O paiz do Amazonas
None
Sustainability
The reinvention and the emergency of the capitalism with new worldwide contours, having ecology as the paradigm of modernity, have introduced a set of new problems. The integration of the world economy with environmental questions, the control on the ecological future of the planet, the reinventions of new ethical utopias for the humanity, the universality of the participative democracy, and the construction of the new natural and social contracts on a worldwide scale, are questions that pressure the current systems of thoughts. The fast social depreciation and ecological destruction, putting the future existence of the humanity at risk, constitute a contradiction of the processes of globalization. Mankind has been confronted with this new historical perspective: to construct and incorporate socio-economical enterprises to the notion of sustainable development. This book has the pretension to introduce new elements in this dialogue, reaffirming the importance of the Amazonia in this worldwide political enterprise.
The Future of Amazonia in Brazil
This book presents an original and exciting study on Amazonia and ecological issues. It analyzes the main contemporary polemics from the perspective of culture and the nature sciences.
Who Will Save Amazonia?
"The authors warn governments, societies and humanity about the future of Amazonia. It is dying. Who will save Amazonia? The world is at war with covid-19, climate change and social inequality. This book shows that Amazonia is a key entity in the victory of humanity against these three 'plagues' of modernity. A worldwide mobilization is needed to stop its cultural and ecological destruction. Its full submission to the market and to predatory privatization contribute to this process that has global impact. It is an open question as many diseases and pandemics could spread throughout the world as a result of continued destruction of this incredibly biodiverse region. It has about 163 indigenou...
Manaus
Manaus, an urban-industrial center in the Amazon, serves in this book as a microcosmic case of dependent capitalist development in Latin America. With the creation of a Free Trade Zone and a strong program of fiscal incentives in 1967, the Brazilian government initiated a large-scale project designed to establish an industrial pole in Manaus. This book is an anthropological study of the impact of this type of development on the economic, social, and cultural life of working class families. This study underscores the work relationships between different economic sectors, the economy of households, the organization of domestic groups and, ultimately, the social engagement of working class families in the life of their neighborhoods, the city, and the larger Brazilian society. Despres examines the theoretical value of modernization, dependency, and modes of production approaches for understanding the social formation of working class populations. In discussing capitalist development in Brazil, the author grapples with the problems of urbanization, industrialization, and economic development in Latin America generally.

Sustainability and Covid-19
This is the book of hope and love for people. Michael shares with his grandfather - as well as with plants and birds - his concerns about the destruction of nature by human beings. He incorporates the intersubjective dimension into the universe of sustainability, and shows that children are happier when integrated into nature. Michael warns that the planet's ecological protection is collapsing, causing irreversible damage to mankind. He shows that the commodification of nature and its predatory privatization have led to this dramatic scenario, which also includes the cultural and ecological destruction of Amazonia. Michael reaffirms his hope in education as a civilizing agent to improve peop...
