Protest and Resistance in Angola and Brazil
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1972.
The African Religions of Brazil
Monteiro.--John A. Coleman "Theological Studies"
Rhythms of Resistance
This work describes how slaves, mariners and merchants brought African music from Angola and the ports of East Afrcia to Latin America, and to Brazil in particular. The author examines how the rhythms and beats of Africa were combined with European popular music to create a unique sound.
Current Debates in Philosophy of Science
This volume collects previously unpublished contributions to the philosophy of science. What brings them together is a twofold goal: first and foremost, celebrating the name of Roberto Torretti, whose works in this and other areas have had –and continue to have– a significant impact on the international philosophy of science community; and second, the desire of advancing novel perspectives on various issues in the philosophy of science broadly construed. Roberto Torretti has made substantial contributions to current debates in the history and philosophy of science, the general philosophy of science, and the philosophy of physics and geometry. Among his landmark contributions, we find his investigations in the history and philosophy of geometry, as well as his systematic studies of Einstein's relativity theory. This volume convenes leading philosophers and early-career scholars compiling a fine collection of chapters addressing recent debates on Kantian philosophy of science, the general philosophy of science, and the history and philosophy of physics and mathematics.

Begin the Adventure / How to Break the Light Barrier by A. D. 2070 (second edition)
In 1905 Einstein found from relativity that there is an impenetrable light barrier. He reiterated this "finden" in 1916, writing, "...We conclude that in the theory of relativity the velocity c plays the part of a limiting velocity, which can neither be reached nor exceeded by any real body." Poincare and Lorentz did not share Einstein's view. Then in a 1921 lecture and a 1922 book, "Sidelights on Relativity," Einstein wrote (pp. 35-6), "Poincare is right. The idea of the measuring-rod and the idea of the clock coordinated with it in the theory of relativity do not find their exact correspondence in the real world." Thus the light barrier was questioned by the same man who erected it, and th...
Today's Take on Einstein's Relativity, Proceedings of Pima Community College Conference
On February 18, 2005 a one-day conference was held at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona at which six papers were presented. Things were kicked off with a warm welcome from the PCC-EC president, Dr. Raul Ramirez. There were 14 in attendance including Dr. Ramirez, with papers being presented by 12 of those plus one paper in absentia. Disciplines represented; astronomy, computer science, engineering physics and mathematics. Papers came from Russia (paper presented in absentia), the University of New Mexico at Gallup, and Pima Community College. Special thanks to Kirk Methlan of PCC-EC for giving us a "demonstration" of postulate 2 of special relativity, the constancy of the velocity of light.
