O que muda no nosso cérebro quando nos apaixonamos? E quando sofremos um desgosto de amor? Existem diferenças entre os cérebros masculinos e femininos quando as pessoas se enamoram? E quando envelhecem? Em "Programados para Amar", a neurocientista Luísa V. Lopes dá resposta a estas e a outras questões, partilhando o que a neurociência sabe sobre o amor, de forma acessível, mas rigorosa. E, claro não esquece temas como a infidelidade, a violência, o impacto da tecnologia no amor moderno e as alterações cerebrais na terceira idade. Ao longo destas páginas, reencontramos a emoção mais universal de todas, habitualmente descrita por poetas e pensadores, mas aqui com o precioso e esclarecedor auxílio da ciência. Quem nunca sentiu o coração bater mais forte, ou perdeu o sono e o apetite por causa de uma paixão, mais ou menos correspondida? A ciência ajuda a explicar aquilo que muitas vezes não conseguimos expressar por palavras, mas, neste livro, Luísa V. Lopes não se limita a descrever o funcionamento do cérebro nas várias fases do amor e da dor. Em "Programados para Amar" ajuda os leitores a refletirem sobre as experiências e relações que vivem, ou viveram, e a compreenderem, de modo mais global, o que significa, afinal, amar e ser amado.

Dizem os especialistas que a descoberta do mundo começa logo na barriga da mãe. Lá dentro, aconchegados, já ouvimos música, reconhecemos vozes, acompanhamos ao segundo as emoções maternas. Mas é como se todas as descobertas aguardassem por uma confirmação… uma confirmação que chega no dia em que nascemos. Aí sim, começa a grande aventura. Do respirar, do provar, do sentir… Pelas páginas deste livro desfilam algumas das descobertas que nos fizeram (e fazem) espantar. Descobertas tão simples como a cor que pinta o fundo do mar, o som de uma folha ao pousar no chão, ou o cheiro das férias quando chega o verão. Um livro que dá as boas-vindas a todos os bebés.

Visit product page →the social and political milieu of nineteenth-century Brazil. These signature traits are on full display in Quincas Borba, a novel that sees Machado satirize a rapidly changing Rio de Janeiro.
Originally published in 1891, the story begins with the death of its titular character, a mad philosopher infamous for spouting pessimistic theories of “Humanitism.” Borba leaves his fortune—including his dog, also named Quincas Borba—to Rubião, his loyal caretaker and a schoolteacher by trade. Bestowed with opulence beyond his wildest dreams, Rubião is quickly coaxed into the comforts of a rich man’s life—the only stipulation being that he continues to care for the canine Quincas Borba with the same dedication he once did the human. Adrift in the big, bad, bustling world of late-1860s Rio de Janeiro, it isn’t long before Rubião is targeted by the city’s sycophants, who can smell his naïveté from a mile away.
Playfully told by an omniscient and possibly unreliable narrator, the novel is at once irreverent and ambitious, brimming with barbed wit and keen philosophical inquiry. Brilliantly translated by Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson—the duo credited with introducing a new generation of readers to Machado through their translations of Dom Casmurro, The Collected Stories, and Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas—Quincas Borba is another strikingly modern tale from a blazing progenitor of twentieth-century fiction.Language English Print length 352 pages ISBN-10 1324096705 ISBN-13 978-1324096702 -

As primeiras palavras do Papa Francisco calaram fundo no coração de milhões de fiéis.
A escolha do colégio de Cardeais surpreendeu o mundo e abriu três precedentes inesperados. Jorge Mario Bergoglio é o primeiro Papa oriundo da América Latina. É também o primeiro jesuíta a ser eleito para o mais alto cargo da Igreja Católica e o primeiro a escolher o nome “Francisco” em honra de S. Francisco de Assis, um exemplo máximo de humildade e abnegação.
Rezem por Mim – Citações do Papa Francisco revela-nos o essencial do pensamento deste Papa extraordinário. De temas tão polémicos como a eutanásia, o aborto ou o casamento entre pessoas do mesmo sexo a conceitos fundamentais do Cristianismo como o amor, a família, a dignidade e a fé, este é um livro obrigatório para todos – religiosos ou não – os que desejam conhecer o homem que está a revolucionar a Igreja e a renovar a fé e a esperança um pouco por todo o mundo. -

Pode fazer todo o exercício que quiser e seguir as últimas dietas e tendências de saúde: se não estiver a respirar bem, nada faz efeito. Nada é mais essencial para a saúde e o bem-estar do que a respiração. E parece simples: basta inspirar, expirar, e repetir cerca de 25 000 vezes por dia. Mas os seres humanos esqueceram-se de como se respira corretamente e isso traz graves consequências. A pesquisa mais recente nas áreas da Bioquímica, da Pneumologia e da Fisiologia demonstra que mesmo ligeiras alterações à forma como inspiramos e expiramos podem ajudar a melhorar o desempenho atlético e a postura, rejuvenescer o organismo e combater o ressonar, a alergia, a asma e as doenças autoimunes.Uma leitura fascinante que vai transformar tudo aquilo que pensa que sabe sobre o mais básico e fundamental dos nossos gestos. Respire fundo leia com atenção e transforme a sua vida!

About Author
James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Outside Magazine, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, The New York Times, Scientific American, Dwell Magazine, The San Francisco Chronicle, and more.
Nestor’s book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was released through Riverhead/Penguin Random House on May 26, 2020. Breath spent 18 weeks of the New York Times bestseller list in the first year of publication and was an instant bestseller in the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Sunday London Times, and more. Breath was awarded the Best General Nonfiction Book of 2020 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors and was a Finalist for the Royal Society Science Book of the Year. Breath has sold more than two million copies and has been translated into more than 35 languages.
Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly over the past several hundred thousand years and is now suffering from a laundry list of maladies — snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease — because of it. Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo.
Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.

English Summary
Much has been written about April 25, 1974 and the birth of Portuguese democracy. However, after 50 years, the memory of the Revolution continues to provoke intense debates, among enthusiastic celebrations, critical and even condemning readings, as demonstrated by the recent controversy around November 25.
In this context, it becomes imperative to return to history, understand the role of the military, politicians and civil society and revisit the choices, dilemmas and hopes of a decisive time.
This book offers the reader a rigorous and accessible perspective, revealing the complexity of the revolutionary process and the richness of a legacy that continues to mark democratic life in Portugal.

Role Play is a searing satire narrated by a wealthy young woman in Rio on the verge of a class-consciousness awakening.
Vivian is a curator, not just at her gallery gig in Rio de Janeiro, but in every aspect of her life. Her apartment has designer armchairs. Her wallet is Comme des Garçons. Everything is selected and arranged, even her lovers and friends. In Vivian’s world, everything comes in excess, including her own caustic selfawareness. As she informs us, “I’m a misandrist and a misogynist,” but she is fond of gay men, “the one type of human you can properly get along with as equals.”
Role Play examines the superabundances of Brazilian elites— their art, ethics, and monied ambivalence in the face of social inequality, machismo, and violence. As sharp and sparkling as broken champagne flutes, Clara Drummond’s prose is seductively frank and unflinching in its depiction of wealth’s power to warp the selfPublisher: Farrar, Straus And GirouxShipping dimensions: 8" H x 5" W x 0" LISBN: 9780374611286Langauge: EnglishLength: 128 -
