I¿ve got a little gift for you. I`ve kept it all this time. It¿s a funny little something that I wish was mine.For young children it begins with the sounds of words, and the delight of those sounds. Sounds come before meaning. Delight comes before sense. Silly nonsense turns into fun.These little poems sound good read aloud by an adult or older child, as their true audience is children who have not yet learned to read or are just learning. Simplicity reigns, and the rhythms are often based on familiar chants or nursery rhymes, making it easy for those reading aloud to pick it up.Nonsense poems are a much-neglected genre, but survive in our nursery rhymes, and in the work of some rare poets like A A Milne, who is an inspiration for this work. They are trickier than they look, as they can be as silly as, but not stupid. They can be surreal and bizarre, but not scary, at least too scary. They can allude to situations, but must not attempt to teach. And above all, they have to work as little songs, almost, with fun rhymes to hold them together.

Extinction Rebellion: A Tribute powerfully realizes the harsh reality of contemporary climate change. Spotlighting the vital issue of our times, the poems here lyrically explore the complexities of what it means to live on the brink of environmental ruin. Extinction Rebellion: A Tribute is rooted in the twilight years when the living faces death and the dead look back. The personal and the global come together in an upsurge of hope, despair and rebellion.

Dissemination of legume technologies to Sub-Saharan farmers by NGOs and research institutes has stimulated farmers to grow grain legumes, thereby providing farmers with substantial harvest and income. During the second quarter of 2012, N2AFRICA a project that provides farmers in Africa with technologies to grow grain legumes extended their project activities to Sierra Leone. N2AFRICA provided Sierra Leonean small scale farmers with the following grain legumes; groundnuts, cowpeas and soybeans, because these legumes are rich in protein and have the ability to fix nitrogen to the soil. After production some of these legumes are consumed by the farmers and the rest is sold. Therefore N2AFRICA decided to research the value chains of the mentioned legumes from inputs to the final consumer. This research investigates the value chains of the groundnut, cowpea and soybean in Sierra Leone.
