 EleArt - Elefantes e Arte em Viagem é uma obra cujo foco incide sobre a vida selvagem em ligação com a história humana, nomeadamente no que concerne à relação entre elefantes e arte rupestre San. A investigação pretende contribuir para a salvaguarda da vida natural e da cultura artística através do conhecimento, preservação e difusão de um legado vivo e único. Correlacionando a viagem elefantina e a sua ascendência na representação pictórica pelo povo San/Bosquímanos, EleArt propõe-se iluminar parte de uma relação prístina inspirando e impulsionando ações efetivas de educação e regeneração capazes de alavancar uma conservação animal e cultural de impacto positivo e memorável. Com prefácio de John Parkington e Ian Harmer o volume, de edição bilingue, é composto por dezenas de fotografias que ilustram a relação multissecular entre elefantes e povo San, ou seja, entre os denominados Filhos do Vento e o maior mamífero terrestre.

 Mark and Jay - also known as The Map Men - are an online sensation, whose irreverent and hilarious videos have charmed and captivated millions around the world. Now they bring you their debut book, all about the world’s worst maps. Some are decades old, some are centuries old, and some are so recent they’re still being published today (or yesterday, if you’re reading this tomorrow). They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you’re an avid map junkie or simply ‘map-curious’, each chapter uncovers a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour - as they attempt to answer the question: ‘What on earth happened here? ’ So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. Because the worst maps are the best maps.

To The Success Of Our Hopeless Cause (Pulitzer Prize Winner) - The Many Lives Of The Soviet Dissident Movement

de Benjamin Nathans

~~27,04€~~ 18,93€ 30% IMEDIATO

receba amanhã -

portes grátis

 Winner Of The 2025 General Nonfiction Pulitzer Prize Winner of the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize Beginning in the 1960s, the Soviet Union was unexpectedly confronted by a dissident movement that captured the world’s imagination. Demanding that the Kremlin obey its own laws, an improbable band of Soviet citizens held unauthorized public gatherings, petitioned in support of arrested intellectuals, and circulated banned samizdat texts. Soviet authorities arrested dissidents, subjected them to bogus trials and vicious press campaigns, sentenced them to psychiatric hospitals and labor camps, sent them into exile—and transformed them into martyred heroes. Against all odds, the dissident movement undermined the Soviet system and hastened its collapse. Taking its title from a toast made at dissident gatherings, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause is a definitive history of a remarkable group of people who helped change the twentieth century. Benjamin Nathans’s vivid narrative tells the dramatic story of the men and women who became dissidents—from Nobel laureates Andrei Sakharov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn to many others who are virtually unknown today. Drawing on diaries, memoirs, personal letters, interviews, and KGB interrogation records, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause reveals how dissidents decided to use Soviet law to contain the power of the Soviet state. This strategy, as one of them put it, was "simple to the point of genius: in an unfree country, they began to conduct themselves like free people." An extraordinary account of the Soviet dissident movement, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause shows how dissidents spearheaded the struggle to break free of the USSR’s totalitarian past, a struggle that continues in Putin’s Russia—and that illuminates other struggles between hopelessness and perseverance today. A "riveting history" (Wall Street Journal) of the Soviet dissident movement, which hastened the end of the USSR and still provides a model of opposition in Putin’s Russia—and beyond "A book about a past time that is very much a book for our time. . . . A story from which we all stand to learn as we face a new wave of authoritarianism."—Los Angeles Review of Books
