he played from 1967 to 1982. An ardent golfer, Mr. Ndegwa has remained a public-spirited individual who has, thus far, assisted hundreds of bright but needy learners to transit to the next level.
To his credit, Mr. Ndegwa published his autobiography, Walking in Kenyatta Struggles: My Story more than ten years ago. He has since commissioned abridged renditions of the same title in Gikuyu language, Rugendo rwakwa Makinyaini ma Kenyatta and one more targeting younger readers by the title, Boy From Chorong’i. His two other titles are a tribute to his cultural roots – Mucii wa Aceera a Mbari ya Ndegwa wa Wahome and Unduire wa Ruriri rwa Agikuyu.
Terrorists of the Aberdare by Nganga ...
How far can a man go to win the love of a woman? That is the question at the heart of this novella by Ng’ang’a Mbugua. Presented as a stream of consciousness, the narrative recalls the life and travails of Sonko Wakadosi, a man who is as much a victim of social circumstances as his own follies, both of which conspire to trap him in a vicious and tragic drama.
Yet, this is also a story about the consequences of the unchecked conflict between man and wild animals at a time when climate change and environmental degradation have man locked in a losing battle with the forces of nature.
Written in a light, humourous and satirical style, the book won the Wahome Mutahi Literary Prize in 2010 and in 2011 was runner up in the Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature, Kenya’s biggest award for fiction. The first edition was published in 2009 and reprinted in 2012. The book has been selected as a study text for a Masters class at the University of Nairobi and undergraduate class at Daystar University, Nairobi.

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Ha...
In the ten years since its publication in 1988, Stephen Hawking's classic work has become a landmark volume in scientific writing, with more than nine million copies in forty languages sold worldwide. That edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and nature of the universe.
But the intervening years have seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic worlds. These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the universe's beginning and revealed wrinkles in the fabric of space-time that he had projected.
Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these observations, as well as his own recent research, Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, written an entirely new chapter on wormholes and time travel, and updated the chapters throughout.
On the Genealogy of Morality by Fried...
Brief Summary
On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) is a book about the history of ethics and about interpretation. Nietzsche rewrites the former as a history of cruelty, exposing the central values of the Judaeo-Christian and liberal traditions - compassion, equality, justice - as the product of a brutal process of conditioning designed to domesticate the animal vitality of earlier cultures. The result is a book which raises profoundly disquieting issues about the violence of both ethics and interpretation.
Nietzsche questions moral certainties by showing that religion and science have no claim to absolute truth, before turning on his own arguments in order to call their very presuppositions into question. The Genealogy is the most sustained of Nietzsche's later works and offers one of the fullest expressions of his characteristic concerns.
This edition places his ideas within the cultural context of his own time and stresses the relevance of his work for a contemporary audience.
Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Don&#...
It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan?
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.”
This book takes us to the frontlines of research many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it.

Broken Vase by Qui Qarre
There are poems I’ve been wanting to scrap off from this book
I feel like I have let you see parts of me that I hate looking at
Parts of me I sometimes don’t want to be associated with
Parts of me I don’t want in my legacy
Parts I don’t want my child to know,
The sad thing is, I’m a storyteller and these are not my stories
These are your stories
Find yourself in them

Nairobi in the Making: Landscapes of ...
Brief Summary
What does it mean to make a life in an African city today? How do ordinary Africans, surrounded by collapsing urban infrastructures and amid fantastical promises of hypermodern, globalized futures, try to ensure a place for themselves in the city's future? Exploring the relationship between the remains of empire and the global city, and themes of urban belonging and exclusion, housing and security, Constance Smith examines the making and remaking of one of Africa's most fragmented, vibrant cities.
Nairobi is on the cusp of radical urban change. As in other capital cities across Africa, the Kenyan government has launched "Vision 2030", an urban megaproject that envisions the capital as a "world class metropolis", a spectacular new node in a network of global cities. Yet as a city born of British colonialism, Nairobians also live amongst the dilapidated vestiges of imperial urban planning; spaces designed to regulate urban subjects. Based on extensive ethnographic research in a dilapidated, colonial-era public housing project built as a model urban neighborhood but which is now slated for demolition, Smith explores how projects of self-making and city-making are entwined.
She traces how it is through residents' everyday lives - in the mundane, incremental work of home maintenance, in the accumulation of stories about the past, in ordinary people's aspirations for the future - that urban landscapes are formed, imaginatively, materially and unpredictably, across time. Nairobi emerges as a place of pathways and plans, obstructions and aspirations, residues and endurances, that inflect the way that ordinary people produce the city, generating practices of history making, ideas about urban belonging and attempts to refashion "Vision 2030" into a future more meaningful and inclusive to ordinary city dwellers.
