Tião Cacete e os 16 Odus Sagrados
“Mas ele é zica. E vai todo ninja por aí. Olha desconfiado pra todo lado. Ouve um barulho para, vai ver o que é. Cachorro late, fica ligeiro. Se tá no meio dos vivos, encara todo mundo. Olha dentro de bolsa. Enfia a cabeça em carro parado. Entra na casa dos outros na cara dura. O tempo todo assim, dia e noite. E a noite inteira, porque espírito não dorme.” O Tião Cacete é um exu, um espírito que incorpora em terreiros de candomblé. Depois de uma iniciação no seu terreiro, ele intui que algo de importante está pra acontecer, desconfiado do jogo de Ifá, o oráculo que é a base da cultura Iorubá. A visita de uma Orixá, divindade do panteão africano, confirma as suas suspeitas. A partir daí o Tião Cacete é lançado em uma aventura por todo o continente americano, o seu lar desde que foi arrancado da África pra ser escravo no Brasil, entre os humanos vivos, as almas, os seres da natureza e os próprios deuses. Conhecedor dos desejos e das vilezas do Homem, ele terá que ressignificar toda a sua vida, a sua morte, a diáspora, a escravidão e a própria história da humanidade pra salvar a raça da destruição. Ou então, deixar por bem que ela pereça!
Pot-Honey
The stingless bees are one of the most diverse, attractive, fascinating, conspicuous and useful of all the insect groups of the tropical world. This is a formidable and contentious claim but I believe it can be backed up. They are fifty times more species rich than the honey bees, the other tribe of highly eusocial bees. They are ubiquitous in the tropics and thrive in tropical cities. In rural areas, they nest in a diversity of sites and are found on the flowers of a broad diversity of crop plants. Their role in natural systems is barely studied but they almost certainly deserve that hallowed title of keystone species. They are popular with the general public and are greatly appreciated in zoos and gardens. The chapters of this book provide abundant further evidence of the ecological and economic importance of stingless bees.
Spanish Poetry of the Twentieth Century
Twentieth-century Spanish poetry has received comparatively little attention from critics writing in English. Andrew Debicki now presents the first English-language history published in the United States to examine the sweep of modern Spanish verse. More important, he is the first to situate Spanish poetry in the context of European modernity, to trace its trajectory from the symbolists to the postmodernists. Avoiding the rigid generational schemes and catalogs of names found in traditional Hispanic literary histories, Debicki offers detailed discussions of salient books and texts to construct an original and compelling view of his subject. He demonstrates that contemporary Spanish verse is ...

The effects of tourism on the ecology and natural environment of tourist destinations are hotly debated and research has expanded in the field of ecotourism and sustainability.
