Crise Espiritual
Aceitar tudo é um esforço, entender tudo é uma tensão. G. K. Chesterton Todo cristão concordaria que a palavra "conversão" evoca o início de sua real experiência com Deus. Afinal, tornou-se comum ouvir o cristão afirmar que a conversão foi uma experiência de transformação. Ou, fazendo alusão ao significado da palavra no texto grego original, uma completa "mudança de rumo". Para mim, a conversão também significou mudança. Abriu caminho para um período em que, aparentemente, eu tinha encontrado a trilha definitiva para a alegria e o contentamento na vida espiritual. O propósito de Deus parecia estar se cumprindo satisfatoriamente em mim.
Parapolitics
An examination of the use of modernism in the twentieth-century battle for US hegemony, through the activities of the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom. Parapolitics confronts the contemporary fate of intellectual autonomy and artistic freedom by revisiting the use of modernism in the twentieth-century battle for US hegemony. It builds on a major exhibition at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (2017–18) that took as its starting point the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF)—an organization covertly funded by the Central Intelligence Agency in order to steer the Left away from its remaining commitment to communism. Paying particular attention to CCF activities in the non-European world during a period of decolonization and the Civil Rights Movement, Parapolitics assembles archival documentation from five continents alongside a selection of historical artworks to explore the context in which artists negotiated the framing and meaning of their work. A rich reference book for future researchers and everybody interested in the legacy of modernism, the publication also presents more than thirty newly commissioned contributions by contemporary artists and scholars.

Responses of Plants to Environmental Stresses, Second Edition, Volume II: Water, Radiation, Salt, and Other Stresses focuses on the effects of stresses on plants.

This text then describes water stress in plants, which arise either from an excessive or from an insufficient water activity in the plant's environment. Other chapters consider the resistance to drought stress of plants. This book discusses as well the effects of flooding, which replaces gaseous air by liquid water.
