Este meu livro, sucintamente intitulado “A crise do liberalismo”, ocupa o lugar cimeiro da minha biografia intelectual. Trata-se de uma obra que foi aprofundadamente estudada e, direi mesmo, intensamente sofrida. Sofrida, bem entendido, no sentido fecundante de ter sido uma obra que a mim próprio obrigou a persistentes investigações e a longas reflexões que me conduziram à revisão de muitas perspectivas relativas à sociedade contemporânea portuguesa, isto é, à sociedade transformada pelas leis do sistema capitalista e dominada pela classe burguesa. Victor de Sá A Crise do Liberalismo e as primeiras manifestações das ideias socialistas em Portugal (1820-1852) (1ª ed., 1969) ...
Magnificent and Beggar Land is a powerful account of fast-changing dynamics in Angola, an important African state that is a key exporter of oil and diamonds and a growing power on the continent. Based on three years of research and extensive first-hand knowledge of Angola, it documents the rise of a major economy and its insertion in the international system since it emerged in 2002 from one of Africa's longest and deadliest civil wars. The government, backed by a strategic alliance with China and working hand in glove with hundreds of thousands of expatriates, many from the former colonial power, Portugal, has pursued an ambitious agenda of state-led national reconstruction. This has result...

Capoeira evolved as a Brazilian martial art developed initially by that country’s African slaves. Marked by deft, deceptive movements played on the ground or completely inverted, the form started gaining worldwide popularity in the early 20th century, when this second volume of Gerard Taylor’s wide-ranging history begins. The book opens with a study of the capoeira “Bamba,” Mestre Bimba, who became renowned as a fighting champion in Bahia and opened the first legal academy during the dictatorship of Getulio Vargas. Taylor investigates the dramatic development of the schism that resulted in the competing styles of Regional and Angola. Moving into contemporary capoeira, the author prov...

Carbohydrates are extremely abundant bio-molecules; they are on all mammalian cell surfaces as well as on bacterial cell surfaces. In mammals most secreted proteins are glycosylated, with the glycan component comprising a significant amount by mass of the glycoprotein. Although, many years ago carbohydrate-protein recognition events were demonstrated as involved in invertebrate self-non self recognition, the contribution of carbohydrate-protein binding events to the mechanisms of the mammalian immune response was not embraced with the same enthusiasm. Adaptive immunity and the contribution of antibodies, T cells and T-lymphocyte sub-sets and protein antigen presentation dominated immunologic...
