Maquiavel no Brasil: dos descobrimentos ao século XXI
Maquiavel no Brasil' trata de um tema fascinante: os percursos da obra de Nicolau Maquiavel, desde os primeiros movimentos da colonização portuguesa no século XVI até os dias de hoje. A obra desbrava, com a competência acadêmica e com a complexidade reivindicada pela pesquisa de fontes, aspectos desconhecidos da recepção deste multifacetado personagem em terras brasileiras, num mergulho inédito nos tortuosos caminhos e descaminhos da obra desse florentino genial que continua a surpreender. São 500 anos de história de sucessivos e recorrentes maquiavelismos que constituíram, e continuam a formar, a política tal como ela é ou insiste em ser hoje, assim com suas alternativas.
Forms and Meanings
In this provocative work, Roger Chartier continues his extraordinarily influential consideration of the forms of production, dissemination, and interpretation of discourse in Early Modern Europe. Chartier here examines the relationship between patronage and the market, and explores how the form in which a text is transmitted not only constrains the production of meaning but defines and constructs its audience.
Brazilian Portuguese and the Null Subject Parameter

Portuguese Oceanic Expansion, 1400-1800
A unique overview of Portuguese oceanic expansion between 1400 and 1800, the essays in this volume treat a wide range of subjects - economy and society, politics and institutions, cultural configurations and comparative dimensions - and radically update data and interpretations on the economic and financial trends of the Portuguese Empire. Interregional networks are analysed in a substantial way. Patterns of settlement, political configurations, ecclesiastical structures, and local powers are put in global context. Language and literature, the arts, and science and technology are revisited with refreshing and innovative approaches. The interaction between Portuguese and local people is studied in different contexts, while the entire imperial and colonial culture of the Portuguese world is looked at synthetically for the first time. In short, this book provides a broad understanding of the Portuguese Empire in its first four centuries as a factor in world history and as a major component of European expansion.
Hitler's Forgotten Children
Hitler’s Forgotten Children is both a harrowing personal memoir and a devastating investigation into the awful crimes and monstrous scope of the Lebensborn program in World War 2. Created by Heinrich Himmler, the Lebensborn program abducted as many as half a million children from across Europe. Through a process called Germanization, they were to become the next generation of the Aryan master race in the second phase of the Final Solution. In the summer of 1942, parents across Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia were required to submit their children to medical checks designed to assess racial purity. One such child, Erika Matko, was nine months old when Nazi doctors declared her fit to be a “Child...

Information Science in Transition
Are we at a turning point in digital information? The expansion of the internet was unprecedented; search engines dealt with it in the only way possible - scan as much as they could and throw it all into an inverted index. But now search engines are beginning to experiment with deep web searching and attention to taxonomies, and the Semantic Web is demonstrating how much more can be done with a computer if you give it knowledge. What does this mean for the skills and focus of the information science (or sciences) community? Should information designers and information managers work more closely to create computer based information systems for more effective retrieval? Will information scienc...
