II Coletânea da produção da academia itaitubense de letras
Trata-se de uma coletânea de textos poéticos, narrativos e científicos dos membros da Academia Itaitubense de Letras, com o objetivo de divulgar a produção escrita dos "imortais" da AIL, visando incentivar alunos das escolas públicas e particulares a ser protagonistas de suas ações, registrando por escrito suas ideias, opiniões, técnicas de escrever e modos de ver o mundo, transformados em palavras. A proposta de escrever para publicação exerce uma função social e utilitária, considerando que, ultimamente, os jovens têm cada vez menos oportunidades de ler e escrever para buscar conhecimentos e entretenimento, haja vista a rapidez e necessidade mais crescente de uso das redes sociais. Assim sendo, entende-se que a continuação do saber acumulado sobre a língua e a linguagem e a apreciação da literatura só são possíveis mediante utilização constante do livro e estimulação das novas gerações à prática constante da leitura e da escrita no cotidiano. O prazer de ler e a emoção de conhecer novos autores traz uma esperança para os que amam os livros e a literatura, além de transmitir sentimentos e novas formas de ver, ouvir e viver.

Vale of Tears
"A brilliant and sensitive portrayal not only of Canudos, but of the sertão more generally. By making the defenders of Canudos less spectacular and exceptional, [Levine] has rescued them from the museum of curiosities and restored them to the mainstream of backland life. It is about time we had such nuanced understanding about this tragic misunderstanding."—Steven C. Topik, Luso-Brazilian Review

How Patriotic is the Patriot Act?
In this short book, Etzioni, the well-known and respected public intellectual and communitarian thinker, charts a middle course, or third way 'between those who are committed to shore up our liberties but blind to the needs of public security, as well as those who never met a right they are not willing to curtail to give authorities an even freer hand.' This book will prove a useful guide for citizens looking for a thought provoking, well-reasoned and sober analysis of one of the hot button issues of our time.
