Carnival Kingdom
The first Christians lived out a new social order and envisaged the world anew. Divisions, inequalities and injustices would be overturned as the world would reflect a new kind of reign. In the Kingdom of God, the powerful are brought low, while the oppressed are raised up; the hungry are filled with good things, while the rich are sent empty away; the wolf lives with the lamb, and the leopard lies down with the goat; the slave becomes the son, the master is the servant of all and the meek will inherit the earth. This same upside-down Kingdom is echoed in the Carnival festivals of the Medieval era, which both parodied the oppressive structures of their day and dramatically portrayed an alternative reality. In this book, twelve scholars, theologians, and social activists from around the world take up the Carnival's call for justice and a renewed society, and portray in their own contexts the Kingdom of God coming in justice and fullness of life - the coming of the Carnival Kingdom."

Technology and Globalisation
This book examines the role of experts and expertise in the dynamics of globalisation since the mid-nineteenth century. It shows how engineers, scientists and other experts have acted as globalising agents, providing many of the materials and institutional means for world economic and technical integration. Focusing on the study of international connections, Technology and Globalisation illustrates how expert practices have shaped the political economies of interacting countries, entire regions and the world economy. This title brings together a range of approaches and topics across different regions, transcending nationally-bounded historical narratives. Each chapter deals with a particular topic that places expert networks at the centre of the history of globalisation. The contributors concentrate on central themes including intellectual property rights, technology transfer, tropical science, energy production, large technological projects, technical standards and colonial infrastructures. Many also consider methodological, theoretical and conceptual issues.
Resgate tipográfico
O assunto deste livro é a prática do resgate tipográfico no design de tipos. Objetiva-se a elaboração de um referencial teórico-metodológico para o estudo e a produção de fontes digitais.

Realidades Paralelas: Los Dos Pilares
La pugna entre los grandes poderes que rigen el universo ha escrito una historia llena de horrores, transmitida por generaciones como un eco indescifrable, un secreto susurrado en la lengua de seres incomprendidos que reclaman potestad sobre el lugar al que fueron desterrados, pero que no pueden habitar. Por ahora. Lejos de ese conflicto, una joven desorientada debe hacer frente a sus propios demonios en una batalla tan cobarde como solitaria, que podrÃa llevarla a perder mucho más que la razón. Mientras que en Lidermia, Arthur intenta conectarse con un mundo que aunque se asemeja demasiado a la Tierra, carece de lo único que de verdad extraña de ella: sus afectos. Dos Pilares sostienen el Portal, a através del cual el Dios ünico mantiene su vÃnculo con los humanos y el Enemigo finalmente lo ha descubierto, y, junto con ello, la manera de regresar.
Comic Sans: The Biography of a Typeface (The ABC of Fonts Series)
A compact and charming history of the font we love to hate by the New York Times best-selling author of Just My Type. Since its improvised creation at Microsoft in the mid-1990s, Comic Sans has become one of the most used and talked-about typefaces of the digital age. The subject of April Fools pranks and endless internet discourse, it has spawned a movement to ban it, inspired revivals and spinoffs, and continues to be widely promoted by educators. In this delightful history, best-selling author Simon Garfield tells the story of how Comic Sans emerged from speech bubbles on educational software to become one of the most recognized—and reviled—typefaces on earth. He considers how the computer transformed type into something that anyone could use and have an opinion on, explores how new fonts emerge with changing times and technology, and meets die-hard Comic Sans adherents and haters. He concludes the book by asking the unimaginable: Could Comic Sans now be the coolest typeface ever made?
