Tarsila
Há um mistério na biografia de uma das maiores artistas brasileiras. Por algum motivo, Tarsila do Amaral evitava falar do que se passou entre 1929 e 1935, e pouco se sabe sobre esse período. Eram os anos entreguerras, da tomada do poder por Vargas e também de mudanças na vida pessoal da artista. Mas o que aconteceu que lhe incomodava a memória? A busca por essa resposta iniciou uma investigação que mergulhou no ambiente da época, reconstruindo eventos dramáticos que marcaram a história de toda uma geração. Renata iluminou aspectos desconhecidos da vida de Tarsila, ampliou sua rede de contatos apontando amigos e caminhos e, o mais importante, supriu lacunas. Suas descobertas permitem enxergar novas Tarsilas na já velha conhecida, e revestem sua vida de novas cores. Excelente trabalho, fácil de ler, como um bom romance." MARY DEL PRIORE"
Trabalhos Artesanais Especial
A festa que celebra a ressurreição de Jesus Cristo é, na verdade, um dos dias santos mais importantes da religião cristã e uma das mais importantes comemorações do calendário judaico. Muitos dos hábitos ligados ao período pascal originam-se dos festivais pagãos da primavera, outros vêm da celebração do Pessach, ou Passover, a Páscoa judaica. Durante oito dias, é comemorado o êxodo dos israelitas do Egito durante o reinado do faraó Ramsés II, da escravidão para a liberdade. Um ritual de passagem, assim como a “passagem” de Cristo, da morte para a vida. Mas, para nós, além de toda a simbologia religiosa, a Páscoa também é “Dia de Coelhinho da Páscoa”, ou seja, época de comer chocolate até cansar e curtir a festa recheada de guloseimas preparadas com essa matéria-prima tão saborosa. Por isso, nas páginas a seguir, você vai desfrutar de ideias criadas exclusivamente para valorizar ainda mais essas delícias. E olhe que o resultado está mesmo de encher os olhos!

Dare Not Linger
‘I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.’ Long Walk to Freedom In 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of democratic South Africa. Five years later, he stood down. In that time, he and his government wrought the most extraordinary transformation, turning a nation riven by centuries of colonialism and apartheid into a fully functioning democ...

Unperson
In George Orwell?s 1984, an 'unperson' is someone who has been vaporized, whose record has been erased. Similarly, the North Korean defectors that Tim Franco chose to portray have decided to disappear, fleeing sometimes for ideological reasons and often out of despair. The road to South Korea is dangerous and can take years, across the many different borders with Mongolia, Laos, Thailand and China. The travels of the ones that do are filled with the fear of being arrested and sent back to labour camps. Having arrived in South Korea, they often struggle to find a new identity, lost between their North Korean past and South Korean future. 00Here, Tim Franco presents the stories of fifteen such 'unpersons'. Each portrait goes side by side with the story of how and why the subjects came to their radical decision to flee. In order to retrace their steps, Franco travelled to their crossing points, capturing the diversity of landscape that is the background of North Korean defection.
What Makes a Good Nurse

He provides those in the caring professions with an explanation of why and how nurses should strive to cultivate these virtues, as well as the implications of this for practice.

Todd R. Darling: American Idyll
A lyrical interrogation of the American Dream in Paterson, New Jersey Born and raised in New Jersey, Hong Kong-based American photographer Todd R. Darling (born 1967) photographed Paterson because it was a prototype for industrial cities. Inspired by local poets William Carlos Williams and Allen Ginsberg, Darling wandered the city crafting an allegory of America through the city of Paterson and her people. Paterson is the second most densely populated city in America after New York. 150,000 people comprising around 50 ethnic groups are packed into eight square miles. There are about 25 million people in America, living in small cities like Paterson. Founded in 1792 by Alexander Hamilton as a corporation, Paterson was ruled by corrupt industrialists who paid no taxes and crippled the city's development. The consequences of its corrupted origins ripple through it today. In black and white, American Idylldepicts a broken city that mirrors American society.
