A quebra dos grilhões
"O título do livro A quebra dos grilhões: devoção mercedária e crioulização em Minas Gerais (1740-1840) já indica ao leitor que a perspectiva da autora vai além da fundação ou do funcionamento institucional da Irmandade de Nossa Senhora das Mercês ou do regramento missionário, religioso ou festivo da Ordem mercedária na América portuguesa. Vanessa Teixeira, no título, refere-se ao imaginário da experiência, ou da luta, das liberdades que animavam a devoção — a quebra das correntes do cativeiro temporal e espiritual. (...) Romper os grilhões da alma e do corpo na representação devocional pública." Francisco Eduardo de Andrade Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto"

Entre ruas, sobrados e a praça
Fundamentada em documentação rica e inédita, esta obra oferece ao leitor perspectivas inovadoras sobre o Brasil nas primeiras décadas do século XIX, contribuindo para iluminar de modo original momento peculiar da história brasileira.Distanciando-se das versões banalizadas, o autor demonstra não só a complexidade da sociedade que havia se constituído na América portuguesa, como também procura abordar as mediações entre práticas políticas coloniais, muitas das quais reforçadas pela atuação da Corte joanina no Rio de Janeiro, e as transformações que essas práticas sofreram a partir de 1808.
Morte e Simbolismo na Cultura Ocidental
Atualmente a temática da morte e do morrer vem se destacando no cenário científico. Isso pode ser comprovado pelo crescente de publicações de artigos científicos, trabalhos de conclusão de curso, dissertações e teses em diversas áreas das ciências humanas e sociais. Nunca se versou tanto sobre esse assunto como agora. Com o intuito de aprofundar ainda mais as reflexões e debates sobre a temática, lançamos esta obra. Pretendemos dar continuidade e contribuir para a reflexão de assuntos que já vem sendo pesquisados sobre a temática, tais como: a religiosidade, cultural visual, arqueologia, cultura material, valorizando a visão de diferentes campos do conhecimento.

Born to Die
The biological mingling of the Old and New Worlds began with the first voyage of Columbus. The exchange was a mixed blessing: it led to the disappearance of entire peoples in the Americas, but it also resulted in the rapid expansion and consequent economic and military hegemony of Europeans. Amerindians had never before experienced the deadly Eurasian sicknesses brought by the foreigners in wave after wave: smallpox, measles, typhus, plague, influenza, malaria, yellow fever. These diseases literally conquered the Americas before the sword could be unsheathed. From 1492 to 1650, from Hudson's Bay in the north to southernmost Tierra del Fuego, disease weakened Amerindian resistance to outside domination. The Black Legend, which attempts to place all of the blame of the injustices of conquest on the Spanish, must be revised in light of the evidence that all Old World peoples carried, though largely unwittingly, the germs of the destruction of American civilization.
Advances in Automatic Text Summarization
ntil now there has been no state-of-the-art collection of themost important writings in automatic text summarization. This bookpresents the key developments in the field in an integrated frameworkand suggests future research areas. With the rapid growth of the World Wide Web and electronic information services, information is becoming available on-line at an incredible rate. One result is the oft-decried information overload. No one has time to read everything, yet we often have to make critical decisions based on what we are able to assimilate.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Second Edition
Since the original publication of this seminal work, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has come into its own as a widely practiced approach to helping people change. This book provides the definitive statement of ACT--from conceptual and empirical foundations to clinical techniques--written by its originators. ACT is based on the idea that psychological rigidity is a root cause of a wide range of clinical problems. The authors describe effective, innovative ways to cultivate psychological flexibility by detecting and targeting six key processes: defusion, acceptance, attention to the present moment, self-awareness, values, and committed action. Sample therapeutic exercises and patient-therapist dialogues are integrated throughout. New to This Edition *Reflects tremendous advances in ACT clinical applications, theory building, and research. *Psychological flexibility is now the central organizing focus. *Expanded coverage of mindfulness, the therapeutic relationship, relational learning, and case formulation. *Restructured to be more clinician friendly and accessible; focuses on the moment-by-moment process of therapy.
