Diversity and Benefits of Microorganisms from the Tropics
This book addresses the diversity of tropical microorganisms and its applications in agriculture, renewable energy production and environmental protection. It covers several tropical habitats such as rain forests, mangroves, sea and river waters and describes how microorganisms isolated from these regions can be used to control insects and plant diseases, to improve sugar cane and biofuels production among other applications. The book also aims to bring researchers’ attention to the potential of tropical microorganisms for biotechnological purposes, an area that is still far from being well explored.
No fio da vida
"A vida, a tênue linha que separa a vitória das decepções, o sucesso do fracasso, o amor da dor, a razão da inconsequência, é aqui romanceada. As aparências enganam, e, de onde menos se espera, podem surgir os mais nobres ensinamentos de vida. Pode um simples e velho faxineiro influenciar um grande escritório de Direito Internacional? Como se libertar das lembranças entranhadas na essência de uma infância difícil? Personagens do dia a dia, comuns e verdadeiramente humanos, nos quais afloram as suas nuances reais, como paixão, medo, culpa, inveja, dúvidas, fé, depressão, vaidade, trabalho, poder, felicidade e outras tantas compartilhadas no viver de cada personagem. Leitura fácil e envolvente. Diálogos criativos, profundos, por vezes densos, bem-humorados e, vez ou outra, regados a bons vinhos. A história acontece na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, com um final surpreendente e inesperado. Uma celebração à vida através das nossas escolhas."
À Sombra da Casa Azul
Quando vi Paulo pela primeira vez, na sua torre de marfim da rua Barão de São Borja, eu soube que seríamos amigos. Ele era a ousadia e a cultura refinada que esta cidade não assimilou, um dandy dos trópicos, o Gay Sunshine de uma Mauristaadt sodomita nos becos e repressora nas casas de família. As lembranças que aqui são contadas não abarcam todas as ricas experiências de uma vida errante, algo de playboy e cigano irresponsável. Mas uma vida cheia de charme, of course. Tampouco traça um panorama linear do que foi a arte pernambucana nos anos 70 e 80 — anos em que Paulo, no Diário de Pernambuco, comentou, divulgou e ajudou artistas locais e de outros estados. À Sombra da Casa ...
The Expectation of the Poor
"This is by far the most serious study undertaken by a Protestant missiologist on the Latin American base ecclesial communities. It is also one of the few studies that relates this extraordinary ecclesial phenomenon with its counterpart in Protestant history. The fact that Cook writes not only as a Protestant but as one identified with the evangelical tradition makes it all the more relevant. It should be required reading for everyone interested in the life and mission of the grassroots church in the Americas and in the renewal of local congregations everywhere."Orlando E. Costas, Andover Newton Theological School"The book is painstakingly researched, extraordinarily well written, and - in m...

Fetishes and Monuments
One hundred years ago in Brazil the rituals of Candomblé were feared as sorcery and persecuted as crime. Its cult objects were fearsome fetishes. Nowadays, they are Afro-Brazilian cultural works of art, objects of museum display and public monuments. Focusing on the particular histories of objects, images, spaces and persons who embodied it, this book portrays the historical journey from weapons of sorcery looted by the police, to hidden living stones, to public works of art attacked by religious fanatics that see them as images of the Devil, former sorcerers who have become artists, writers, and philosophers. Addressing this history as a journey of objectification and appropriation, the author offers a fresh, unconventional, and illuminating look at questions of syncretism, hybridity and cultural resistance in Brazil and in the Black Atlantic in general.
Westward Dharma
"Like seeds on the wind, Buddhist teachings continue to reach new lands. This outstanding book brings to light, in rich detail, the current flowering of Buddhism in the West. Long a world religion, Buddhism is now a global one."—Kenneth Kraft, author of The Wheel of Engaged Buddhism "Westward Dharma deserves a place on the growing bookshelf of contemporary Buddhist studies. Prebish and Baumann broaden our horizons from North America to the wider Western world, exploring key aspects of Buddhism's most recent geographical and cultural expansion."—Paul David Numrich, coauthor of Buddhists, Hindus, and Sikhs in America.
