O que é um livro? Um livro, na fria definição dos dicionários, não passa de páginas encadernadas contendo textos e imagens. Prefiro a definição dos poetas. Como diz Mário Quintana, poeta mor: “Os livros não mudam o Mundo, quem muda o Mundo são as pessoas. Os livros só mudam as pessoas”. Daí a responsabilidade de quem escreve. A pretensão deste livro não é tão grande, diferente do “Cérebro” dos desenhos animados não acordamos hoje com o intuito de usar a nossa criatividade como sempre a usamos: para “conquistar o mundo”.

Debating civilisations offers an up-to-date evaluation of the re-emerging field of civilisational analysis, tracing its main currents and comparing it to rival paradigms such as Marxism, globalisation theory and postcolonial sociology. The book suggests that civilisational analysis offers an alternative approach to understanding globalisation, one that focuses on the dense engagement of societies, cultures, empires and civilisations in human history. Building on Castoriadis’s theory of social imaginaries, it argues that civilisations are best understood as the products of routine contacts and connections carried out by anonymous actors over the course of long periods of time. It illustrates this argument through case studies of modern Japan, the Pacific and post-Conquest Latin America (including the revival of indigenous civilisations), exploring discourses of civilisation outside the West within the context of growing Western imperial power.

Proteins are still gaining importance in the pharmaceutical world, where they are used to improve our arsenal of therapeutic drugs and vaccines and as diagnostic tools. Proteins are different from "traditional" low-molecular-weight drugs. As a group, they exhibit a number of biopharmaceutical and formulation problems. These problems have drawn considerable interest from both industrial and aca demic environments, forcing pharmaceutical scientists to explore a domain previ ously examined only by peptide and protein chemists. Biopharmaceutical aspects of proteins, e.g., low oral bioavailability, have been extensively investigated. Although all possible conventional routes of ad ministration ha...
