Our returns policy for book purchases allows customers to cancel their orders for a full refund before the order is placed. Once the books are received, orders may be refunded in the form of store credit, provided the books are in mint condition. We kindly ask customers to inspect the received books promptly and contact our customer service within the specified timeframe for any concerns. This policy aims to ensure customer satisfaction and a hassle-free experience with our book purchases.

Our shipping policy emphasizes the efficiency of our book supply chain. As we do not keep books on the premises, we order them directly from publishers to offer a diverse selection. Upon placing an order, customers will receive an estimated time of arrival (ETA), typically ranging from 10 to 14 working days. Please note that ETA may vary, especially during high-demand periods such as the educational season. We appreciate your understanding and assure you that we are committed to providing timely and quality deliveries to enhance your reading experience.

Roger Chennells has a B.Com degree from the University of Stellenbosch, a Master of Law from the LSE and a PhD from the University of Lancashire. 

He has run his legal practise, Chennells Albertyn from Stellenbosch since 1980, specialising in labour, land, environmental and human rights law, with an overall emphasis on public interest law affecting rural communities, and indigenous communities in particular. 

Over the last decade his primary interest has returned to the dilemmas and choices of Africa, both at a policy and at a practical level. The association between the customs, values and lore of traditional communities and a respectful honouring of the earth, a theme captured by the environmental philosophy known as “Earth Jurisprudence.” 

Traditional knowledge systems, and their intrinsic values (including intellectual property) are continually undervalued in policy and deed. The fact that many African governments continue to ignore the wealth of wisdom and culture residing in their traditional communities, and continue to favour harmful extractive western economic modes, energises his current work and engagements. Roger lives in Somerset West with two border collies.
