Every individual is a traveler at heart. It is evolution that has confined and defined our current existence. The mind wanders and wonders seamlessly. Physical travel is a mere extension of this wondrous wandering mind! Our planet is a mine of unexplored treasures, hidden away in varied surroundings against spectacular backdrops and amidst vibrant cultures. Little Aariya Goes to Kenya (and also in Tanzania and Zanzibar) brings one such multitextured wonderland to its readers, which is seen through the curious eyes and mind of a ten-year-old. The safari tales narrated in the book are based on real-life experiences of the author in the abundant animal abode of East Africa over the last four years. Every visit ends up in a new discovery, in a new learning, and in a new high, keeping the author wanting for more. There is no surprise that East Africa enjoys the highest number of repeat travelers, as one visit is never enough. Moreover, the informal nature of the native culture, the warmth of the local people, and the togetherness that you enjoy during the hours spent driving and bonding on the game drives makes it a true family getaway, an experience that is most endearing. It is only in East Africa that one can witness the largest game on planet Earth. Sensational, stunning, sensitive, and surreal!

The journey of a boy that began from a little-known village of Mathak in Gujarat, India, culminated in the creation of East Africa's biggest business groups to straddle the industrial world of steel, cement, infrastructure and aviation. This is the inspiring story of Narendra Raval, endearingly known as 'Guru', who began from the most humble beginnings to reach the zenith of his career through tireless hard work, an inherent business acumen and sheer tenacity. His autobiography, in collaboration with his dear friend and colleague, Kailash Mota, traces four decades in the life of Guru Bhai Narendra Raval. It is hard to believe that the astute businessman, who successfully built a US$ 650 million industrial empire, began his work life as a young, teenage priest in Nairobi, Kenya. Today, Guru Bhai runs his business empire with more than 4,500 employees spread across East Africa. He was also featured among the top 50 richest men in the Forbes Africa 2015 list. A fascinating, awe-inspiring autobiography, A Long Walk to Success is a legacy of wisdom and guidance for young entrepreneurs inspiring to walk in Guru Bhai's footsteps.

“The definitive African book of the twentieth century” (Moses Isegawa, from the Introduction) by the Nobel Prize–nominated Kenyan writer The puzzling murder of three African directors of a foreign-owned brewery sets the scene for this fervent, hard-hitting novel about disillusionment in independent Kenya. A deceptively simple tale, Petals of Blood is on the surface a suspenseful investigation of a spectacular triple murder in upcountry Kenya. Yet as the intertwined stories of the four suspects unfold, a devastating picture emerges of a modern third-world nation whose frustrated people feel their leaders have failed them time after time. First published in 1977, this novel was so explosive that its author was imprisoned without charges by the Kenyan government. His incarceration was so shocking that newspapers around the world called attention to the case, and protests were raised by human-rights groups, scholars, and writers, including James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Donald Barthelme, Harold Pinter, and Margaret Drabble.

ISBN: 1036409430

This book challenges many suppositions surrounding sex tourism, suggesting that elderly males who seek romance and are caught up in their fantasies of finding love with ‘exotic’ black women are taken advantage of, even while the women are often deluding themselves when searching for the mzungu who will enable them to fulfil their dreams of travel, house ownership and comfort. It is a complex story based on research into the lives of the sex workers obtained from a study conducted over 12 months in the bars and nightclubs of the Kenyan coast. Fortunes are made and lost, but the tragedy is that the success of the few in achieving their dreams becomes a false promise for the majority who seek to emulate the success of the few. The book will be of immense value to those interested in gender studies, and indeed those who hold an interest in the complexities of sex work.

ISBN: 1408828235

This is a book about two forms of service that may appear contradictory: war-fighting and peacemaking, military service and social entrepreneurship. In 2001, Marine officer-in-training Rye Barcott cofounded a nongovernmental organization with two Kenyans in the Kibera slum of Nairobi. Their organization-Carolina for Kibera-grew to become a model of a global movement called participatory development, and Barcott continued volunteering with CFK while leading Marines in dangerous places. It Happened on the Way to War is a true story of heartbreak, courage, and the impact that small groups of committed citizens can make in the world.
