Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.
Capoeira em Múltiplos Olhares
Os trabalhos demonstram que as práticas dos capoeiras não são singulares, atravessando grupos sociais diversos, revelando a sociedade brasileira. Talvez isso tenha capacitado os capoeiras, ou alguns capoeiras, a se tornarem capoeiristas, a lutarem contra as ações repressivas sustentadas pelo artigo 402 do código criminal de 1890 e transformarem a capoeira em luta marcial, esporte e educação física. Os representantes de diversos grupos sociais, praticantes da capoeira, se reuniram novamente. Já não era mais Camisa Preta, Manduca da Praia, Antonio Boca de Porco e Nascimento o Grande. A reunião objetivou colocar a capoeira entre as lutas internacionais,sendo ela a única nacional, construída no Brasil; essas foram as alegações dos principais protagonistas. Surgiram mestre Zuma, mestre Bimba, mestre Sinhozinho, mestre Pastinha, novas abordagens, novas fontes, novos objetos para um mundo dos capoeiristas que (re)inventavam uma tradição.
Mestres e capoeiras famosos da Bahia
Sem a lembrança dos antepassados, a capoeira não tem encanto. Nessa obra estão os nomes daqueles que merecem ficar grafitados na linha da nossa memória, pela importância que tiveram na história da capoeira baiana, a capoeira que conseguiu se espalhar pelo mundo. Este livro propõe-se a contar histórias e casos da capoeira da Bahia. Histórias e casos de gente que carrega consigo a ancestralidade, que faz andar de cabeça erguida e peito estufado todo aquele que se entende herdeiro de uma cultura que nunca se deixou subjugar.

Respiratory Endoscopy
This book provides a detailed overview of the latest innovations in respiratory endoscopy, from both diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives; each chapter focuses on one disease and the techniques for early diagnosis as well as treatment. It comprehensively covers treatment and procedures, including simultaneous X-ray fluoroscopy and its use during bronchoscopic procedures. This fast-developing technology is essential for the medical management of non-malignant and malignant diseases of the chest, especially lung cancer. Respiratory Endoscopy describes the cooperation between all the members of the healthcare team, and as such is a valuable resource not only for medical staff, but also for radiological technicians and nursing staff who contribute significantly in the care of the patients undergoing these invasive procedures. By promoting teamwork and providing practical know-how, it will improve the success and safety of respiratory endoscopy procedures.
Managing in a Time of Great Change
'It is not so very difficult to predict the future. It is only pointless...what is always far more important are fundamental changes that happened though no one predicted them or could possible have predicted them.' (quote taken from this book) It is these unpredictable and irreversible changes from the past, and their effect on the role of the executive which Peter Drucker examines in his latest book. The management of change is a subject which has been, undoubtedly, the principal preoccupation of management thinkers in the 1990s. Peter Drucker, the guru's guru, brings together a group of his own original essays and interviews on this vitally important topic. As ever, he provides invaluable food for thought for all executives and students of business and management.

Capoeira
Capoeira is simultaneously a dance, a fight, and a game. Created by the Africans brought to Brazil as slaves beginning in 1500, capoeira was forbidden by law but survived underground. When open practice was allowed in the 1930s it soon became very popular. Capoeira came to America around 1975, and has become widely recognized by dancers and martial artists. The author discusses capoeira's evolution from Brazilian street play into a way of life. The philosophy of capoeira, and the practical and spiritual benefits of this philosophy, are also discussed. Instructions and exercises in intermediate and advanced skills take up where the author's previous book left off. The book includes 100 black-and-white photos and illustrations.
