Social Backpack - East Africa
In this session I would like to recommend books I have read in recent times and that somehow contribute to the discussion. I would like to slowly write reviews and comments on each one of them, but for now I'll put titles and authors. All books cited here I read from the cover to the end - even those which were not fantastic - but I recommend reading it all anyway. Some of them are worth only a quick look, reading only the chapters that you find interesting.
These books are part of my personal experience over the last months of research and exposure, but can surely influence others. As I write reviews, I will update this page with links.

Note: Do you know any review, post or comment on any of those books that is worth exposing here? Send the link to me and I put here .... You can also send me suggestions of other readings
