Published on 25th November 2011Foreword We are now ready to release issue 47, consisting of 12 full papers and two short communications all of them peer reviewed. We have also featured a book review and 4 profiles of scientists who have dedicated part of their valuable time to support AJFAND. We have also a link to the web page created for the late Prof Wangari Maathai, and another link to my personal tribute honoring the late Chris Dowswell. The picture of flamingoes is to send warm greetings of peace and appreciation to each one
of my friends who eased my grief through messages of encouragement. I value each one of you. Some of these messages
are carried on these web pages. |

New!Wangari honored posthumously
| Wangari Mathaai- Keeping the candle burning AJFAND issue 46 [Volume 11 No. 5 (2011)] was dedicated to Kenya's icon, Nobel Laureate the late Hon Prof Wangari Muta Mathaai, who died on September 25, 2011 at 71 after a long and brave battle with ovarian cancer. Wangari was accorded a state funeral, only the 3rd person in the young history of independent Kenya ( Kenya got its independence from the British in 1963). The responses were amazing, and demonstrated a deep connection between Wangari and a multitude of fans and admirers across the globe, many of whom had not even met her. Oh yes, her light will keep burning for sure. We at AJFAND have decided to create a special web page to carry some of the messages we received in her honor. You can click on... ...to connect with her. |
