Lula of Brazil
Ex-President Lula of Brazil has a life that reads like a film script. The child of a dysfunctional family, his early life was one of poverty and chaos. In the 1970s, at a time when his country and continent were ruled by right-wing dictators, he switched from football-mad metalworker to militant trade union leader. Dissatisfied with the power of existing parties to bring about change, he founded the Partido dos Trabalhadores, the Workers Party. He was elected as president in 2002 and again in 2006. As a progressive leader in a globalizing world, he has walked a difficult tightrope in international relations with the US, Africa and the Middle East; and in trying to improve the lot of poor and black Brazilians at home. Lula of Brazil is an objective study of an unfinished political odyssey; the story of one man set against the contemporary history of a major emerging power. From climate change to inequality, Lula and his country are grappling with the greatest challenges facing the modern world.

Science of Life After Death
This book examines the best available empirical evidence regarding one of the most challenging and pervasive questions throughout ages, cultures, and religions: the survival of human consciousness after death. It begins with a contextual overview of belief in personal survival and refutes misguided historical and epistemological arguments against the notion of survival after death (e.g., irrational, purely religious, impossible to be addressed by science, that has been proved false by neuroscience). The book provides an overview of the scientific evidence regarding the survival of human consciousness after death, focusing on studies on mediumship, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and ...
Exploring Frontiers of the Mind-Brain Relationship
The conscious mind defines human existence. Many consider the brain as a computer, and they attempt to explain consciousness as emerging at a critical, but unspecified, threshold level of complex computation among neurons. The brain-as-computer model, however, fails to account for phenomenal experience and portrays consciousness as an impotent, after-the-fact epiphenomenon lacking causal power. And the brain-as-computer concept precludes even the remotest possibility of spirituality. As described throughout the history of humankind, seemingly spiritual mental phenomena including transcendent states, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and past-life memories have in recent years been well...
Revolution and Reaction

Entre o sonho e o poder
A trajetória de José Genoino, um homem que enfrentou todos os riscos em busca do sonho, está no livro Entre o Sonho e o Poder, da jornalista Denise Paraná, doutora em Ciências Humanas pela USP e pós-doutora pela Universidade de Cambridge. Genoino participou da Guerrilha do Araguaia, foi preso e torturado e conheceu momentos de glória na Câmara dos Deputados e no poder, com a vitória de Lula em 2002. Mas viu tudo se desmanchar no meio da gigantesca crise em que o PT mergulhou. Chega a confessar que teve pensamentos extremos, faz uma análise da história da esquerda brasileira e mostra-se inteiro no livro, exposto ao julgamento de sua geração. Ele não deixa de falar também sobre sua vida pessoal, como a existência de uma filha fora do casamento.
