Educação, democracia & diretos humanos
A presente obra é resultado das atividades de pesquisa do Grupo Interdisciplinar de Estudos Culturais e Linguagens na Contemporaneidade – GIECLC, da Linha de Pesquisa Culturas e Artes na Contemporaneidade do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Arte e História da Cultura da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (PPGEAHC/UPM) e a Rede Internacional de Pesquisa em História e Culturas Contemporâneas (RIPHCC), com o apoio do Mack Pesquisa – Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa e Inovação. Os textos presentes nesta coletânea versam sobre as articulações entre Educação, Democracia e Educação, como pautas urgentes para a contemporaneidade. Assim, a ideia é propor um canal de diálogo e reflexão sobre o nosso conturbado contexto atual, a partir das experiências e perspectivas de diferentes pesquisadores
Ciências Humanas no olho do furacão
As relações e diálogos estabelecidos entre arte, cultura e política são objetos do segundo volume da coletânea “Ciências Humanas no Olho do Furacão”, que sucede o primeiro volume que tratou das “tensões & problemas contemporâneos” e foi organizado por Luciana Biffi e Mônica Abed Zaher, em 2020. As relações mencionadas são retomadas, neste novo volume, devido ao anseio de compreensão e análise acerca do processo da junção arte-pensamento, a fim de incidir nas formas pelas quais, historicamente, temos empreendido o esforço de debater como o ser humano pensa e fábrica o mundo nos termos desses três pilares que apontam para as mais diversas formas, ações e concepç...
Don Juan's Bar
"This amazing "revolutionary" novel is full of surprises -- not the least being that its author is a middle-aged Brazilian "man of letters" rather than some youthful wild-eyed Maoist. It glides with amazing dash and brio from torture chamber to love affair, more with the elegant grace of a minuet than with the terror of people who almost all lose their lives in failed attempts to reach Che's small guerrilla band in the Bolivian foothills. There's no sense of tragedy, only the offhand, almost humorous, way in which middle-class intellectual revolutionaries are likely to die: a bank robber turning his eye from the cashier at a crucial moment because he spots a friend stuffing stolen money from...

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.
In Search of the Amazon
Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.

Rome in Africa
Nearly three thousand years ago the Phoenicians set up trading colonies on the coast of North Africa, and ever since successive civilizations have been imposed on the local inhabitants, largely from outside. Carthaginians, Romans, vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, TUrks, French and Italians have all occupied the region in their time. The Romans governed this part of Africa for six hundred cities, twelve thousand miles of roads and hundreds of aquaducts, some fifty miles long. The remains of many of these structures can be seen today. At the height of its prosperity, during the second and third centuries AD, the area was the granary of Rome, and produced more olive oil than Italy itself. The broadening horizons of the Roman Empire provided scope for the particular talents of a number of Africa's sons: the writers Terence and Apuleius; the first African Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, famous Christian theologians like Tertulllian and Saint Augustine - these are just some who rose to meet the challenges of their age.
