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.

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.
Die Taufe des Leviathan
Politik steht zunehmend unter dem Einfluss von Religion, insbesondere in Nord- und Südamerika. Führer der evangelikal-pfingstlichen Bewegung verschaffen sich dort immer mehr politische Macht und bilden eine religiöse Rechte. Aus dem Leiden an sozialer Ungleichheit formen sie ein rückschrittliches Wählerpotenzial und durchlöchern die Grenze zwischen Religion und säkularer Politik. Dagegen positionieren sich auf der Linken religiöse Graswurzelbewegungen, die die Erfahrungen sozialer Ungleichheit in ethischen Protest umleiten. Heinrich Wilhelm Schäfer analysiert diese religiös-politischen Kämpfe um gesellschaftliche Macht und Laizität in den Amerikas und diskutiert die Möglichkeiten eines post-säkularen Dialogs.
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.

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...
