Hospice in America
Josefina B. Magno, M.D was the First Executive Director of the National Hospice Organization of the United States (NHO). During her lifetime, hospices and palliative care services grew to over 8000 in 100 countries - many with her help. "Jo" Magno recalls for us the inspiring stories of her childhood, marriage, becoming a widow, and surviving cancer - all steps leading her to become a hospice physician. She remembers her first patients - Ruth, Florence, Eugene and others. She recounts the struggles and obstacles she overcame with the wonderful volunteers and staff and friends she worked with in Northern Virginia, Michigan, Texas, and around the world to pioneer changes in care for the terminally ill. Jo's Catholic faith sustained her and gave her courage in her work and personal life. She attributed any success to God and the inspiration of the saints she loved- Saint Josemaria Escriva and Saint Joseph - to whom she dedicated all her work. "What an amazing story of faith and accomplishment. On Capital Hospice's 30th anniversary and on behalf of the over 50,000 patients cared for, we celebrate and appreciate Jo's inspiration." -Malene Davis, President and CEO of Capital Hospice

Modernization and Political Actions in the Brazilian Amazon
This book offers an analysis of the territory of Barcarena, in the Brazilian Amazon. The author studies the land use and the implemented modernization policies that made it one of the richest cities of the state. The political system uses this territory as a resource to provide for the needs of a small circle of social agents. A system of conservative political actions enforces the process of modernization of the Baracena territory. Innovations in the Barcarena territory, such as the implementation of the aluminium factory Albras/Alunorte and the territorial configuration or public administration, lead to modernization simulations and artificial devices. The intended effect however is more about appearing to be modern, than actual modernization. The territorial use of Barcarena is aimed to protect the interests and privileges of the elite.
