Book Description
De maneira divertida e pitoresca, o autor narra suas memórias da infância no Egito, das reuniões de família e os aromas dos pratos preparados por sua mãe aos sons e imagens da vida egípcia daquela época. O autor, então, nos leva em seu amargo êxodo do Egito para o Brasil. Ele compartilha com o leitor seus primeiros desafios naquela terra desconhecida e fala sobre sua vida no Rio de Janeiro e, posteriormente, no Canadá. Finalmente, ele encerra sua jornada em Boston, nos Estados Unidos, após a oferta de uma transferência definitiva para a sede da companhia naquela cidade. Ele, então, discorre sobre sua árdua ascensão na empresa, de passo em passo, afiando suas habilidades de gerenciamento a cada etapa e culminando com sua chegada ao topo da carreira corporativa. Ali, ele aprendeu a lidar com seu Conselho de Administração, banqueiros de investimento e analistas de Wall Street. Este garoto de Alexandria nos convida a penetrar seus pensamentos mais profundos, mostrando-nos como conseguiu desenvolver um novo conceito de vida, seu significado e propósito, graças à Logosofia, a ciência do autoconhecimento. Por fim, ele nos oferece suas conclusões, após vinte anos de investigação, sobre “As Origens da Antiga Civilização Egípcia” e “Quem Foram os Judeus”.

Book Description
This is the Histories, volume two, of the Portuguese English Bilingual Bible book series. It is in English and Portuguese, two of the top ten most widely spoken languages on Earth. It is the King James Version and Almeida Recebida translations, good and accurate translations for learning either language, as well as having a correct and reliable translation from the received texts of the Holy Bible itself. The translators relied on "formal equivalence" to preserve phrasing and literal content from the Hebrew and Greek documents. This present volume is divided in columns for each language, with each corresponding verse line matching its equal on the opposite side of the page. The font size and style is easy to read. Typo's and the rare instance of missing information (such as superscriptions above psalms and colophons ending epistles) have been translated from English to Portuguese, and in some cases Hebrew into Portuguese, by Alan Lewis Silva, who has lovingly and carefully edited this wonderful book.

Book Description
Combining archival research, oral history and long-term ethnography, this book studies relations between Amerindians and outsiders, such as American missionaries, through a series of contact expeditions that led to the 'pacification' of three native Amazonian groups in Suriname and French Guiana. The author examines and contrasts Amerindian and non-Amerindian views on this process of social transformation through the lens of the body, notions of peacefulness and kinship, as well as native warfare and shamanism. The book addresses questions of change and continuity, and the little explored links between first contacts, capture and native conversion to Christianity in contemporary indigenous Amazonia.

Book Description
Latin American women’s movements played important roles in the democratic transitions in South America during the 1980s and in Central America during the 1990s. However, very little has been written on what has become of these movements and their agendas since the return to democracy. This timely collection examines how women’s movements have responded to the dramatic political, economic, and social changes of the last twenty years. In these essays, leading scholar-activists focus on the various strategies women’s movements have adopted and assess their successes and failures. The book is organized around three broad topics. The first, women’s access to political power at the national level, is addressed by essays on the election of Michelle Bachelet in Chile, gender quotas in Argentina and Brazil, and the responses of the women’s movement to the “Bolivarian revolution” in Venezuela. The second topic, the use of legal strategies, is taken up in essays on women’s rights across the board in Argentina, violence against women in Brazil, and gender in the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Peru. Finally, the international impact of Latin American feminists is explored through an account of their participation in the World Social Forum, an assessment of a Chilean-led project carried out by women’s organizations in several countries to hold governments to the promises they made at international conferences in Cairo and Beijing, and an account of cross-border organizing to address femicides and domestic abuse in the Juárez-El Paso border region. Jane S. Jaquette provides the historical and political context of women’s movement activism in her introduction, and concludes the volume by engaging contemporary debates about feminism, civil society, and democracy.
