Cattle in the Backlands
Brazil has the second-largest cattle herd in the world and is a major exporter of beef. While ranching in the Amazon—and its destructive environmental consequences—receives attention from both the media and scholars, the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul actually host the most cattle. A significant beef producer in Brazil beginning in the late nineteenth century, the region served as a laboratory for raising cattle in the tropics, where temperate zone ranching practices do not work. Mato Grosso ranchers and cowboys transformed ranching’s relationship with the environment, including the introduction of an exotic cattle breed—the Zebu—that now dominates Latin American trop...

Francisco Solano López and the Ruination of Paraguay
The first serious biography of Francisco Solano L pez in English for decades, this richly researched book tells the dramatic story of Paraguay's most notorious ruler. Despite the heroic stature he gained after his death, L pez was a monumentally flawed leader who made the disastrous decisions in 1864 and 1865 to invade Paraguay's powerful neighbors, Brazil and Argentina, initiating the most devastating interstate conflict in South American history. Drawing on a trove of primary sources, James Schofield Saeger offers a critical analysis of L pez's personality and often-irrational persecution of enemies, adherents, and siblings. He traces L pez's preparation for high public office, work habits, control of his nation and army, propaganda, and execution. Concluding with an examination of L pez's posthumous rehabilitation, Saeger shows how the tyrant who ruined his nation became its most highly honored hero, crowning a campaign by revisionist publicists from 1870-1936, and a useful symbol for later authoritarians. Still largely unchallenged in Paraguay today, this glorification of a martial president is definitively put to rest in Saeger's meticulous study.
Sobre portos nordestinos: muralhas chinesas, ancoradouros soterrados e canais da discórdia, 1869 - 1934
Autor: Yuri Simonini “A concepção de portos constitui, confessadamente, um dos ramos mais difíceis da engenharia civil. Para fazê-lo, o engenheiro, claro, avalia por si mesmo as informações derivadas de experiências passadas; mas, identificar perfeitamente, no entanto, as peculiaridades físicas de diferentes localidades, isso raro ou inexistente”.
