Book Description
The aim of this book is to analyse the current development scenario in the Amazon, using Terra Preta de Índio as a case study. To do so it is necessary to go back in time, both in the national and international sphere, through the second half of the last century to analyse its trajectory. It will be equally important analyse the current issues regarding the Amazon – sustainable development and climate change – and how they still reproduce some of the problems that marked the history of the forest, such as the absence of Amazonian dark earths as a relevant theme to the Amazon. In a world in which the environment gains each time more space in the national and international political agenda, the Amazon stands out. Known around the world for its richness, the South-American forest is the target of different visions, often contradictory ones, and it plays with everyone’s imagination. This is where the terra preta de índio – Amazonian Dark Earths - are found, a fertile soil horizon with high concentrations of carbon with anthropic origins, which has generated great interest from the scientific community. Studies on these soils and their so singular characteristics have triggered crucial discussions on the past, present and the future of the entire Amazon region. Despite its singular characteristics, the importance of Amazonian Dark Earths – and a history of a more productive and populated Amazon – was hidden since its discovery around 1880 until 1980, when it is possible to identify the beginning of an increase in the number of research on these soil horizons. These hundred years between the first records and the beginning of the increase in the interest around these soils witnessed structural changes both in the national arena, with the military dictatorship and a change in the place of the Amazon within internal affairs, and in the international arena with changes that reshaped the role of the environment in the political and scientific agendas and the role of Brazil in the global context.

Book Description
How extreme-right antidemocratic governments around the world are prioritizing profits over citizens, stoking catastrophic wildfires, and accelerating global climate change. Recent years have seen out-of-control wildfires rage across remote Brazilian rainforests, densely populated California coastlines, and major cities in Australia. What connects these separate events is more than immediate devastation and human loss of life. In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith contends that using fire as a symbolic and literal thread connecting different places around the world allows us to better understand the parallel, and related, trends of the growth of authoritarian politics and climate crises and their interconnected global consequences. Darian-Smith looks deeply into each of these three cases of catastrophic wildfires and finds key similarities in all of them. As political leaders and big business work together in the pursuit of profits and power, anti-environmentalism has become an essential political tool enabling the rise of extreme right governments and energizing their populist supporters. These are the governments that deny climate science, reject environmental protection laws, and foster exclusionary worldviews that exacerbate climate injustice. The fires in Australia, Brazil and the United States demand acknowledgment of the global systems of inequality that undergird them, connecting the political erosion of liberal democracy with the corrosion of the environment. Darian-Smith argues that these wildfires are closely linked through capitalism, colonialism, industrialization, and resource extraction. In thinking through wildfires as environmental and political phenomenon, Global Burning challenges readers to confront the interlocking powers that are ensuring our future ecological collapse.

Book Description
The technological advances of the past century have been extraordinary, particularly in areas like information technology and artificial intelligence. These leaps can be traced back to the Age of Enlightenment, which emphasized reason and science over tradition. However, this period also gave rise to materialism, leading to the entrenchment of theories like Darwinian evolution in academia, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. This adherence to dogma has led to "scientism"—the overreach of science beyond its capabilities. True science should acknowledge its limits, remain open to evidence, and not suppress alternate perspectives. Science and Christianity are not incompatible; science reveals the complexity and design of God's creation, reflecting the innovation of the Divine Mind. Volume II explores significant trends in Science and Technology as "Burning Bushes," relating them to the Christian faith. It covers compelling topics such as Quantum Mechanics, Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence, DNA, and other evidential support challenging traditional Darwinian Evolution, the science of the Human Body, Transhumanism and Humanity 2.0, Decentralization and Web3 (including digital currencies and Bitcoin), and technological doomsday scenarios. Each chapter provides pragmatic, biblical, and actionable recommendations. The book aims to provide a holistic, scientifically sound, and biblically integrated perspective on emerging technologies' promises and challenges. It seeks to correct scientifically inconsistent approaches that sidestep Intelligent Design as well as purpose. By exploring these themes, the book offers a balanced view that acknowledges both the potential and perils of rapid technological advancement, grounded in a factual, meaningful, and scientifically grounded worldview.
