Karamojo Safari
W.D.M. Bell - 1949
Walter Bell (1880-1954), known as Karamojo Bell, was a Scottish adventurer, big game hunter in East Africa, soldier, decorated fighter pilot, sailor, writer, and painter.Famous for being one of the most successful ivory hunters of his time, Bell was an advocate of the importance of shooting accuracy and shot placement with smaller calibre rifles, over the use of heavy large-bore rifles for big African game. He improved his shooting skills by careful dissection and study of the anatomy of the skulls of the elephants he shot. He even perfected the clean shooting of elephants from the extremely difficult position of being diagonally behind the target; this shot became known as the Bell Shot.Although chiefly known for his exploits in Africa, Bell also traveled to North America and New Zealand, sailed windjammers, and saw service in South Africa during the Boer War, and flew in the Royal Flying Corps in East Africa, Greece and France during World War I.

This book is a must for all those who wish to live a natural and healthy life.

The Content of Character: Ethical Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (sa)
Sheikh Al-Amin bin Ali Mazrui - 2005
These wise sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, collected here, are designed to do just that – to guide us to the very best in ourselves. Compiled by renowned East African scholar, Al-Amin ‘Ali Mazru’i, this collection brings together sayings that encourage good character, speaks to our conscience and our heart, and moves us to become better human beings.As a scholar, Shaykh Al-Amin Mazrui attempted to be a bridge between Islam and modernity. He argued that while Christianity became the vanguard of progress when it became more secular and less Christian, Islam was the vanguard of progress when it was more Islamic and less secular. According to Shaykh Al-Amin, progress among Muslims required not the abandonment of Islam but the recovery of the original spirit of Islamic enlightenment. Shaykh Al-Amin's choice of these favored sayings of the Prophet (pbuh) in "The Content of Character" --translated and introduced here by the well-known American Muslim scholar Hamza Yusuf -- was influenced by his effort to be a bridge--builder, especially between the values of tradition and the norms of modernity, between the wisdom of religion and the compassion of humanity.Contains original Arabic text of hadiths as well.

Productivity SuperHero: Become the Most Organised and Disciplined Person You Know in 30 Days or Less
Dan Luca - 2016
It seems rather obvious that if you change nothing, nothing changes. So this book is the antidote to an average result and life. This book is the staircase anyone can climb when they’ve decided they want to escape their prison of mediocrity. It’s also the book that will push you through the glass ceiling that is keeping you inside your comfort zone. WHY NOT LIVE A REMARKABLE AND FULFILLED LIFE? After working with several thousands of clients, I am now able to clearly identify the patterns that ignite SuperHero Productivity in people, as well as those that block any chance of great results in the least amount of time. As a consequence of my years in the Productivity trenches, I structured the book to follow these principles: 1. Bite sized information for a daily intake that is not overwhelming but easy to digest and implement right-away.
2. A 30-day approach that gives you enough time to implement and test ideas and see the changes happening in your own life.
3. World Class strategies, tools and exercises that are science based, time proven and client tested, so you don’t have to sort out what’s working from what’s not.
4. The optimum mix of structure, discipline and motivation over the course of 4+ weeks:
a) Monday to Friday strategies and tools for greater productivity
b) Saturday a recap of the main ideas and an evaluation form to help you get a clear picture of the progress you have made over the last 7 days
c) Sunday an inspirational story that is not giving you extra-work, but it’s lifting your mood and keeps you connected to the journey.
Very Important! My best advice to you is to sync as soon as possible with the rhythm of the book. For instance, read and implement Day 1 on a Monday, Day 6 on a Saturday, Day 7 on a Sunday and so on. Read one lesson every day and do the recommended work so you build your SuperHero Structure, while being highly motivated and disciplined. Let’s begin!
