Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor who brought electricity to his Malawian village. When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land. Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Trends in Malawian Literature's departure point is a brief examination of how Malawi's post-independence politics affected Malawi literary landscape and an assessment of the early missionaries contribution to early Malawian literature in the local languages. That done, it discusses messages in the early literature. The conclusion drawn is that the early literature in Malawi, like most African countries, was a potent mouth piece for Christian doctrine and western values. Against this background, Trends in Malawian Literature assesses the concerns of later writers, who although begin to move from the good versus evil dichotomy, still emphasize that socially and culturally one is either an (sic) initially and turns to be good later or vice versa".--Back cover.
