Um retrato cru e épico do Portugal do século XX pela mão de um dos romancistas mais promissores da literatura portuguesa contemporânea. Cabe quase tudo num século de vida de um povo. Naufrágios e glórias, luz e trevas, gente levantada e de joelhos. E, durante todos esses anos, a maré sobe e desce. Há um país que se vai transformando, mesmo visto de longe. Há homens em fuga para a frente, que trocam de nome e de moral. Há mulheres de dentes cerrados. Há filhos deixados para trás. Meadas de histórias e de sangues às quais se perdeu o fio. Num romance sem heróis, onde todos lutam, sobrevivem e morrem a tentar ser livres, é possível, embora vão, tentar destrinçar, no meio do...

In today’s world, healthy aging and a fulfilling lifestyle are important to older members of society, with many opting to remain as independent and mobile as possible for as long as possible. However, elderly individuals tend to have a variety of functional limitations that can increase the likelihood of debilitating falls and injuries. Assessments of functionality are very often only performed following an accident, which implies a hindsight bias because results do not necessarily reflect pre-accidental performance capacities. Furthermore, these belated measures do little to reduce the likelihood of new falls. As such, it is imperative that personalized preventative approaches are taken t...

On December 20, 1999, the city of Macau became a Special Administrative Region of China after nearly four hundred and fifty years of Portuguese administration. Drawing extensively on Portuguese and other sources and on interviews with key participants, this book examines the strategies and policies adopted by the Portuguese government during the negotiations. The study sets these events within the larger context of Portugal's retreat from empire, the British experience with Hong Kong, and changing social and political conditions within Macau. A weak player on the international stage, Portugal was still able to obtain concessions during the negotiations, notably in the timing of the retrocession and continuing Portuguese nationality arrangements for some Macau citizens. Yet the tendency of Portuguese leaders to use the Macau question as a tool in their domestic political agendas hampered their ability to develop an effective strategy and left China with the freedom to control the process of negotiation.
