This is the first English-language translation of the culmination of the life work of Darcy Ribeiro, one of Brazil's leading twentieth-century intellectuals, known internationally both for his work in Indian affairs and for his political activism. First published as O Povo Brasileiro in 1995, two years before Ribeiro's death, it quickly became a controversial best-seller. Offering a sweeping overview of the ethnic, racial, and social forces that shape Brazilian culture and society, the book presents no less than an aesthetic of the Brazilian people as a whole. While Ribeiro dwells on the paradox of Brazil as a country of immense potential hindered by racial and class prejudice, he also says it is "the most beautiful and luminous province on earth". Elegantly translated by the acclaimed Gregory Rabassa, this work does justice to Ribeiro's original Portuguese text, with all its idiosyncrasies, intrinsic poetry, epic hyperbole, and departures from contemporary U.S. norms of political correctness. It will be of immense significance to all those interested in Latin American culture, anthropology, sociology, and history as well as in the theory of culture.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people ages 15-24, accounting for 17% of all deaths in this age group. Yet completed suicides are just the tip of the iceberg. More than 5000 middle and high school students have a suicide attempt each day, and nearly one in five middle and high school students have seriously considered suicide in the past year. We do not fully understand how the pandemic has affected the long-term mental health and suicide rates of today's young people, yet all indications are that there will be multiple negative outcomes. It is within this context that the importance of the topic is situated, and readers are introduced to some of the key concepts and terminology regarding suicide"--

Do you yearn for more in your life but feel like you're settling for less? Discover the transformative power of feeling good in your inner self, body, and finances with Darcy Holmer's The Personal Power Program: A Woman's Step-by-Step Guide to Thriving in Self, Body & Money. Just as Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People provided readers with guiding principles for greater personal effectiveness, The Personal Power Program gives women guiding steps toward greater personal empowerment and fulfillment. In a world where power is typically measured by external influence, Holmer emphasizes the true essence of power: the ability to shape your own life. This power to choose your path and take action to achieve your goals comes from the synergy of well-being in three key areas: Self, Body & Money. Together, they create a powerful force that can transform you and your life. Self: Have clarity of what you want, enjoy greater inner peace (even when life around you is not so peaceful), navigate self-doubt and other not-enoughness feelings, and align what you do with what you want to achieve your goals. Body: Experience the amazing transformation in how you feel and live when you love exercising because of how it makes you feel and enjoy a peaceful, pleasurable relationship with food (free from diet dramas, no willpower or deprivation required). Money: Identify the financial goals that support your life goals, build your financial well-being, and enjoy the freedom and empowerment of feeling financially secure and having the resources to achieve the fulfilling life experiences you want for yourself and your loved ones. Drawing from her own journey and professional insights, Holmer gives you a practical guide that shows you step by step how to build your Personal Power to create what you want to feel and see in your life. The Personal Power Program is more than just a book; it's a call to action for every woman who isn't willing to settle for less and is ready to take action to start realizing her more.
International courts and judicial bodies play a formative role in the development of international humanitarian law. Judges, Law and War examines how judicial bodies have influenced the substantive rules and principles of the law of armed conflict, and studies the creation, application and enforcement of this corpus of laws. Specifically, it considers how international courts have authoritatively addressed the meaning and scope of particular rules, the application of humanitarian law treaties and the customary status of specific norms. Key concepts include armed conflicts and protected persons, guiding principles, fundamental guarantees, means and methods of warfare, enforcement and war crimes. Consideration is also given to the contemporary place of judicial bodies in the international law-making process, the challenges presented by judicial creativity and the role of customary international law in the development of humanitarian law.
