A Mulher-Sem-Cabeça e o Homem-do-Mau-Olhado são dois entre tantos personagens peculiares que habitam esse novo universo criado por Gonçalo M. Tavares: as Mitologias. Enquanto a Revolução, liderada pelo Homem-Mais-Alto, percorre a cidade, diversas narrativas se cruzam, em confrontos entre a lógica e o absurdo, o humano e a máquina, a ciência e o mito. Recuperando as narrativas orais, mas sem abandonar o estilo que o consagrou, Gonçalo alcança uma dimensão de originalidade poucas vezes vista.

Social Forestry: Tending the Land as People of Place is a must-have for anyone wanting to have a reciprocating relationship with their communities, themselves, and most importantly their awe-inspiring forests and landscapes. Social Forestry connects villages and communities to their forests and adjoining bodies of water. It includes forest management, protection, and regeneration of deforested lands with the objective of improving the rural, environmental, and social development. Through ecological assessment, carbon sequestration, and generating wildcrafts, people re-establish their wonder in the woods. Author Tomi Hazel Vaarde, collaborator of Siskiyou Permaculture, uses poetry,  photographs, drawings, and data to outline philosophies and concepts of Social Forestry. By weaving culturally sensitive stories, myths, and lessons from a range of customs and traditions including North American Indigenous communities and Vaarde's own Quaker upbringing, Vaarde explores how holistic land and community management approaches can facilitate resolution of some of our most dire local and global crises. The writer's work is critical to overcoming eco-grief while instilling necessary changes to the West Coast landscape for fire mitigation and restoration of complex forest systems for generations to come. Many indigenous peoples have learned regenerative management by living for generations in and with a sense of place, but few examples of whole-system planning and participation are evident in modern society. Climate adaptation, human survival, and conservation efforts to maintain biodiversity that supports life on Earth require radical, back-to-the-roots grounding and intentional dedication. Social Forestry helps readers remember the ways of the wild while implementing local food production, collaboration with conservation efforts, forest management, and stabilization of headwaters to build resilience for the long term. To live in harmony with our surroundings, we need to re-skill, always remembering those who came before us and acting in ways that honor traditional wisdom of people and place.  Social Forestry includes 31 4-color posters and 54 images.

Explore the Essential Teachings of the Ancients Serving as a theological basis for major world religions such as Christianity and Islam, the Hermetica has had an influence on Western culture that cannot be overstated. The collection of Greek texts-attributed by some to the legendary Hellenistic god Hermes Trismegistus (literally, Hermes the thrice great) in second-century Alexandria-is said to represent the divine philosophical and mystical practices of the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt (around 3000 BCE). In this creative, approachable introduction to the central ideas and essential teachings of the Hermetica, authors Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy offer a profoundly inspiring gateway to understanding and appreciating the profound wisdom of the ancients. Following an enlightening historical overview of the material contained in the massive Corpus Hermeticum, Freke and Gandy present a diverse sampling of Hermetic thought with extracts of Hermes's beautiful, poetic writings on topics including creation, the cosmos, human culture, prophecies, the Zodiac, incarnation of the soul, death, and immortality, and others. Along with each free-verse extract, the authors provide helpful commentary that explains the original text and places it in context for modern readers. An invaluable resource for initiates in Hermetic studies or anyone seeking a deeper understanding of human spirituality, mysticism, and consciousness, this book belongs on the bookshelves of any who seek a greater awareness of humanity's place in the cosmos. Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy are also the celebrated authors of The Jesus Mysteries, Jesus and the Lost Goddess, and The Laughing Jesus, as well as many other books on world spirituality.
