Music, Theater, and Society in the Comedies of Luiz Carlos Martins Penna (1833-1846)
This book clarifies the musical dramaturgy of comedy writer and musician Luiz Carlos Martins Penna (1815-48) – a notion that encompasses both the theatrical text and its performance. The corpus for this analysis is composed of twelve comedies by Martins Penna written between 1833 and 1846, divided into three groups, which I have called Lundu, Aria, and Alleluia.

Refugees
When Carlos Wizard started writing this book, he was on a humanitarian mission to welcome refugees on the Brazilian-Venezuela border - finding housing and work so that they could have a sustainable future. All of this happened for a purpose that you will discover as you read. While everyone was wondering why a billionaire left his companies to dedicate himself to his neighbor, he was going through the most transformative experience of his life, what he considers to be his greatest undertaking. In the face of this courageous story by a businessman who understood that no money in the world could bring him the satisfaction he had in changing the destiny of thousands of families, we can be inspired to practice solidarity, save lives, and reconnect with our own essence.
The Universe Today
Starting out from humankind's earliest ideas about the cosmos, this book gives the reader a clear overview of our current understanding of the universe, including big bang theories and the formation of stars and galaxies, as well as addressing open questions. The author shows how our present view gradually developed from observations, and also how the outcome of ongoing research may still change this view. The book brings together concepts in physics and astronomy, including some history in both cases. The text is descriptive rather than technical: the goal is to present things rigorously and without oversimplification, by highlighting the crucial physical concepts. The only prerequisite is a qualitative knowledge of basic physics concepts at high-school level.
