The country's geography is a study in extremes with Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa, bordered by three of the largest lakes on the continent. The climate ranges from tropical along the coasts to temperate in the highlands with the snow topped peaks towering over everything. History: Historically, Tanzania was a commercial center for the slave, spice and ivory trades. Today, Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world with much of its economy depending on agriculture, with some fishing and mining. The economy has been destabilized by oil shocks, the collapse of commodity prices, drought, breakup of the East African Community and the Uganda war. However, over the past few years there has been economic growth due to donor support and solid macroeconomic policies, which can be expected to continue.

PLAN YOUR AFRICAN TRIP WHILE YOU ARE HERE AFRICA CORPORATE TRAVEL Tell us about your African experience in Kenya - Kenya is a country which only needs three reasons to describe how beautiful it is and why it should be visited, which would inevitably make each and every discerning visitor reading this article want to partake in a true and genuine African experience. However, on the other hand we can only feel excited about the tourism opportunities and would like to share with our guests a little more than that. Wildlife Watching and Nature Safaris: Lets begin with the word "Safari" used on a day-to-day basis when wanting to describe a wildlife related itinerary in Africa and even other parts of the world; the word stems from the Kiswahili or Swahili language, whose linguistic birth is in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar), making the region an original and authentic African wildlife safari destination as rightfully described by the early European Hunters. Kenya is a country where nature has been exceedingly gracious. Within one country you can travel through lush green forests, deserts, equatorial rainforests, montane vegetation, mountains and witness thousands of wildlife, birdlife and insectlife species being supported and sustained within the respective ecology. Furthermore and coincidently, Kenya also boasts the big five wildlife above the ground as well as the big five below the Indian Ocean waters.

Extractions: Zanzibar doorway in Stone Town Zanzibar , island in the United Republic of Tanzania, located in the Indian Ocean about 30 km (about 20 mi) off the East African coast. Zanzibars sister island of Pemba lies an equal distance to the northeast. Zanzibar extends 85 km (53 mi) north to south and 43 km (27 mi) east to west and has an area of about 1660 sq km (about 640 sq mi). Covered with luxuriant tropical plant life, Zanzibar is a low-lying coral island with elevations no higher than 120 m (400 ft). Temperatures average between 24º and 27º C (75º and 81º F) throughout the year and are tempered by ocean breezes. Zanzibar's average annual rainfall, influenced by Indian Ocean monsoon wind patterns, is more than 1520 mm (more than 60 in). The islands once prevalent forests have largely been replaced by cultivated crops, including cloves, bananas, and coconuts. Animal life is limited to small mammals and abundant birds. woman in Stone Town The population of Zanzibar in 1995 was an estimated 456,934. The port city of Zanzibar is the islands principal urban center and is located on Zanzibars sheltered western shore. Smaller Zanzibari towns include Chwaka on the eastern shore, Kizimkazi in the south, and Mkokotoni in the northwest. Beit el Ajaib a Palace for the Sultan More Photos of Stone Town Zanzibars principal inhabitants are black Africans, descendants of the indigenous Hadimu, Tumbatu, and Pemba peoples. These were Bantu-speaking peoples who immigrated to Zanzibar from the nearby mainland, drawn by the islands fertile soils and abundant water sources. The indigenous peoples later became known collectively as Shirazi to distinguish them from more recent black African arrivals. By the 10th century Arabs from Oman and other parts of southwest Asia had settled on the island. The Arabs formed Zanzibar's political, social, and economic elite until the islands 1964 revolution forced out most of the Arab population. Sunni Islam is the religion of most of Zanzibars inhabitants. A small Indian community that includes believers in Shia Islam as well as Hindus and other religious groups is also present. Swahili is the primary language of island residents, with Arabic and English holding lesser influence.

Extractions: About the Digital Collection: History of Fathom Technical Information Home Browse the Archive ... Search by Keyword Lost Tongues and the Politics of Language Endangerment by Salikoko S. Mufwene Question: What do we mean by language endangerment? Salikoko Mufwene: We talk about language endangerment more or less in the way that ecologists speak of species endangerment. There are parts of the world in which the local physical ecology has changed to the point where some indigenous species cannot survive or thrive in them. Likewise, the economic and social ecologies of some indigenous languages have changed to the point where those languages can no longer thrive. The speakers are shifting to other languages as vernaculars. I think this is a technical term that I should explain. A vernacular is the kind of language that people use for day-to-day interaction, as when they communicate with their friends or their relatives. Question: Would the way that you and I are speaking now be called a vernacular? Mufwene: Well, I don't know, and the reason why I don't know is because I'm a non-native speaker and my registers don't vary a lot. Whereas for native speakers, there are times when communication is not particularly personal, and that more formal variety of communication is not the vernacular. But when people are fully relaxed and can use basic terms, terms that could sometimes be prohibited from formal settingsthat's the vernacular.

Extractions: Editorial Staff This month, we talked with Gebregeorgis Yohannes, a California-based publisher of African-themed books, about the past and current state of publishing in his home continent and the influence that technology and the Internet might begin to exert. Yohannes is currently a senior librarian at the San Francisco Public Library. His company, African Sun, has published several books, including: "The History of the Galla (Oromo) of Ethiopia," "The ABGD Ethiopian Alphabet: Amharic-English for Beginners," and "Yetint Mastawesha" (in Amharic, a collection of essays, poetry and letters). Yohannes plans to expand his publishing efforts in Ethiopia, his native country. In the months to come, he will continue to report on Africa for The Book & The Computer. I am originally from Ethiopia. I came to the United States in 1982. I went to school here. I did my bachelor's in English literature, and my master's in library and information science. While I was in library school, I did a special project in publishing and book development in Africa. And that's probably my first initiative in understanding publishing in Africa. And I did this deliberately because of my personal interest in publishing. I always wanted to go back to Africa. So that's how I was involved in African publishing.

Extractions: Indigenous Crop Protection Practices in Sub-Saharan East Africa Database of Natural Crop Protectant Chemicals (DNCPC) Products Used, or With Potential Use, for Crop Pest Control in Sub-Saharan East Africa et. al. , 1992). To be classified as beneficials, these products should come from plants that grow well on poor quality land, i.e. do not compete with crop land, they should not act as weeds, they should not support crop pests, and the products should be easily prepared. Some degree of success in the commercial production of these materials has been attained, e.g. rotenone, pyrethrum, nicotine, and neem. Usually, however, these are quite expensive when purchased on the open market. Cheaper when on-farm produced. Commercial plantations are not without pest problems. Tephrosia, for example, suffers from insects, nematodes, damping off, and problems with seed production. Even pyrethrum plants suffer from nematode problems in the foliage. Recently, neem has been hit with severe root rot problems. Further, identification of the active compound(s) in these plants is illusive and very expensive to pursue.
