What drives the uneven distribution of democratic practices at the subnational level? Within subunits of a democratic federation, lasting political practices that restrict choice, limit debate, and exclude or distort democratic participation have been analyzed in recent scholarship as subnational authoritarianism. Once a critical number of citizens or regions band together in these practices, they can leverage illiberal efforts at the federal level. This timely, data-driven book compares federations that underwent transitions in the first, second, and third waves of democratization and offers a substantial expansion of the concept of subnational authoritarianism. The eleven expert political ...
Faced with the establishment of the new Earth, expanding consciousness becomes an essential condition for those who remain here. In this context, Phytoconsciousness emerges, a tool channeled by the beings of Orion, which will contribute so that beings in human experience can reprogram their consciences. Through cellular recalibration, it allows more and more people to wake up to their purpose, so the being in human experience can recognize that what is essential in life is to bring the light of consciousness to this world through its action. The fullness of a being in a human experience is not only being conscious but being conscient.

Brazil is the first work of fiction to depict five centuries of a great nation's remarkable history, its evolution from colony to kingdom, from empire to modern republic. With a stunning cast of real and fictional characters, the story unfolds in South America, Africa and Europe.Two families dominate this extraordinary novel.

For generations, these adventurers have their eyes set on El Dorado, which they ultimately find -- in a coffee fazenda...
The read you have in your hands is a compilation of articles on Chinese immigration to Brazil. It has been organized by the two of us, bringing together the production of ours, along with those of other renowned researchers on the topic, coming from different backgrounds, alma maters and walks of life. The present selection is the result of gatherings realized in universities in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo cities in the years of 2018 and 2019, bringing together researchers from different countries, henceforth resulting in the making of a compilation in English language. The book comes as a response for the need for systematized texts on Chinese immigration to Brazil for international audiences. As a matter of fact, a study on Chinese immigration to Brazil is of interest for those who want to go deeper on cultural aspects of the Sino-Brazilian relations, with the advantage of offering information on Chinese culture available within Brazil, revealing how the South American country is transformed by the contact with the Asian one, besides revealing something new about ancient connections between Brazil and China.

O campo das alergias alimentares tardias tem sido considerado mais como uma arte clínica do que uma ciência baseada em achados laboratoriais. Além disso, a tendência do mundo industrial é de tratar os sintomas de forma isolada e sintomática e desviar o foco da investigação dos alimentos que os produzem, postergando a busca das causas primeiras dos sintomas que sejam persistentes, de repetição e que por vezes possam ser a causa de doenças crônicas. Dessa forma existe uma forte tendência de os clínicos convencionais dizerem que, se o mecanismo biológico ou imunológico não é conhecido, então a alergia alimentar não existe. Especialmente se os sintomas dos pacientes não se e...
