Download or read book Colonial Transformation of Kenya written by Robert L. Tignor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes an entirely new approach to the evolution of cities and of societies in premodern periods. Refining the theory advanced in his earlier study of China and Japan, Gilbert Rozman examines the development of Russia over several centuries with emphasis on the period immediately preceding the Industrial Revolution. He makes possible comparison of urbanization in five countries (including England and France as well as Russia) and develops a systematic framework for analyzing cities of varying size. Treatment of Russia includes a history of urban development prior to 1750, an examination of late eighteenth-century social structure as it related to cities, and a study of regional variations in urbanization. The author presents a wealth of information until now unavailable in English. Since this information is provided in a format similar to that used in the earlier book, data on Russia can readily be placed in broad perspective. Comparisons with the other countries show that Russia's development was less slow than has been supposed. Separate sections on England and France supply estimates of the number of settlements at each level of their urban hierarchies. Originally published in 1976.

The word catechism means "instruction" - this book will serve as the standard for all future catechisms. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what she celebrates (the Sacraments), what she lives (the Commandments), and what she prays (the Lord's Prayer), the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith.

Download or read book The role of colonial chiefs in Kenya written by Stephen Irungu and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject History - Africa, grade: 5.0, Mount Kenya University, course: M.A history, language: English, abstract: This work analyses the role of colonial chiefs in the development of Kenya. Therefore, their contributions to the different sectors of the republic have been evaluated. The work starts with an overview of colonial chiefs and ways on how they were appointed are described. Then an in-depth review of their different contributions, such as their contribution to the security of the country and their help to transform the education system in the country, is given. From the report it becomes clear that, despite their collaboration with the British colonizers, the traditional chiefs played an integral role as they mobilized communities to bring development in different sectors. Reports clearly show how colonial chiefs mobilized communities to develop health facilities, contract roads and engage in environmental conservation. Colonial chiefs in Kenya form a strong part of the country`s history, as they are the ones who facilitated the operation of the colonial regime in the country. Though they have been criticized as collaborators by most of the existing historical studies, they are also credited in contributing towards the sustainable development of Kenya. Their governance played a significant role, particularly in the maintenance of high security standards, promotion of education and growth of the agricultural sector.
