Structural Geomorphology in Northeastern Brazil
This book presents the characteristics and limitations of geological units, Cenozoic and geochronological concepts. It studies landscape aspects developed from research in areas with proved Cenozoic tectonic activity, such as the Potiguar basin, located between the states of Ceara and Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The analytical focus involves the relationship between tectonics and landscapes in different scales, in hills or karsts, or regional, in basins, and massifs.
Landscapes and Landforms of Brazil
This book presents Brazil as a country of continental dimensions. Its territory has a large variety of rock types, geological structures and climates. The country has a large variety of landscapes, such as the humid plains of the Amazon River, the dry plateaus of the semi-arid region or the subtropical mountains of the southern region. On the coast, some plateaus and mountains, like the Serra do Mar Mountain range, formed a significant barrier front to access the hinterland of Brazil. On the other side of these coastal plateaus and mountains, there is a large collection of other plateaus, mountains, plains and depressions little altered by human interference. Thus, Brazil has a unique variety of different landscapes and extraordinary geomorphological sites. The book invites readers to learn more about the beautiful Brazilian landscapes, their complexity and vastness.
Landforms and Landscape Evolution of the Equatorial Margin of Northeast Brazil
More than a simple monograph, the authors present a comprehensive geomorphic overview of a large tropical region where they show how deciphering the long-term landform evolution helps understanding the present set of landscapes and morphodynamic environments. The Equatorial margin of the Brazilian “Nordeste” displays stratigraphic landmarks whose interpretation reveals the age and nature of landforms, leading to a reconstruction of the geomorphic history by the means of combined morphostratigraphic and morphopedological approaches. Beyond the role of differential erosion related to moderate post-oceanic opening uplift, the plain and upland landscape reflects a juxtaposition of landform and soil generations related to a shallow basin inversion, the last stages of which occurred in semi-arid conditions since the Oligocene. These results throw light on old debates on models of long-term landform development in platform areas, and also help evaluating recent models of denudation and burial based on thermochronological methods.
Paisagens da geomorfologia
Paisagens da geomorfologia –organizado por Antonio José Teixeira Guerra e Hugo Alves Soares Loureiro – destaca o que há de mais atual e avançado em termos de conceitos, processos, formas, técnicas e preocupações nas principais temáticas basilares da geomorfologia. Inspirado em Geomorfologia: uma atualização de bases e conceitos – organizado por Antonio José Teixeira Guerra e Sandra Baptista da Cunha; pioneiro e até hoje uma das principais referências do país sobre o tema –, os capítulos deste Paisagens da geomorfologia conectam as análises a partir da geomorfologia e contrapõem suas diferentes possibilidades de abordagem. Os autores tratam de grandes temas e conceitos...

Sertão, sertões
Canudos — sua gente, sua terra, suas lutas, seus dissensos instauradores — continua em disputa. Se Canudos e os conselheiristas foram feitos inimigos da República brasileira, do progresso e do desenvolvimento, seus sobreviventes — sobreviventes, não vítimas — espalharam-se como sementes de resistência. Por isso, voltamos a Canudos e às suas lutas. Não para reconstruir o tempo de Antonio Conselheiro como monumento imóvel e petrificado. Trata-se de reconhecer, lá e aqui, o esforço de reavivar "as centelhas da esperança" acesas pela tradição de rebeldia dos pobres, dos trabalhadores, dos oprimidos, que, ao escavar a própria história, vão construindo um modo de ser e de ex...
