O coronel Lucas Vasco era considerado um homem bom. Protegia os amigos e os seguidores. Sua trajetória se confunde com a história da cidade de Arari, em Minas Gerais, que mantinha sob controle, usando, inclusive, de violência e intimidação. Além disso, usava seu poder político e econômico para ter as mulheres que desejasse. Dentre todas as amantes que ele mantinha, Maria Custodio era a preferida dele, e dessa relação nasceu Maria Clara. O relacionamento dos dois foi mantido por alguns anos, ainda que ele nunca tenha dado atenção à filha ou sequer reconhecido a paternidade oficialmente. A menina, que sabia da situação, não se deixava abalar: o amor que recebia da mãe era suficiente.Foi assim que Maria Clara cresceu no pequeno povoado: saudável e feliz, apaixonada pelos estudos e sempre atenta à passagem da Maria Fumaça pela estrada de ferro Mogiana, a qual podia ver pela janela de sua casa. E isso tudo é só o começo. Neste livro que mistura biografia e ficção, Virgilio Pedro Rigonatti conta a encantadora história de sua mãe Maria Clara, que sempre levou a vida de maneira inspiradora e positiva − e que merece ser contada a todo mundo.

The largest part of the world’s food comes from its soils, either directly from plants, or via animals fed on pastures and crops. Thus, it is necessary to maintain, and if possible, improve the quality—and hence good health—of soils, while enabling them to support the growing world population. The Soil Underfoot: Infinite Possibilities for a Finite Resource arms readers with historical wisdom from various populations around the globe, along with current ideas and approaches for the wise management of soils. It covers the value of soils and their myriad uses viewed within human and societal contexts in the past, present, and supposed futures. In addition to addressing the technical mean...
Cosmopolitan Film Cultures in Latin America examines how cinema forged cultural connections between Latin American publics and film-exporting nations in the first half of the twentieth century. Predating today's transnational media industries by several decades, these connections were defined by active economic and cultural exchanges, as well as longstanding inequalities in political power and cultural capital. The essays explore the arrival and expansion of cinema throughout the region, from the first screenings of the Lumière Cinématographe in 1896 to the emergence of new forms of cinephilia and cult spectatorship in the 1940s and beyond. Examining these transnational exchanges through t...

This beautiful and wide-ranging book—the first to explore the tradition of portraiture in Latin America from pre-Columbian times to the present d...
"The story of Alvar Aalto's furniture, from his first known work in 1919 to the latest bentwood variations by Artek, has been reconstructed here in four articles. Mr. Igor Herler, architect and scholar, reveals hitherto unknown designs of Aalto's youth ; Mr. Göran Schildt, Ph.D., author and Aalto's biographer, studies the evolution of his "trademark", the bentwood furniture, and the creation of the Artek company ; Ms. Marja-Liisa Parko, interior architect, formerly employed in the Artek Design Studio, recalls the relations between Aalto and the Artek Studio and touches on some of the technical aspects of production ; and finally, Ms. Elissa Aalto, Alvar's wife and partner, in collaboration with Ms. Marja-Riitta Norri, writes on fixed furniture in Aalto's architecture as an organic extension of his designs for standard furniture." -- p. 11.
