Cura em nós
A solidão antiga fez-me cair de frente com as mãos amarradas nas costas. Eu queria aliviar as quedas, mas sozinho não se desatam certos nós (Maria). Paulo, Alfredo, Ziza e Claudinho, quatro origens e histórias distintas se encontram e fazem, juntos, um caminho para o desconhecido destino dentro de si mesmos. A revelação não se faz no trajeto complexo, mas na simplicidade das relações entre eles. Tudo isso em uma viagem para um local de natureza exuberante, onde uma guia muito especial os une para finalizar sua missão.

Energy Saving at Cities
Climate change is increasing due to the anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases. The majority of these are due to the production and consumption of energy. According to the latest estimates, global energy demand could triple by 2050, and by then, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. The challenge for future cities is the implementation of a mechanism that minimizes the need for injection of new energy resources in them, so that a high level of self-sufficiency can be achieved through the concept of circular economy, thus partially mitigating the impacts of climate change. Using solar energy today is considered to be one of the best solutions that can be installed in buildings to help with this issue. This book addresses several relevant aspects related to energy saving at cities, including a deep survey of research topics and scientific collaborations in energy saving. The main research topics carried out are related to sustainability, solar energy, the use of rooftops for energy generation, energy conversion from urban biomass or residues, wind energy, and public and private urban energy saving.
Entertaining Lisbon
During the decades leading up to 1910, Portugal saw vast material improvements under the guise of modernization while in the midst of a significant political transformation - the establishment of the Portuguese First Republic.

These theatrical forms became an important site for the display of modernity, and the representation of a new national identity. Author Jo o Silva argues that the rise of these genres is inextricably bound to the complex process through which ...

The São Paulo Law School and the Anti-Vargas Resistance (1938-1945)
The São Paulo Law School, the oldest institution of higher learning in Brazil, has long been the chief training center for that country’s leadership. For the members of the school’s secret Burschenschaft society, the training consisted principally in leading demonstrations for liberal causes, such as the abolition of slavery and the overthrow of the monarchy. During the Old Republic (1889–1930), the Brazilian presidency and other high posts in Rio de Janeiro were usually occupied by alumni of the powerful society, while its members in São Paulo continued to agitate for political reform. But in the 1920s, when they formed the Nationalist League and the Democratic Party, schisms result...
