Ambition, Federalism, and Legislative Politics in Brazil
Ambition theory suggests that scholars can understand a good deal about politics by exploring politicians' career goals. In the USA, an enormous literature explains congressional politics by assuming that politicians primarily desire to win re-election. In contrast, although Brazil's institutions appear to encourage incumbency, politicians do not seek to build a career within the legislature. Instead, political ambition focuses on the subnational level. Even while serving in the legislature, Brazilian legislators act strategically to further their future extra-legislative careers by serving as 'ambassadors' of subnational governments. Brazil's federal institutions also affect politicians' electoral prospects and career goals, heightening the importance of subnational interests in the lower chamber of the national legislature. Together, ambition and federalism help explain important dynamics of executive-legislative relations in Brazil. This book's rational-choice institutionalist perspective contributes to the literature on the importance of federalism and subnational politics to understanding national-level politics around the world.
Principles of Clinical Gastroenterology
A Concise, Symptom-Based Textbook for Diagnosis and Decision Making in Clinical Practice Over the past twenty years, thousands of physicians have come to depend on Yamada’s Textbook of Gastroenterology.

This new textbook, Principles of Clinical Gastroenterology, is designed to inform practitioners on the features of the major clinical disorders in gastroenterology and hepatology from the point of view of the clinician observing signs and symptoms of a pat...
The Order
The main theme of the book The Order is the cognitive and emotional impoverishment of humanity through education, which, with the pretext of inclusion and peace, serves human (and even humanoid) dispensability, in the face of the evolution of knowledge and technology. The Order is an irony of the paths that education and society are taking and a criticism of the duplicity between discourse and reality. (...) The characters in the story will participate in adventures in a dystopian context, sometimes misleading, and witness the beginning of a major turnaround. (...) Despite the ongoing extraterrestrial colonization, the Earth is overpopulated in the face of technological success, scientific a...
Memórias de uma Portuguesa de 1962
Nascida no Oeste e criada em Lisboa, Maria Lavareda relata episódios da sua vida de menina, entre dois mundos: o rural e a capital. Apanhada no êxodo do campo para a cidade, as vivências em tempos de transição do salazarismo para a democracia enfeitam as suas melhores memórias, vertidas neste livro, como partilha de uma parte de si com aqueles que com ela conviveram, ou viveram na mesma época e ainda com todos os que quiserem conhecer um pouco do modo de vida desses tempos.
A Ordem
O mote principal do livro A Ordem é o empobrecimento cognitivo e emocional da humanidade através da educação, que, com o pretexto da inclusão e da paz, serve a dispensabilidade humana (e até humanóide), face à evolução do conhecimento e da tecnologia. A Ordem é uma ironia aos caminhos que a educação e a sociedade estão a tomar e uma crítica à duplicidade entre o discurso e o real. (...) Os personagens da história vão participar em aventuras num contexto distópico, por vezes enganadoras, e presenciam o início de uma reviravolta de grande envergadura. (...) Apesar da colonização extraterrestre em marcha, a Terra está sobrepovoada face ao sucesso tecnológico, aos avanço...
Crónicas de Vida Alheia

Neste livro, Maria Lavareda conta pequenas estórias de gentes com quem se cruzou na vida ou na imaginação ou quiçá de si própria, com um olhar alheio.
