Women, Land and Justice in Tanzania (African Edition)
KSh 2,000.00Recent decades have seen a wave of land law reforms across Africa, in the context of a “land rush” and land-grabbing. But how has this been enacted on the ground and, in particular, how have women experienced this? This book seeksto re-orientate current debates on women’s land rights towards a focus on the law in action. Drawing on the author’s ethnographic research in the Arusha region of Tanzania, it explores how the country’s land law reforms have impacted on women’s legal claims to land. Centring on cases involving women litigants, the book considers the extent to which women are realising their interests in land through land courts and follows the progression of women’s claims to land – from their social origins through processes of dispute resolution to judgment.
Dancer’s work explores three central issues. First, it considers the nature of women’s claims to land in Tanzanian family contexts,the value of land in an era of land reform and the ‘land rush’ across Africa, and the extent to which the social issues raised are addressed by Tanzania’s current laws and legal system. Secondly, it examines how agency and power relations between social and legal actors engaged in legal processes affect women’s access to justice and the progression of claims. Thirdly, it explores Tanzanian concepts of justice and rights and how women’s claims have been judged by land courts in practice.Helen Dancer is a lecturer in Law at the University of Brighton. She practised as a barrister in England specialising in family legal aid cases prior to training as a legal anthropologist. She is also a consultant for Future Agricultures at IDS, University of Sussex. Her areas of research interest include law and development, gender and land, and human rights and legal pluralism.

spotlight integrated science grade 9
KSh 815.00It is a learner’s book built for Grade 9 under the current Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya.
It’s meant to give a broad, foundational introduction to science — not just one branch (like biology or physics), but an integrated survey across multiple disciplines: biology, chemistry, physics, and health science.
🎯 Purpose & Educational Approach
The book aims to:
Help learners build scientific knowledge, problem-solving skills, and scientific literacy that they can apply in everyday life and future studies.
Encourage inquiry-based learning (asking questions, doing experiments, observing results, analyzing) — not just memorizing facts.
Promote critical thinking, creativity, and innovation, by having learners do experiments, investigations, projects, and real-life application tasks.
Integrate cross-cutting themes beyond science: environmental awareness, ICT (digital literacy), and even entrepreneurship, linking science to real-world contexts.
Offer a learner-friendly format: explanations illustrated with diagrams, charts, and photographs; plus a mix of class activities, homework projects, and self-assessment exercises.
✏️ What’s Inside — Typical Topics & Structure
While topics may vary slightly by syllabus edition, typical content includes:
Living things and their environment — nutrition in plants, photosynthesis, reproduction in plants, seed/fruit dispersal, ecology, energy flow, food chains/webs.
Basic biology and ecosystems — classification of organisms, interdependence of life, symbiosis, parasitism, saprophytism.
Fundamental chemistry — matter, mixtures, chemical reactions, maybe periodic table and basic chemical concepts (though detailed chemistry comes later). The integrated design means chemistry is introduced alongside biology and physics.
Basic physics/physical science — energy, matter, possibly concepts related to physical phenomena and forces (since Integrated Science spans physical world understanding).
Health science and everyday science applications — hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, environmental conservation, and using science knowledge for real-life wellbeing and sustainability.
Each section tends to include: explanations + illustrations, practical experiments or investigations, group work or project work, self-assessment or class assessment tasks.
📈 Why It Matters
It lays the foundation for STEM pathways at senior school level — giving learners strong grounding before they specialize.
It fosters a scientific mindset: curiosity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and evidence-based decision making — useful beyond school, in everyday life.
By integrating ICT, environment and entrepreneurship themes, it bridges school science with real-world challenges — preparing learners to apply science creatively and responsibly.

There are also “Do and Don’t” sections at the end of each chapter that provide guidance for handling the types of cases examined. This work will benefit not only experienced forensic pathologists, but also hospital pathologists who occasionally performs medicolegal autopsies; doctors in training; medical examiners; law enforcement personnel; crime scene investigators; attorneys; and fellows and students of the medical sciences.
