Luiz Alves De Lima
This book is the culmination of over 40 years of research about a very fascinating individual who had a tremendous impact on the history of 19th Century Brazil, Luiz Alves de Lima e Silva, the Duke of Caxias. Brazilian history is replete with attempts to capture the historical significance of the Duke of Caxias. The following is a list of some of the titles given to Caxias in an attempt to capture his historical importance: The Never Defeated General The Sustainer of Order The Iron Duke The Tertillary of the Republic The major military figure of Latin America Counselor of the State The Pacifier of the Army The Shield of Legality The Bandeirante of the Public Cause The Great Tranquil Hero The...
UNBOUND
Branca Dias endures the arrest, imprisonment and abuse of her mother and sister at the hands of the Inquisition in Portugal. Dias is a Jewish woman who has hid her family’s religion, but she was bold enough to continue to observe in secret. Eventually, she too is captured and tortured for heresy by the depraved inquisitor, Heitor Furtado de Mendonça. The inquisitor is simultaneously enraged and passionately obsessed by Branca. Despite enduring emotional and physical torture at his hands, she manages to escape from Portugal. With little more than her wit and boundless courage, she and her children disguise themselves as slaves and flee to Brazil to become one of the first Jewish colonists. But even across an ocean, the Inquisition follows on her heels. In 1591, Mendonça is appointed official inquisitor of Portugal’s new colonies and chases the one heretic who has consumed his mind and heart: Branca. Obsessed with her capture, Mendonça pursues her for three decades until, in 1593 he uncovers her whereabouts and brings her family back to Lisbon for an inhuman public trial. Amid the chaos of the trial, the spirit of Branca Dias prevails.

Applications of Gravity Anomalies in Geophysics
Knowledge of the density of the subsurface of a planet is crucial in determining its interior structure, and one can estimate the average bulk crustal density directly using the admittance between topography and gravity, which has been successfully used for the Moon and is being extended to Mars. The interpretation of gravity data is commonly done by computation of a gravity anomaly (GA) by correcting the raw data for a number of factors that impact the gravity field. Depending on the target science, different types of GA can be computed, the interpretation of which have been widely employed in geophysics to explore the interior of the Earth and other planets, through applications in airborn...

Rethinking Centre-Periphery Assumptions in the History of Education
This collection encompasses a period that spans two centuries, in which Brazil serves as a point of departure and of arrival for the analyses of circuits that, intertwined within the national borders, stimulate the reflection about international transits, hybridizations, and appropriations in a process of transnational circulation of subjects and artifacts, in which pedagogical and social models and knowledges are not excluded. The chapters deal with voyages, trajectories, and exchanges, rethinking the beliefs that for a long time drove politicians, educators, and scholars in search of the best ways to construct national systems of education. Firstly, because they presupposed the existence o...
