Frank Talk To My Son by Mwancha Okioma
Mwancha Okioma holds B.Sc. (Hons), M.Sc. degrees from the University of Nairobi and has finalized a Ph.D. degree programme at Egerton University, Njoro. Mwancha Okioma was appointed as director of the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) and is the immediate former chairman of the Commodities Fund, a state parastatal which offers easily accessible credit to the coffee, sugarcane, coconut palms and bananas sub-sectors in the country.
He is now serving as a member of the Coffee Revitalization Steering Committee under the ministry of Cooperatives and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development. The author has experienced firsthand the joy and sorrow that follow after payment of earnings from all these cash crops and the fights that are put up by the children especially the sons demanding their share. Some of the sons disappear from home for a period of time, only to reappear after spending all their money.
The average age of a coffee farmer in Kenya today is sixty years. That tells you that the youth have little or no interest in farming.
Unfortunately, some of those youths have little or no interest in anything else. Therefore, the author understands the essence of bringing up a son who is disciplined and focused as well as a man of integrity prepared to navigate through the corridors of this fast changing as well as challenging world.
Frank Talk to My Son is a compilation of the author's experience with fathers who shared with him the challenges they have faced as they chaperone their sons to be grown-ups who would be able to care for their immediate and wider families as their aging parents enter their sunset years. Mwancha Okioma is the author of: What They Don't Teach You Before Marriage, one of the bestselling books in The Happy Family Life Series.
Commercial Vegetable Farming by Mwancha Okioma
Commercial Avocado Farming by Mwancha Okioma
Due to their high production and availability, avocados have become one of the most consumed tropical fruits in the world, especially in American and European countries, which is attributed to a high health-conscious population and high disposable income of the people: Avocado is a healthy nutrient dense fruit that has been included as a supper food. These health benefits are boosting the demand for avocados globally, by acting as major driving forces behind their increasing worldwide demand.
Also, the expanding food retail businesses and the growing product launches of avocado-based foods have increased their demand in continental and other restaurant chaim all over the world. The demand from these countries is expected to continue further due to increasing population.
Seventy percent of the avocados in Kenya are grown by smallholder farmers who have 5-20 trees per homestead. The author maintains that Kenya has the best soil and other ecological conditions to be one of the leading players in global avocado trade where Kenyan peasant as well as medium and large-scale (avocado) farmers could benefit in their fight against poverty. The Avocado Market size is estimated at USD 22.69 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 35.55 billion by 2029.

Screw It, Let’s Do It Expanded
Throughout my life I have achieved many remarkable things. In Screw It, Let's Do It, I will share with you my ideas and the secrets of my success, but not simply because I hope they'll help you achieve your individual goals.
Today we are increasingly aware of the effects of our actions on the environment, and I strongly believe that we each have a responsibility, as individuals and organisations, to do no harm. I will draw on Gaia Capitalism to explain why we need to take stock of how we may be damaging the environment, and why it is up to big companies like Virgin to lead the way in a more holistic approach to business.
In Screw It, Let's Do It I'll be looking forwards to the future. A lot has changed since I founded Virgin in 1968, and I'll explain how I intend to take my business and my ideas to the next level and the new and exciting areas - such as launching Virgin Fuels - into which Virgin is currently moving. But I have also brought together all the important lessons, good advice and inspirational adages that have helped me along the road to success.
Ironically, I have never been one to do things by the book, but I have been inspired and influenced by many remarkable people. I hope that you too might find a little inspiration between these pages."

Through My African Eyes by Jeff Koinange
"Through My African Eyes!” is a concise narrative covering some of the major players in 20th century African politics. The book is rich with insights into the personal and intellectual underpinnings of many historical events in Africa. Chronicles of some pretty interesting Africans from warlords, soldiers, victims and politicians lend insight into Jeff’s celebrated journalistic style. Through his eyes we are made to understand the role of journalist’s as binders of our social fabric.
"Through My African Eyes” is very informative and quite humorous, utilizing a modern quick precise narrative style. He is able to describe complex global geopolitical issues with incisive analysis. The book surf’s one through the experience with speed and historical accuracy. We see the visual the words impart, rather than being stuck in prose. The best part is being able to walk the journey informed by a largely Kenyan perspective. Jeff outlines clearly how biased reportage can splinter any society and promote its disintegration by pandering to people’s lowest instincts.
The narrative draws out lesser-known aspects of his life. Jeff’s unblinking examination of his grandfather’s life is historically illuminating and serves as a symbolic bridge between the beginning and the end of colonialism. Jeff is the first African ever to win a Television Emmy and a George Foster Peabody. He merited the Vernon Jarrett Award as well as the prestigious! ‘Prix Bayeux’ for reportage that arrested global crises."

Virgin Way
Now Branson gives an inside look at his strikingly different swashbuckling style of leadership. Learn how fun, family, passion, and the dying art of listening are key components to what his extended family of employees around the world have always dubbed (with a wink) the "Virgin Way.”
This unique perspective comes from a man who dropped out of school at sixteen, suffers from dyslexia, and has never worked for anyone but himself. He may be famous for thinking outside the box—an expression he despises—but Branson asserts that "you’ll never have to think outside the box if you refuse to let anyone build one around you.”
This is a unique book on leadership from someone who readily admits he has never read a book on leadership in his life. So expect the unexpected.""
