Brizola 62
Este livro se propõe a analisar o processo eleitoral do estado da Guanabara em 1962, no qual o governador gaúcho Leonel Brizola foi eleito, pelo PTB, o deputado federal mais votado do Brasil. Além das motivações, procuramos compreender o contexto político, a nível nacional e local, o sistema eleitoral, a dinâmica da campanha e as implicações da eleição de Brizola para a corrida presidencial de 1965.
Christian Sacred Music in the Americas
Christian Sacred Music in the Americas explores the richness of Christian musical traditions and reflects the distinctive critical perspectives of the Society for Christian Scholarship in Music. This volume, edited by Andrew Shenton and Joanna Smolko, is a follow-up to SCSM’s Exploring Christian Song and offers a cross-section of the most current and outstanding scholarship from an international array of writers. The essays survey a broad geographical area and demonstrate the enormous diversity of music-making and scholarship within that area. Contributors utilize interdisciplinary methodologies including media studies, cultural studies, theological studies, and different analytical and ethnographical approaches to music. While there are some studies that focus on a single country, musical figure, or region, this is the first collection to represent the vast range of sacred music in the Americas and the different approaches to studying them in context.
A bancada da Bíblia
O braço das igrejas evangélicas no Congresso é um dos mais poderosos atores da política brasileira. Deputados e senadores eleitos sob a égide do Evangelho têm sido cortejados por todos os presidentes desde a Assembleia Constituinte de 1987-8. Neste livro essencial para entender a política contemporânea, o jornalista André Ítalo Rocha, vencedor do Prêmio Todavia de Não Ficção, investiga as origens, o funcionamento e as singularidades da bancada evangélica, mergulhando nas histórias entrelaçadas da religião e do poder.
Evangelicals and Electoral Politics in Latin America
Why are religious minorities well represented and politically influential in some democracies but not others? Focusing on evangelical Christians in Latin America, this book argues that religious minorities seek and gain electoral representation when they face significant threats to their material interests and worldview, and when their community is not internally divided by cross-cutting cleavages. Differences in Latin American evangelicals' political ambitions emerged as a result of two critical junctures: episodes of secular reform in the early twentieth century and the rise of sexuality politics at the turn of the twenty-first. In Brazil, significant threats at both junctures prompted extensive electoral mobilization; in Chile, minimal threats meant that mobilization lagged. In Peru, where major cleavages divide both evangelicals and broader society, threats prompt less electoral mobilization than otherwise expected. The multi-method argument leverages interviews, content analysis, survey experiments, ecological analysis, and secondary case studies of Colombia, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.
O Ethos Pentecostal na Esfera Pública
A participação na esfera pública de cidadãos que professam sua fé é cada vez maior, porém não sem crítica de grupos laicistas e irreligiosos. Essa obra procura demonstrar que essa participação, em especial de pentecostais, no debate público é um direito que não deve ser cerceado em nome de visões equivocadas do que seja Estado laico. Com sólida fundamentação acadêmica, o autor apresenta, à luz da Declaração de Fé das Assembleias de Deus, a vitalidade da doutrina teológica institucional na formação do "ethos", isto é, da identidade pentecostal e demonstra sua influência na esfera pública
Status and the Rise of Brazil
This book explores the evolution of Brazilian foreign relations in the last fifteen years, with a focus on continuities and change. The volume tackles three sets of themes: diplomacy and diplomatic culture, international security and international development cooperation. Central to these themes is how they all relate to Brazil’s international status, and its quest for higher standing. The authors draw on a wide variety of methodologies to grapple with the subject matter, from diplomatic history to international sociology and postcolonial studies. The result is a combination of different approaches that seek to account for the foreign relations of Brazil.
Cardiovascular Surgery
This clinical casebook is comprised of surgical cases involving the most important cardiovascular diseases in a concise, easy-to-read format (5x8 in trim size, like other titles in this burgeoning, informal product line in the Springer clinical medicine program). Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as questions and answers (between 8 and 10) about relevant aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of the addressed disease. The Q&A section will broaden discussion and increase the title's pedagogical value. The casebook features 40 surgical cases in...
Psychopaths: the Evil Spectrum
Originally based on the paper "The Neuroscience of Psychopathy" I submitted to obtain the degree of "Neuroscience & Applied Psychology Specialist", this book is actually a compilation of various fields of knowledge on human behavior. My interest on Psychopaths started thirteen years ago. If you have ever crossed paths with one, you understand where this determination comes from. I should warn you beforehand, however, that they are not easy to be identified. Even experts have difficulty diagnosing them, with many falling for heir innate talent for acting or wearing masks. But this should not discourage you from trying to single them out. Just think of all the headache you could spare yourself...
The Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
