In the course of work as an Animal Husbandry Extension worker, Namukolo Mukutu often had requests from intending farmers on how to start a beef farm, where to farm, and how to farm. Already established farmers, on the other hand, also often approached him for advice with specific problems, usually relating to "how to". The notes compiled in this book are intended for both these groups of farmers. The message or technologies in the first part (Chapters 1-27) are clear and easy to understand. This, however, is what is commonly taught in schools of animal husbandry. It is essentially the easier part. The more difficult part, and what is not taught in schools of animal husbandry has to do with how the cattle interact with their environment to assure sustainable availability of forage on which they depend. When this relationship is properly understood and put into practice, cattle productivity is enhanced and even continue to increase. Namukolo Mukutu makes this the cornerstone of the book. Sustainable animal husbandry systems are recommended for all soil and vegetation types of Zambia. The notes, provide a very simple and practical way in which the starting point of beef farming, the estimation of carrying capacity can be carried out, out of which the herd size and systems of animal husbandry suitable for the area can be designed and implemented.

If you want to get the taste of all the poetic forms in just one bite, then reading this book is worth it. You can get a taste of all the forms of poetry, which are said as 'Colors of Poetry'. The reason why every dark object in the absence of sunlight seems black is not due to its lack of colors. The colors are very much there, but light is required to make them felt. These colors should be duly patterned on a body that its every single color should make the myriad shades of life. The need and importance of colors should not be ignored. One must need to work so colorfully that even its lightest colors should not get faded due to the Midas touch of our unpredictable tendencies and moods. Live in the present. Forget your past. Learn lessons from it. The only thing you could do for your future is to consolidate your defences in the present so that you don't need to worry much about the future. See the shades of life in every color. See its astounding behavior which puts it off from the worldly things. Colors are courageous to leave sympathies' in our minds. Like colors, we need to be the strongest by the essence of deep knowledge and thoughts; believing that hard work is the only core value to achieve success. Then, no leaps and bounds will deter you from being the stakeholder of our dreams; to unearth the best of all qualities in yourself. So that you can see the new 'you' in yourself.

Biography of Malvika Iyer b. 1989, a bilateral amputee and social worker in comic strip form.
This book heralds a new line in thinking why the illiteracy rate has been maintained at the same level for decades. It's easy to blame the child as if he were the problem, and not the failure of instruction. There is a basic foundation for teaching that has to be in place for learning to occur. For learning to occur one needs to master the first R - Reading without which the other two R's (wRiting and aRithmetics) are difficult to attain.The bottom line is that illiteracy has remained the same throughout the years because of wrong teaching methods. Once a kid has already disengaged because of being confused, fun and encouragement and motivation will not work. This is why illiteracy level has not come down in more than 30 years. Educators have tried everything except tackling the root cause of why kids disengage from learning to read in the first place. This book tells exactly why kids shut down from learning to read. This book tells you how to prevent kids from disengaging from learning to read. When ideas from this book are implemented illiteracy will be eradicated.
