Tomorrow Is Too Late
In Tomorrow Is Too Late, Grace Maddrell collects testimonies of activism and hope from young climate strikers, from Brazil and Burundi to Pakistan and Palestine. These youth activists are experiencing the reality of the climate crisis, including typhoons, drought, flood, fire, crop failure, and ecological degradation, and are all engaged in the struggle to bring these issues to the centre of the world stage. Their strength and determination show the urgency of their cause, and their understanding that the generations above them have failed to safeguard their environment. With contributors aged between eight and twenty-five, this is an inspiring collection of essays from the most vital generation of voices in the global struggle for climate justice, and offers a manifesto for how you can engage, educate, and inspire change for a more hopeful future.

The Politics of Survival
Winner, 2024 Anna Julia Cooper Outstanding Publication Award, Association for the Study of Black Women in Politics Poor Black women who benefit from social welfare are marginalized in a number of ways by interlocking systemic racism, sexism, and classism. The media renders them invisible or casts them as racialized and undeserving “welfare queens” who exploit social safety nets. Even when Black women voters are celebrated, the voices of the poorest too often go unheard. How do Afro-descendant women in former slave-holding societies survive amid multifaceted oppression? Gladys L. Mitchell-Walthour offers a comparative analysis of how Black women social welfare beneficiaries in Brazil and ...
Os Meninos Nunca Morrem
"E a estrada cheia de sonhos espalhados na berma, pedacos de ti, pedacos de vida desunidos, uma perna caindo do lencol, um bracinho branco escorregando dos dedos sem vida.... Pedacos de terra caiada de sangue a escorrerem da boca e da bola.... E a bola, cheia de lagrimas amarelas da cor da terra castanha, deixando cair uma perna e um bracinho sem vida.... E eu, ao lado do lencol sem branco, agarrando o teu bracinho pendente sem vida, sem dedos, passo-te a mao na cabeca adormecida e sussurro-te ao ouvido: Os putos nunca caem, os meninos nunca morrem...

Ecological Restoration
Ecological restoration, although a relatively new endeavour compared to other disciplines, has gained significant momentum during the last decade as accelerating global change becomes more apparent. It is now widely accepted by the scientific community that to avoid further devastating effects of climate change and biodiversity loss, humanity must determinedly move more to protect and restore natural ecosystems. Many restoration efforts of the past have been ad hoc, site and situation-specific and have often failed to achieve desired outcomes, but over the last decade, many countries are allocating increasingly significant amounts of financial investment towards restoration with the goal of ...
The Brain Surgery Diaries
This is a book about love, grace and surrender. In the Brain Surgery Diaries, the author shares her ways of integrating psychology and spirituality through her own self-discovery journey. The book discusses ways of letting go of fear and victim-mentality and taking responsibility for all that happens to you. Since her near-death experience Fernanda strongly believes that on a soul level you chose where you incarnate, who your family is and the challenges that you will go through in this lifetime because you want to evolve and grow. She believes in both free-will and determinism, and that 'evolution does not stop at opposable thumbs!'The book describes how it is easy to chose love over fear yet we tend to get socially brain-washed towards fear-mentality. This book is recommended for all the rebels, the survivors or anyone who needs a little push to follow their joy. Fernanda Barros BA(Hons); MSc; MBPps; MBACP(Accred); UKCP(Reg) is a Spiritual Counselling Psychologist and existential phenomenological counsellor and psychotherapist.
Life and Death in the Silver
"Life and Death in the Silver" is centered on the saga of generations of a family involved in historical episodes taking place in the south of Brazil. Biographical excerpts of four military characters—“The Colonel,” “The Captain,” “The Marshal,” and “The Major”—become aligned with the unfolding of historical events described by people in the military and civilians, revolutionaries or legalists, who were actually present at the time. Episodes in Brazilian history are addressed in the book, such as the “Legality Campaign.” the “Ragamuffin (Farroupilha) Revolution,” the “Paraguay War,” the “Proclamation of the Republic,” the “Federalist Revolution,” the “Contested Territory Campaign,” and so on. Many facts mentioned are based on primary sources, such as the living memory of relatives of those who once lived and those who now live in the Silver River basin. It is ultimately a book about rescuing historical events told by generations of a family struggling for order and freedom.
