Strange Pilgrimages
This anthology "decolonizes" the voices of Latin Americans who travel abroad and engage in cultural critiques of their homelands in counterpoint to foreigners' better known accounts of Latin America. The 17 contributions by North and South American academics examine--including entertaining first person accounts--the themes of constructing nations/a national identity post- independence, touring modernity, taking sides, and the art of living and working abroad. References include suggested films (e.g. Carmen Miranda: Bananas is My Business, 1994) as well as readings. Lacks an index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Movement Variability in Soccer Training
Movement variability in soccer training is the new approach to enhancing practice and developing players' movement adaptabilities and creative play on the field. Movement Variability in Soccer Training bridges the gap between theory and practice. In the first section of the book, you are given the background theory and scientific evidence supporting movement variability. This section covers the short- and mid-term effects of adopting movement variability training as it relates to players' technical, tactical, and creative development. In the following section, you are given 100 training drills—practical examples for implementing variability during training based on that session's goals, such as individual, group, or team development. Finally, with this book, you learn how to incorporate periodization training during each training microcycle. By addressing all aspects of performance, this book is an essential reference for every soccer trainer, coach, or player!
Non-pharmacological Interventions for Mental Disorders
One of the side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic was the worsening of the symptomatology of mental disorders. The number of people with mental disorders has increased and pre-existing mental disorders have worsened, in many cases. Psychopharmacology alone is not sufficient for the treatment of conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder, among others, and the combined use of psychopharmacology and non-pharmacological interventions is recommended by international guidelines. Despite this, most people around the world do not have access to non-pharmacological interventions and when they are diagnosed with a mental disorder, only psychopharmacological drugs are prescribed. In other cases, although non-pharmacological interventions, for example psychotherapy, are also prescribed, this response takes a long time.
Vítimas e violências na Lisboa da I República
Vítimas e Violências na Lisboa da I República é um livro que ambiciona responder a duas questões principais: apurar o papel da violência nas relações sociais e perceber o que, na Lisboa desse tempo, significava ser vítima, quem era ela, o que fazia, porque o fora e como era olhada pelos poderes. A investigação apoiou-se numa fonte inexplorada: os exames diretos e de sanidade efetuados, pelos peritos do Instituto de Medicina Legal de Lisboa, às vítimas de crimes contra a segurança, nos anos de 1912 e de 1926. A investigação conclui que a vítima, ainda que fosse essencial a afirmação do poder, foi muito pouco considerada, quer pelo Direito, quer pela Medicina Legal, saberes e poderes mais preocupados com a repressão do agressor. A origem popular, a profissão, o comportamento, o traje, o analfabetismo e a linguagem reforçavam a convicção de que pouco separava o ofendido do ofensor, ambos encerrados num mesmo mundo de desvio. E para assegurar o monopólio da violência pelas elites no poder, à medida que a violência popular era criminalizada, escondia-se e esquecia-se a dimensão sociabilitária da agressão.
