This book provides an authoritative history of the Brazilian army from the armys overthrow of the monarchy in 1889 to its support of the coup that established Brazils first civilian dictatorship in 1937. The period between these two events laid the political foundations of modern Brazila period in which the army served as the core institution of an expanding and modernizing Brazilian state. The book is based on detailed research in Brazilian, British, American, and French archives, and on numerous interviews with surviving military and civilian leaders. It also makes extensive use of hitherto unused internal army documents, as well as of private correspondence and diaries. It is thus able to shed new light on the armys personnel and ethos, on its ties with civilian elites, on the consequences of military professionalization, and on how the army reinvented itself after the collapse of its command structure in the crisis of 1930a reinvention that allowed the army to become the backbone of the post-1937 dictatorship of Getulio Vargas.

There are situations in life where we need to look back and learn from our mistakes to build a future of which we will be proud and satisfied. We must believe in ourselves, because with effort, persistence and confidence in our results, we are able to reach places we never dreamed of. In I've Stopped Drinking, Now What?, Caio Gurgel tells readers what inspired him to write this book. How he learned that it's not necessary to wait for tomorrow to take the first step towards a healthier life, because the right time will always be now. He shares the obstacles he encountered along the path and how he could see that, after his change in habits, the dif¬ficult moments could have been even worse with the presence of the drink - which is why he decided to take a step towards a different life. Today he can find a happiness he has never experienced before, and he decided to share his story so that more people can find a healthier, happier and longer-lasting path of life.
This book traces the academic footprint of Hanns Ullrich. Thirty contributions revolve around five central topics of his oeuvre: the European legal order, competition law, intellectual property, the regulation of new technologies, and the global market order. Acknowledging him as a trailblazer, the book aims to capture how deeply Hanns Ullrich has influenced contemporaries and subsequent generations of scholars. The contributors re-iterate the path-breaking patterns of his teachings, such as his contemplation of intellectual property as embedded in competition, the necessity of balancing private and public interests in intellectual property law, the policies of market integration, and the peculiar relationship of technological advancement and protectionism.
