Centenarians, once a rarity, are the world's fastest growing age group: there are currently about 50,000 people over 100 in the United States alone, almost three times as many as there were in 1980.

These are the questions Harvard scientists Thomas Perls and Margery Hutter Silver set out to answer when they launched the New England Centenarian Study.As they probed beyond disease to identify the parameters of an energetic later life, Perls and Silver realized that the key to preserving health and vital...
Ranging from figurative representation to gestural abstraction, monumental landscape paintings to more intimate portraits, the oeuvre of American painter Leidy Churchman (born 1979) channels his artistic and literary influences, friendships, moods, surrounding landscapes and the visual iconography of divergent religions and philosophies. Crocodile highlights the artist's investigations into consciousness in his renderings of anthropomorphic animals and psychological states; his appropriation of existing artworks and aesthetics; and his recasting of various signs and symbols, from his depiction of the Buddhist symbol of the protector deity in Mahakala (2017) to the Mastercard logo in Mastercard (2013).

In addition to collecting 90 reproductions of works, the book features artwork made especially for it, plus texts by Ruba Katrib, Alex Kitnik and Arnisa Zeqo, in addition to a conversation between Churchman and Lauren Cornell.
(Continuação)trabalho é analisar a campanha de arrecadação de fundos realizada em 1953: seu planejamento, a aplicação, os resultados e o envolvimento dos ex-alunos. Como resultado da campanha o Mackenzie captou pouco mais do que o equivalente a US$ 14 milhões. Tentaremos mostrar que é possível, sob certas condições, reaplicar o método nas outras escolas, especialmente universidades no Brasil. Assim, com uma nova visão, as escolas, governos e especialmente a sociedade civil poderão construir um Brasil que se destaque pela educação do seu povo, com um pequeno esforço de alguns, reconhecimento de outros, permitindo a educação de todos.
