The Country of Football
"In time for Brazil's hosting of the 2014 World Cup, this book uses the stories of star players and other key figures (based on over 40 interviews) to create a contemporary history of Brazilian soccer from the 1950s to the present. It also explores race and class tensions in Brazil and shows how soccer is central to the country's dramatic trajectory toward modernity and economic power"--
Soccer and Racism
This book aims to use soccer as a tool to understand key elements of Brazil’s history from the overthrown of the Monarchy in 1889 to the 1930 Revolution that brought Getulio Vargas to power—the so called First Republic. More specifically, this book will show that the advent of soccer and the reactions of the elites toward this sport can be understood primarily as a consequence of the desire of the new Republic—crucially influenced by racist attitudes integral to Social Darwinism—to be included within the white civilized world. Thus, racism during the early years of football in that country was influenced by the eurocentric views of the world in racial terms and the Brazilian elites desire to be accepted by the civilized white world.
Global Perspectives on Health Assessments for an Aging Population
Today’s society recognizes that the last decades of an individual’s life are usually those in which health tends to deteriorate and chronic pathologies increase. Action at this level is verified through the increased concern of government officials with the elderly population motivated by the socio-economic impact of costs associated with the provision of healthcare in this group. Global Perspectives on Health Assessments for an Aging Population provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area of health assessments for an aging population. Covering topics such as ambulatory wellbeing, gerontology, and neuropsychological assessment, this premier reference source is a valuable resource for gerontological healthcare professionals, gerontological social workers, psychologists, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
Waste Management Policies and Practices in BRICS Nations
Waste Management Policies and Practices in BRICS Nations explores recent developments in waste management. BRICS nations are the emerging economies of the world. Increasing populations, urbanization, industrialization and uses of chemical fertilizer and pesticide in agriculture for enhanced productivity of food, especially in India and China, to support the large populations harm the natural environment. The rise in the living standards of the human population has increased environmental pollution manifold, resulting in the huge generation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste simultaneously, which has contaminated natural resources such as soil, water and air.

Science, Technology and Medicine in the Making of Lisbon (1840–1940)
Why write a book about science, technology, and medicine in Lisbon? No one questions the value of similar studies of European capital cities such as Paris or London, but they are not reflective of the norm. Alongside its unique characteristics, Lisbon more closely represents the rule and deserves attention as such. This book offers the first urban history of science, technology and medicine in Lisbon, 1840–1940. It addresses the hybrid character of a European port city, scientific capital and imperial metropolis. It discusses the role of science, technology, and medicine in the making of Lisbon, framed by the analysis of invisibilities, urban connections, and techno-scientific imaginaries. The book is accompanied by a virtual interactive map.
