Periphery

A leading neuroscientist argues that the peripheral nervous system, long understood to play a key role in regulating basic bodily functions, also signals the onset of illness. The central nervous system, consisting of the brain and the spinal cord, has long been considered the command center of the body. Yet outside the central nervous system, an elaborate network of nerve cells and fibers extends throughout our bodies, transmitting messages between the brain and other organs. The peripheral nervous system, as it’s known, regulates such vital functions as heart rate, digestion, and perspiration and enables us to experience the barrage of sounds, tastes, smells, and other sensory informatio...

Reflexive Religion: The New Age in Brazil and Beyond

  • Publisher: BRILL

Reflexive Religion: The New Age in Brazil and Beyond examines the rise of alternative spiritualities in contemporary Brazil. Masterfully combining late modern theory with multi-site ethnographies of the New Age, it explains how traditional religion is being transformed by processes of reflexivity, globalization and individualism. The book unveils how the New Age has entered Brazil, was adapted to local Catholic, Spiritist and psychology cultures, and more recently how the Brazilian Nova Era re-enters transnational circuits of spiritual practice. It closely examines Paulo Coelho (spiritualist novels), Projectiology (astral projection) and Santo Daime (neo-shamanism) to understand the broader “new agerization” of Christianity and Spiritualism. Reflexive Religion offers a compelling account of how the religious field is being updated under late modern conditions.

Waldo Vieira: O Homem Por Trás Do Mito

As opiniões mais comuns a respeito de personagens como Waldo Vieria oscilam entre dois extremos. Para admiradores, é um mestre inigualável, modelo sobre-humano a ser seguido. Para opositores, é líder manipulador e excêntrico de uma seita maluca. Mas ambas opiniões são banais, superficiais. Elas se originam de um mesmo olhar etnocêntrico. É o olhar que vê o outro, o diferente, como estranho. Para os admiradores de Vieira, a sociedade em geral é o estranho, anômalo, e a conscienciologia (comunidade e doutrina ligadas ao mestre) é o familiar. Para os opositores de Vieira, a sociedade em geral é o que há de familiar, de normal , e a conscienciologia é o exótico, a aberração. ...

Natural Gas Legal Framework in Brazil

This book presents the ability to bring together a single work of scientific articles from the best minds of the Institute of Environment and Energy of the University of São Paulo to analyze the legal, regulatory, and technical architecture of the natural gas exploration chain in Brazil. The theme is current and relevant, considering that global conflicts are relevant to the energy issue and access to means of energy generation.Also, with the change of the Brazilian regulatory framework for the gas market, to promote its deconcentration and facilitate the entry of new entrants, knowledge of the current rules is of paramount importance for scholars on the subject. The deconcentration of the market will result in increased competitiveness and investment by the private sector in the gas sector, resulting in a reduction in fuel prices. Hope the readers enjoy it!
