Books/abstracts


Belgium
1. Evolution is a Science not Religion!
This book provides a brief historical developments of evolutionary biology and builds on these ideas of Darwin to the modern achievements in the eras of Genomics. Furthermore, it clarifies  the misconception of  evolutionary biology and try to compelled readers that Evolutionary biology is a Science not a western based doctrine as most Ethiopian and most people in the west perceive it.
It also address the use of evolutionary biology to full understanding of our environment and role of human as part of the natural-part of our universe in broad terms. But  towards the end chapters it tries to zoom in into the genetics of human and origins of the hominids.
2. Dreamland Lingo Academy "English-Tigrigna Visual Dictionary"
"A picture speaks a thousand words goes the old Chinese adage" and it is generally believed that the use of pictures is proven to aid understanding and the retention of information. Working on this principle, this highly-illustrated English–Tigrigna bilingual dictionary: "Visual Dictionary of Biology" presents a large range of useful biology vocabulary in a series of books 1 through 4 from level one to advanced levels to aid the Tigrigna speakers to learn English. I believe this will be of great help to those who want to learn the language in way to interact themselves with the Tigrigna speaking society as a tourist as well.
