Catolicismo social, pensamento humanista e outros exercícios de poder religioso no Brasil
Uma obra que contribui para o debate em torno da genealogia e da influência do catolicismo social no Brasil e de sua afinidade eletiva com o pensamento humanista. No contexto da Guerra Fria, as construções discursivas e as práticas disruptivas no interior da catolicidade reposicionaram a instituição ao lhe exigir um protagonismo político-social. Para entender parte desse processo, os autores propuseram-se a refletir sobre o vanguardismo do novo pensamento e ação católica no Brasil, sobre o papel dessa instituição ao mitigar conflitos polarizantes e sobre a ideia do crescimento econômico associado ao desenvolvimento humano. Foram reunidos também outros estudos para tratar dos exercícios do poder religioso na sociedade brasileira.

Nós Globais
A obra Nós Globais: Investigações em curso sobre Questões da Globalização reúne reflexões e resultados de um conjunto de investigações em curso na área dos Estudos Globais. Cada texto representa uma distinta entrada para fenómenos centrais do nosso tempo, todos eles remetendo para as profundas e intensas interações que se estabelecem hoje entre as diferentes regiões do planeta, lidas pela ótica das diferentes ciências sociais. Questões tão distintas como o fascínio por civilizações passadas e a sua reinterpretação, o turismo, a linguagem cinematográfica, os movimentos políticos conservadores, os desastres ambientais, a precariedade laboral ou os sem-abrigo permitem-nos pensar este novo mundo que vamos forjando a cada dia que passa. No seu conjunto, estes textos ajudam-nos a refletir sobre as mudanças que marcam o nosso tempo e sobre o modo como os Estudos Globais podem desenvolver perspetivas criativas e críticas para a compreensão e a intervenção neste novo mundo tão complexo e contraditório.
Competitive Spirits
For over four centuries the Catholic Church enjoyed a religious monopoly in Latin America in which potential rivals were repressed or outlawed. Latin Americans were born Catholic and the only real choice they had was whether to actively practice the faith. Taking advantage of the legal disestablishment of the Catholic Church between the late 1800s and the early 1900s, Pentecostals almost single-handedly built a new pluralist religious economy. By the 1950s, many Latin Americans were free to choose from among the hundreds of available religious "products," a dizzying array of religious options that range from the African-Brazilian religion of Umbanda to the New Age group known as the Vegetabl...
Einstein's Greatest Mistake
Widely considered the greatest genius of all time, Albert Einstein revolutionised our understanding of the cosmos with his general theory of relativity and helped to lead us into the atomic age. Yet in the final decades of his life he was also ignored by most working scientists, his ideas opposed by even his closest friends. This stunning downfall can be traced to Einstein's earliest successes and to personal qualities that were at first his best assets. Einstein's imagination and self-confidence served him well as he sought to reveal the universe's structure, but when it came to newer revelations in the field of quantum mechanics, these same traits undermined his quest for the ultimate truth. David Bodanis traces the arc of Einstein's intellectual development across his professional and personal life, showing how Einstein's confidence in his own powers of intuition proved to be both his greatest strength and his ultimate undoing. He was a fallible genius. An intimate and enlightening biography of the celebrated physicist, Einstein's Greatest Mistake reveals how much we owe Einstein today - and how much more he might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws.

Syrian and Lebanese Patricios in São Paulo
Syrian and Lebanese immigrants to Brazil chose to settle in urban areas, a marked contrast to many other migrant groups. In São Paulo, these newcomers embraced new lives as merchants, shopkeepers, and industrialists, making them a dominant force in the city's business sector. Oswaldo Truzzi's original work on these so-called patrícios changed the face of Brazilian studies. Now available in an English translation, Truzzi's pioneering book identifies the complex social paths blazed by Syrian and Lebanese immigrants and their descendants from the 1890s to the 1960s. He considers their relationships to other groups within São Paulo's kaleidoscopic mix of cultures. He also reveals the differences--real and perceived--between Syrians and Lebanese in terms of religious and ethnic affinities and in the economic sphere. Finally, he compares the two groups with their counterparts in the United States and looks at the wave of Lebanese Muslims to São Paulo that began in the 1960s.
