A obra examina como a beleza se tornou um objetivo da saúde nacional no Brasil. A partir de trabalho de campo etnográfico realizado em hospitais brasileiros, a pesquisa mostra como cirurgiões plásticos e pacientes navegam no sistema público de saúde, transformando a beleza em um direito básico à saúde. O livro reconstitui a história dessa preocupação nacional desde o projeto de embranquecimento da nação, no início do século XX, que estabeleceu a beleza como um índice de aperfeiçoamento racial, até o período dos anos de 1960 aos dias atuais, quando os cirurgiões plásticos tornam-se os principais proponentes de uma raciologia da beleza, usando-a para ganhar o apoio do Est...
A oração em línguas é um dom do Espírito Santo (1 Cor 12,10). São Paulo faz vária citações sobre esse carisma e sua importância para quem o põe em prática. Vemos o apóstolo delongar-se na instrução aos Coríntios sobre o uso do dom das línguas e na correção aos exageros que por vezes ocorriam; podemos perceber que esse era um dom usado com muita freqüência, um dom muito comum para eles e assim o foi, nos primórdios, para a Igreja. Nesse volume o autor nos fala da importância da oração em línguas e de todas as graças que ela é capaz de trazer.
Interest in the use of stem cells in aesthetic procedures has been increasing rapidly, reflecting the widespread acknowledgment of the tremendous potential of stem cell fat transfer. This is, however, the first book to be devoted entirely to the subject. The book opens by reviewing the history of the development of pluripotent stem cells and the results of research into the biochemistry and physiology of stem cells. Adipose tissue anatomy and survival are discussed and the wide range of aesthetic procedures involving stem cell fat transfer are then described in detail. These procedures relate to the face, breast, buttocks, legs, hands, penis and Poland syndrome. In addition, potential risks and complications are identified. The book has been written by leading experts and will be an invaluable source of information for students, beginners and experienced surgeons in a range of specialties.
In the 1950s–80s, Brazil built one of the most advanced industrial networks among the "developing" countries, initially concentrated in the state of São Paulo. But from the 1980s, decentralization of industry spread to other states reducing São Paulo's relative importance in the country's industrial product. This volume draws on social, economic, and demographic data to document the accelerated industrialization of the state and its subsequent shift to a service economy amidst worsening social and economic inequality. Through its cultural institutions, universities, banking, and corporate sectors, the municipality of São Paulo would become a world metropolis. At the same time, given its rapid growth from 2 million to 12 million residents in this period, São Paulo dealt with problems of distribution, housing, and governance. This significant volume elucidates these and other trends during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and will be an invaluable reference for scholars of history, policy, and the economy in Latin America.
