O Homem Por Trás Dos Livros: Américo Jacobina Laco
O homem por trás dos livros trata de uma brasiliana na sua mais expressiva forma, uma coleção de textos destinados a explicar o Brasil. Este é também um livro sobre um sujeito que dedicou a sua vida, em grande medida, a organizar brasilianas, entre elas a mais importante Brasiliana já editada no Brasil, a publicada pela Companhia Editora Nacional entre 1931 e 1993. Américo Jacobina Lacombe foi diretor dessa coleção durante cerca de 40 anos. Nesse período cuidou de todos os detalhes da coleção, da escolha dos autores ao tipo de letra da impressão dos livros, com um cuidado extremo com aquela que se tornaria conhecida como a mais importante “metáfora do Brasil”. O livro narra a história de Américo Jacobina Lacombe na direção desta coleção e das maneiras por meio das quais ele pôde, nesses livros, exercer, de forma integral, seu desejo de moldar uma escrita da Nação brasileira.
Britain and the Onset of Modernization in Brazil 1850-1914
This is a detailed study of British influence in Brazil as a theme within the larger story of modernization. The British were involved at key points in the initial stages of modernization. Their hold upon the import-export economy tended to slow down industrialization, and there were other areas in which their presence acted as a brake upon Brazilian modernization. But the British also fostered change. British railways provided primary stimulus to the growth of coffee exports, and since the British did not monopolize coffee production, a large proportion of the profits remained in Brazilian hands for other uses. Furthermore, the burgeoning coffee economy shattered traditional economic, social and political relationships, opening up the way for other areas of growth. The British role was not confined to economic development. They also contributed to the growth of 'a modern world-view'. Spencerianism and the idea of progress, for instance, were not exotic and meaningless imports, but an integral part of the transformation Brazil was experiencing.

Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000
In Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000: Exploring Unfinished, Unpublished, Unsuccessful Encyclopedic Projects, fourteen scholars turn to the archives to challenge the way the history of modern encyclopedism has long been told. Rather than emphasizing successful publications and famous compilers, they explore encyclopedic enterprises that somehow failed. With a combined attention to script, print, and digital cultures, the volume highlights the many challenges facing those who have pursued complete knowledge in the past three hundred years. By introducing the concepts of stranded and strandedness, it also provides an analytical framework for approaching aspects often overlooked in histories o...
