From the first encounters between the Portuguese and indigenous peoples in 1500 to the current political turmoil, the history of Brazil is much more complex and dynamic than the usual representations of it as the home of Carnival, soccer, the Amazon, and samba would suggest. This extensively revised and expanded second edition of the best-selling Brazil Reader dives deep into the past and present of a country marked by its geographical vastness and cultural, ethnic, and environmental diversity. Containing over one hundred selections—many of which appear in English for the first time and which range from sermons by Jesuit missionaries and poetry to political speeches and biographical portraits of famous public figures, intellectuals, and artists—this collection presents the lived experience of Brazilians from all social and economic classes, racial backgrounds, genders, and political perspectives over the past half millennium. Whether outlining the legacy of slavery, the roles of women in Brazilian public life, or the importance of political and social movements, The Brazil Reader provides an unparalleled look at Brazil’s history, culture, and politics.

O que fez de um rio não catalogado pela ciência até o século XVII se tornar uma referência econômica nos meados dos séculos XIX e até a metade do século XX e desencadear a criação e urbanização de cidades ao longo de suas margens? A resposta está inserida no contexto deste livro sob o título Geografia Histórica de Carauary do Yuruá: 130 anos de mudança socioeconômica, territorial e ambiental. A referida obra faz um resgate histórico do Reconhecimento do Rio Juruá, a partir de uma missão pacificadora diplomática da Comissão Mista Brasileiro-Peruana, resultando em um relatório bem mais científico que diplomático, sobre o rio considerado o mais sinuoso do mundo. A obra é considerada uma coletânea de diferentes ciências como: antropologia, arqueologia, biogeografia, economia, geografia física, hidrografia, história, paleontologia, patologia, política, sociedade, cultura, território e meio ambiente, que por certo irá contribuir para o norteamento ou guia intelectual aos estudantes, professores e o público em geral que tenham disposição em expandir seus conhecimentos sobre o rio Juruá e o município e cidade de Carauari.

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of saline and alkaline soils in Latin America, known for having one of the most extensive surface of salt-affected soils in the world. It is organized along two main axes: soils and vegetation. The book discusses the occurrence of such soils in the region, focusing mainly in management strategies for their sustainable use, and it presents accounts of natural vegetation and crops in the various environments of the region. Social impacts of such conditions and ongoing projects to overcome them are considered. Likewise, the book highlights physiological mechanisms that are responsible for the negative effects these soils exert on crops and forest resources and determine vegetation distribution in them. Plant breeding challenges and new perspectives for such environments are discussed. Technologies such as irrigation and drainage are included. The readership includes soil and plant scientists, as well as policy makers.
