A obra “Educação Profissional e Tecnológica no Brasil: entre práticas e recursos educacionais” é o terceiro volume da série “Educação Profissional e Tecnológica no Brasil”, coletânea idealizada, produzida e organizada por docentes pesquisadores do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (ProfEPT) do Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais (IFMG). O livro aborda os Produtos Educacionais no contexto da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT), com o objetivo de repensar a organização dos espaços pedagógicos, as práticas e os recursos educacionais a partir da produção do programa, destacando a multiplicidade de produtos e de temáticas que dialogam e atravessam a EPT no Brasil. Trata-se, portanto, de boa oportunidade para a compreensão do que é o Produto Educacional no contexto da EPT, e ainda de conhecer e/ou refletir sobre aspectos desse campo educacional.
Aprendendo a conviver. O título do e-book foi inspirado em um dos quatro pilares estabelecidos no relatório para a UNESCO da Comissão Internacional sobre Educação para o século XXI. De acordo com o documento Educação: um Tesouro a Descobrir, organizado por Jacques Delors, “para poder dar resposta ao conjunto das suas missões, a Educação deve organizar-se em torno de quatro aprendizagens fundamentais que, ao longo de toda a vida, serão [...] os pilares do conhecimento” (DELORS, 1998, p.89). Um desses pilares – e a inspiração para o batismo do e-book - é Aprender a viver juntos, aprender a viver com os outros.

Complete Enlightenment is the first authoritative translation and commentary on The Sutra of Complete Enlightenment, a central text that shaped the development of East Asian Buddhism and Ch'an (Chinese Zen). The text is set in the form of a transcription of discussions between the Buddha and the twelve enlightened beings(bodhisattvas), who question him on all aspects of spiritual practice. This new translation preserves all the liveliness and nuance of the text in the original Chinese. The sutra's ancient wisdom is brought to life by the commentaries of Master Sheng Yen, one of the most revered living Buddhist masters in the Ch'an lineage. This is truly a manual for the spiritual journey toward complete enlightenment, providing the key to the deep, poetic, and practical meanings of the scripture.
Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.

An English translation of Genet’s classic symbolic drama, first performed in Paris in 1959. France’s master of the absurd explores racial prejudice and stereotypes using the framework of a play within a play. The New York Times hailed The Blacks as “one of the most original and stimulating evenings Broadway or Off Broadway has to offer,” while Newsweek raved that Genet’s plays “constitute a body of work unmatched for poetic and theatrical power.” “Genet’s investigation of the color black begins where most plays of this burning theme leave off. . . . This vastly gifted Frenchman uses shocking words and images to cry out at the pretensions and injustices of our world.” —Howard Taubman, The New York Times
What will it be like to live in Lagos 100 years after Nigeria gained independence from the British? In 2010, eight writers came together to contribute stories to an anthology on fictional / futuristic takes on the city of Lagos via a workshop tagged LAGOS_2060, conceived to commemorate Nigeria's golden jubilee. The anthology that grew out of the workshop is telling in the different versions of the future it foretells.
