¡VIVA!
This compelling collection of inspiring case studies from community arts projects in five countries will inform and inspire students, artists, and activists. ¡VIVA! is the product of a five-year transnational research project that integrates place, politics, passion, and praxis. Framed by postcolonial theories of decolonization, the pedagogy of the oppressed articulated by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, and the burgeoning field of community arts, this collection not only analyzes the dynamic integration of the critical and the creative in social justice movements, it embodies such a praxis.

Bioactive Compounds in Phytomedicine
There are significant concerns regarding the potential side effects from the chronic use of conventional drugs such as corticosteroids, especially in children. Herbal therapy is less expensive, more readily available, and increasingly becoming common practice all over the world. Such practices have both their benefits and risks. However, herbal self-therapy might have serious health consequences due to incorrect self-diagnosis, inappropriate choice of herbal remedy or adulterated herbal product. In addition, absence of clinical trials and other traditional safety mechanisms before medicines are introduced to the wider market results in questionable safe dosage ranges which may produce adverse and unexpected outcomes. Therefore, the use of herbal remedies requires sufficient knowledge about the efficacy, safety and proper use of such products. Hence, it is necessary to have baseline data regarding the use of herbal remedies and to educate future health professionals about various aspects of herbal remedies.

Argentina's Missing Bones
"Argentina's missing bones: revisiting the history of the dirty war examines the history of state terrorism during Argentina's 1976-83 military dictatorship in a single place: the industrial city of Córdoba, Argentina's second largest city and the site of some of the dirty war's greatest crimes. It examines the city's previous history of social protest, working-class militancy, and leftist activism as an explanation for the particular nature of the dirty war there. Argentina's missing bones examines both national and transnational influences on the counter-revolutionary war in Córdoba. The book also considers the legacy of this period and examines the role of the state in constructing a public memory of the violence and holding those responsible accountable through the most extensive trials for crimes against humanity to take place anywhere in Latin America"--Provided by publisher.
Jogando a sério
Neste livro, María Carmen Bello compartilha suas experiências como psicodramatista e mostra que o psicodrama constitui um método, uma filosofia e uma prática capaz de promover a interação grupal e a resolução de situações de crise ou conflito. Baseando-se em vivências pedagógicas, institucionais, empresariais e sociais, a autora detalha – com linguagem direta e, por vezes, irreverente – um grande leque de aplicações da abordagem criada por Jacob Levy Moreno. Grupos universitários, de mulheres, equipes profissionais e até meninos de rua: ninguém fica incólume à experiência de refletir sobre si mesmo e reconstruir a realidade com dois instrumentos humanos apontados por Moreno como únicos – a espontaneidade e a criatividade. Obra indicada a todos os profissionais que trabalham em e com grupos.
