Debating Global Terrorism: Ethical Implications for Africa's Development
by Boaz Adhengo

This book has been written within a case study of the East African region in comparison to the international conferences within Africa that attempt to address the delicate issue of terrorism. It attempts to outline the global perceptions on what terrorism entails, to the greatest extent on what these mind sets impact to development agendas as strategised by state authorities. As much as the book gives little recommendation on what is to be done on specific issue areas, it has outlined on the common experiences that Africa, as a continent has recorded within its four hot zones of East, West, North and South. From Blood Diamonds to Somali Pirates, these books debates ethically on what went wrong, what is still biased and what ethics need be involved for effective result in our own intelligence planning. It is a must read for students of International Relations and for those involved in Security Studies. This book is written with view that anyone cares for his environment and everyone enjoys his own definition of sovereignty.

The Greedy Hyena
by James Ouma

Though written from an eco-ethics perspective, this book is put in symbolic expression to enable the young at mind and young at heart comprehend nature, ethics and sustainability. It is a children's folk story teaching about the harm of being greedy and over zealous. In the story, the dog and the hyena are used to represent human beings. The hyena and the dog are very good friends, who share everything they have. The dog likes being with his friend. But just like any other friend, the hyena has a fault. He is too greedy. One day they start looking for food when as luck would have it, they find something to eat, inside a hut. Suddenly the hyena becomes greedy. His friend warns him, but he doesn't listen. At the end he gets caught. Can this be used to interpret the upheavals we experience today as a world? From Climate Change to Terrorism, these are all results of greed and the young generation must be put on alert. Human greed is one of the biggest underlying problems facing the environment. This book becomes the first in the EEIU Nabuur Children's Series.

'Directory of Conservation Funding Sources For Developing Countries, written by A. O. Owino and J. O. Oyugi.'

This directory provides an in-depth listing of potential donors for project and proposal developments. This is especially important considering that many students, organizations and individuals, especially in developing countries, still lack adequate information on potential donor organizations to support their projects and career developments. Due to this problem, many good ideas with a high potential of contributing useful information for environmental conservation, development actions and capacity building/training fail to get support from potential donors, either through lack of information or because of the type of approach strategies adopted.

This directory will better help project and proposal developers to acquire information about donors that is necessary to target project ideas, determine a potential donor's interest in supporting or investing in a project, and eliminate donors whose missions and objectives do not match particular programmes.

Balozi Journal
Edited by: Boaz Adhengo

This journal is landmark to the ongoing quest of transcending eco-ethics as a practice to the young at mind and youthful at heart, for their proper development of workable thesis that could be incorporated to various areas of global planning. The Journal is a result of our recent involvement at the United States International University, through our volunteers who membered the Young Diplomats Forum, a club that integrates students from all majors, hence the name Balozi. Articles published range from ecological journalism, to ecological diplomacy. Special relevance is given to scientific papers that are easy to interpret, though limited to issues of environmental politics. This is the only journal that encourages students at all levels to publish their marked essays and develop strong practice for eco ethics.

Attempting the Ultimate: The Kenyan Positivism
Written by: Boaz Adhengo

This book proposes a general theory of law, inclusive logical positivism, which seeks to remain within the tradition represented by authors such as Austin, Hart, MacCormick, and Raz, while sharing some of the virtues of both classical and modern theories of natural law, as represented by authors such as Aquinas, Fuller, Finnis, and Dworkin. Its central theoretical questions are: Does the existence or content of positive law ever depend on moral considerations? If so, is this fact consistent with natural positivism? The author shows how inclusive positivism allows one to answer yes to both of these questions.In this era of scholarly understanding and in these times of democratic reorganizations, we must all adapt to relevant modes of inquiry, we must develop critical perceptions on our reality and subsequently invite science to guide this critical process. This book attempts to promote involvement of individuals to research, green politics and ethical debate. It is written for the Kenyan membership of EEIU, but is open for reading to anyone interested in our similar quest. Inspired by the provoking enlightenment within debates of creative economy and the cultural industry, this book aims to make artistic expressions a tool of scientific inquiry, using a language and introductive tactic that can be criticized for the better. It is a must read for all interested on growth and development, and will be used as inductive text to new members and partners. The chapters are readable in any style; you may as well begin with the last chapter. This book has enabled the establishment of the Center for Commerce, Energy and Environment in Kenya, through the resulting seminars, emanating discussions and the call for its perfection/refinement. For a glimpse, positivism has been defined as a set of epistemological perspectives and philosophies of science which hold that the scientific method is the best approach to uncovering the processes by which both physical and human events occur. All this within the happenstance of Kenya as a case scenario.

Climate Change, Regionalism and Development: Perspectives from East Africa
Written by: Boaz Adhengo

It is the greatest environmental challenge of the 21st Century. But what do we truly know about global climate change? And what can we do about it? Most of the world's top scientists agree that emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities such as industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion, and land-use changes are causing the earth to get warmer. Impacts of this warming may include damage to our coastal areas, accelerated rates of species loss, altered agricultural patterns, and increased incidences of infectious diseases. The effects of climate change -- and efforts to mitigate climate change -- could also have substantial economic ramifications. This book provides an introductory understanding on the Climate Change process and mitigation involvement around East Africa. It attempts to give a diplomatic analysis on how countries behave towards each other when addressing this issue that recognizes no boundaries, hence the development perspective of the book. The East African region is analyzed as a regime, with slight debate on how IGAD is working well towards this practice and awareness. Trade, agriculture and welfare of Kenyans and Tanzanians is discussed with relevance to the climate change issue. It was written for use by EEIU East Africa in its outreach to the EAC region which now comprises of five countries. We hope that the book still gains relevancy, and that in its editions to come, the improvements so made will make it relevant to other parts of the globe. The book begins with a secular emancipation of the human, written from a humanistic perspective; it is questionable by the religious scholars, yet understandable to all on key issue areas that recognize no affiliation. We all experience the climate change, whether we are humanists or religious in our livelihood.
