Criatividade e Inovação como Diferenciais Competitivos na Hospitalidade
O conceito e o entendimento da hospitalidade vêm sendo aplicados e reelaborados para aplicação nos mais diversos ambientes da vida social, sejam eles domésticos, públicos ou comerciais. Portanto, o seu entendimento inicial, somente vinculado à oferta de hospedagem, alimentação, cuidados, acolhimento a peregrinos ou viajantes apenas por caridade e solidariedade, sofreu evoluções. Atualmente, tanto seu conceito quanto sua aplicação passaram a permear outras atmosferas, como o mundo político, corporativo, religioso, entre outros, mundos que envolvem a sociedade. Essa obra tem como objetivo priorizar a perspectiva profissional da hospitalidade, apresentando uma abordagem de gestão como um fator de qualidade e fundamentado em trocas monetárias. Assim, a Criatividade e a Inovação surgem como Diferenciais Competitivos na Hospitalidade.

In the Way of Development
Authored as a result of a remarkable collaboration between indigenous people's own leaders, other social activists and scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this volume explores what is happening today to indigenous peoples as they are enmeshed, almost inevitably, in the remorseless expansion of the modern economy and development, at the behest of the pressures of the market-place and government. It is particularly timely, given the rise in criticism of free market capitalism generally, as well as of development. The volume seeks to capture the complex, power-laden, often contradictory features of indigenous agency and relationships. It shows how peoples do not just resist or react to the pressures of market and state, but also initiate and sustain "life projects" of their own which embody local history and incorporate plans to improve their social and economic ways of living.

In Search of the Amazon
Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.
