Wildlife Conservation Society Birds of Brazil
Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world and is one of the planet's richest places for bird diversity, especially when it comes to the number of endemic species. Brazil's Atlantic Forest region is one of the most dazzling of all. Immediately surrounding São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, this area of Brazil is also a relatively accessible area to birders from around the world. In the Birds of Brazil Field Guides, the Wildlife Conservation Society brings together a top international team to do justice to the incredible diversity of Brazilian birds. This second guide presents 927 bird species, 863 illustrated, that occur in just the southeastern Atlantic Forest biome (Mata Atlântica in Portuguese). Of these species, 140 are endemic and 105 near endemic to just this region; 83 of these are threatened. Modern and compact, this field guide provides illustrations of unparalleled quality, key field marks, and regional range maps to facilitate easy recognition of all species normally occurring in this vibrant and critically important area of Brazil.
In the Field, Among the Feathered
America is a nation of ardent, knowledgeable birdwatchers. But how did it become so? And what role did the field guide play in our passion for spotting, watching, and describing birds? In the Field, Among the Feathered tells the history of field guides to birds in America from the Victorian era to the present, relating changes in the guides to shifts in science, the craft of field identification, and new technologies for the mass reproduction of images. Drawing on his experience as a passionate birder and on a wealth of archival research, Thomas Dunlap shows how the twin pursuits of recreation and conservation have inspired birders and how field guides have served as the preferred method of ...

Brazilian Science Fiction
Science fiction, because of its links to science and technology, is the consummate literary vehicle for examining the perception and cultural impact of the modernization process in Brazil. Because of the centrality of the role played by the military dictatorship (1964-85) in imposing industrialization and economic development policies on Brazil, this book examines the genre in the periods before, during, and after the dictatorship, encompassing the years 1960-2000. The analysis shows that a reading of Brazilian science fiction based on its use of paradigms of Anglo-American science fiction and myths of Brazilian nationhood provides a unique look into Brazil's modern metamorphosis as it finds itself on the periphery of the globalized world.

O vampiro antes de Drácula
Mesmo antes de Drácula, os vampiros já assombravam o mundo. Aristocratas misteriosos que seduzem donzelas indefesas, uma jovem apaixonada que pousa para um retrato pintado com a sua própria vida, uma flor rara que ao desabrochar demanda um tipo bem específico de adubo... Essas são algumas das histórias reunidas em O vampiro antes de Drácula. A minuciosa pesquisa de Martha Argel e Humberto Moura Neto traz ao público uma visão única sobre a construção do mito sobrenatural que forjou o próprio conceito de medo no ocidente e que se tornou um ícone da cultura pop. Com nomes como Edgar Allan Poe, John Polidori, Alexandre Dumas e H. G. Wells, os organizadores mostram o imaginário coletivo que levou à construção de um dos personagens mais emblemáticos de todos os tempos.
