Coleção Fênix de Literatura Fantástica - Volume 1
Este e-book é parte integrante da Coleção Fênix de Literatura Fantástica, uma iniciativa criada pelo escritor Richard Diegues e apoiado por dezenas de escritores e escritoras que cederam seus trabalhos para que a realização da obra fosse possível. A coleção foi criada durante a Crise Pandêmica do COVID0-19 onde as opções de cultura e lazer diminuíram por conta das medidas necessárias para proteção da população e prevenção na disseminação do vírus. O intuito foi criar uma opção de entretenimento para os leitores carentes de fontes de lazer que lhes permitissem enfrentar melhor essa terrível fase de confinamento pela qual todos passamos. A Literatura Fantástica não é uma fuga da realidade, mas pode ser um lugar especial para quem quer se distanciar por alguns instantes dela. Pensando nisso, resolvemos disponibilizar esse projeto onde a cada semana um novo volume é publicado. Esperamos, sinceramente, que esse trabalho seja apreciado e realmente ajude você a enfrentar esse momento de dúvidas, incertezas e ansiedade. Juntos, passaremos por isso! Vai passar!

Opportunities and Challenges for Environmental Sustainability: A Socioeconomic and Political Analysis
This report is a socioeconomic and political analysis of environmental sustainability in terms of the present state of the environment, what we can do to reverse the negative trends, and what the current and potential barriers are. First, it offers a background of the issue through a historical perspective. How we got here has a lot to do with how previous generations behaved towards the environment. Similarly, how we behave will determine the kind of environment future generations will have to contend with. It looks at the dynamics likely to impact the balance of nature. Also, because understanding what is biodiversity and why is it important are essential in order to grasp the concept of s...
After Palmares
In After Palmares, Marc A. Hertzman tells the rise, fall, and afterlives of Palmares, one of history’s largest and longest-lasting maroon societies. Forged during the seventeenth century by formerly enslaved Africans in what would become northeast Brazil, Palmares stood for a century, withstanding sustained attacks from two European powers. In 1695, colonial forces assassinated its most famous leader, Zumbi. Hertzman examines the remarkable ways that Palmares and its inhabitants lived on after Zumbi’s death, creating vivid portraits of those whose lives and voices scholars have often assumed are inaccessible. With an innovative approach to African languages, and paying close attention to place as well as African and diasporic spiritual beliefs, Hertzman reshapes our understanding of Palmares and Zumbi and advances a new framework for studying fugitive slave communities and marronage in the African diaspora.
Documentary Filmmaking in Contemporary Brazil
"Like Brazilian society, documentary filmmaking is undergoing transformation, becoming an increasingly inclusive and diverse field, intervening in the ongoing struggle for social justice and equal distribution of power. As the first English-language monograph to focus on this body of work, this book examines the ways in which contemporary documentaries explore the borders between centers and margins, visibilities and invisibilities, silences and speech, and forms of authority and their contestation. Centered on an eclectic cluster of documentaries -from ethnographic documentaries and indigenous videos to films concerned with social and criminal justice, including first-person, essayistic films - this book brings into view the transformations of both Brazilian society and filmmaking, ultimately examining the genre's preoccupation with archival content"--
Natural Partners
The stories included in this volume were published originally in IDBAmérica and tell of new approaches the people of Latin America and the Caribbean are taking to protect the rainforest, reduce erosion, conserve marine life, create protected areas, and ensure a better future for themselves and their families. These people are learning to sit down with former adversaries and work toward common goals, often finding that opening up their own minds to change is the toughest part.
