Atlântico
Organizado pelos historiadores Francisco Carlos Teixeira da Silva, Francisco Eduardo Alves de Almeida — professores e pesquisadores da Escola de Guerra Naval — e Karl Schurster — professor da Universidade de Pernambuco —, este livro é uma compilação de estudos que, da Antiguidade Clássica até o século XXI, abordam de forma pormenorizada aspectos históricos, políticos e militares do oceano Atlântico. E por que o Atlântico? O oceano, com seus 106.400.000 quilômetros, deveria, conforme os manuais de geografia, "separar" a Europa das Américas e estas da África. Contudo, desde a Antiguidade, os nautas sabem que oceanos não separam; na verdade, unem terras e gentes. Com o Atlântico não é diferente. Após a longa hegemonia do Mar Mediterrâneo, o Atlântico tornou-se, por quase mil anos, a rota dos povos. Desde a conquista árabe, os jovens estados da Europa Ocidental e seus mercadores e missionários entenderam que o oceano era a única via livre de navegação.

Polo in Argentina
This work--the first of its kind in more than sixty years--covers polo in Argentina, from its beginnings in the 1870s to the summer of 2013. The history of the early pioneers is constructed with data not previously published, gathered from contemporary sources. International competitions are covered and include the Olympic Games, the Cup of the Americas and the World Championships. Particular attention is given to the major clubs, the Argentine and Hurlingham Open Championships, and the National Handicap Tournament. Several of the elite players merit individual or family mini-biographies. Myths in Argentine polo are also debunked, based upon careful analysis of contemporary sources. Travels abroad by Argentine teams are fully described as are the foreign teams that competed in Argentina. The work is enhanced by the author's personal observation of significant events and friendship with many of the participants.

Antissemitismo
O livro de Francisco Carlos Teixeira da Silva e de Karl Schurster, “Antissemitismo: Uma presença atual”, analisa de maneira original o ressurgimento do antissemitismo no mundo, buscando fugir de perspectivam mais tradicionais e conservadoras do estudo do tema. Ambos notam que a perseguição e a violência podem recair sobre os ombros de populações desprivilegiadas, LGBTS, negros, socialistas ou ciganos etc., sem abrir mão do antissemitismo como categoria de análise. É a partir da ideia do “Judeu Imaginário” que buscam entender os desejos que impelem ressentimentos e ódio nas perspectivas do extremismo político no tempo presente. Enfim, uma obra fundamental para entendermos os dias que seguem.
