A publicação é fruto de anos de trabalho intenso, complexo, porém sempre prazeroso, pois mobilizado pelo anseio da autora por compreender os entrelaçamentos das linhas que formam as redes da festa, identificando os locais que precisam de remendos urgentes. A Festa de Iemanjá, realizada no Rio Vermelho, em Salvador, no dia 02 de fevereiro, tem características singulares. São muitas festas dentro da festa que se mantém a partir de redes de governança formais e informais. Neste livro, a autora apresenta esta manifestação cultural na perspectiva dos seus contextos e atores, dos arranjos gerenciais e dos múltiplos mercados na dinâmica social que viabiliza a execução anual da Festa. São imensos os desafios para manutenção das tradições simbólicas e dos espaços decisórios dos guardiões dos ritos no encontro com interesses divergentes, e muitas vezes conflitantes, de ordem econômica, social e política.

O livro ‘Criatividade e emancipação nas sociedades em rede: contribuições para uma economia criativa brasileira’ homenageia, a partir do seu título, a obra seminal de Celso Furtado, publicada em 1978, denominada ‘Criatividade e dependência na civilização industrial’, retomando a criatividade como insumo do desenvolvimento brasileiro no século XXI. No contexto brasileiro de grave crise política, social, econômica, ambiental e cultural, a economia criativa brasileira pode e deve disputar espaço e reconhecimento, entre as políticas públicas, para liderar a gestão competente dos recursos da cultura e da criatividade no território em favor do bem comum e do bem viver.

"Peel is by training an anthropologist, but one possessed of an acute historical sensibility. Indeed, this magnificent book achieves a degree of analytical verve rare in either discipline." —History Today "[T]his is scholarship of the highest quality. . . . Peel lifts the Yoruba past to a dimension of comparative seriousness that no one else has managed. . . . The book teems with ideas . . . about big and compelling matters of very wide interest." —T. C. McCaskie In this magisterial book, J. D. Y. Peel contends that it is through their encounter with Christian missions in the mid-19th century that the Yoruba came to know themselves as a distinctive people. Peel's detailed study of the encounter is based on the rich archives of the Anglican Church Missionary Society, which contain the journals written by the African agents of mission, who, as the first generation of literate Yoruba, played a key role in shaping modern Yoruba consciousness. This distinguished book pays special attention to the experiences of ordinary men and women and shows how the process of Christian conversion transformed Christianity into something more deeply Yoruba.

In today's global recession, strong management of firms and organizations are of the utmost importance. Best-selling Economics of Strategy focuses on the key economic concepts students must master in order to develop a sound business strategy. Bringing economic theory and strategic analysis to life in an engaging and uniquely modern way, Besanko et al. have collaborated for over 15 years to build an introductory business course that combines basic concepts from economic theory of the firm and industrial organization with ideas from modern strategy literature. The newly revised 5th edition offers more real-world applications to make materials studied in undergraduate Managerial Economics, Business Strategy, and Industrial Organization courses relevant. Armed with general principles, today's students—tomorrow's future managers—will be prepared to adjust their firms' business strategies to the demands of the ever-changing environment.
