O presente estudo tem como finalidade desvendar o espaço urbano da cidade de Salvador-Bahia, cidade que se apresenta com uma estrutura urbana extremamente desigual, tendo em vista a precariedade no atendimento as demandas dos bairros perifericos da cidade, espaços "socialmente desiguais", lugar da populaço em sua grande parte pobre e negra. A deficiente atenço dada pelo poder publico a esses locais possibilita a ampliaço e a consolidaço das desigualdades socioespaciais nesses bairros, aumentando as dificuldades cotidianas enfrentadas pelos moradores. Assim, surge a pergunta: quais motivos levam a tamanho descaso por parte do poder publico? Uma vez que, nestes espaços, a ausencia do poder publico contribui de forma direta com a precaria infraestrutura urbana. Buscamos neste estudo analisar as gestes que ocorreram no periodo de 1996 a 2021, realizando uma profunda pesquisa das açes de politicas publicas e planejamento urbano que ocorreram na cidade, principalmente nos espaços dos denominados "sujeitados ao sistema".

In the sixteenth century, the vast and sophisticated empire of China lay almost entirely unknown to Western travellers. As global trade expanded, this land of reputedly boundless wealth, pale-faced women, and indecipherable tongues began to feed the fantasies of European merchants and adventurers. The Catholic Church, meanwhile, saw in this great people millions of souls who would be damned unless the Christian message could be brought to them. In this book, Mary Laven tells the extraordinary story of the first Jesuit mission to China. Confronting enormous challenges, the Italian priest Matteo Ricci and a tiny handful of learned companions travelled thousands of miles from southern Europe to the very heart of the empire. In 1601, they gained permission from the notoriously xenophobic Wanli emperor to settle in the fabled Forbidden City. Living among eunuchs and mandarins, wearing the clothes and reading the books of Confucian scholars, Ricci and his associates strove to master the language and culture of their hosts. At the same time, they energetically preached the virtues of Western art and science. What were the motives of the carpenters and boatmen, the mothers, fathers and children who burned their idols and were cleansed with the waters of baptism? Mary Laven tries to answer these questions, as she brings this remote world vividly to life.

Why do explorers put themselves in dangerous situations? And, once the worst possible situation occurs, how do they find the resources to survive?In answering these questions, Benedict Allen weaves a series of tales from his own experience as well as that of other explorers including Columbus, Cortez, Scott, Shakelton, Stanley, Livingstone and their modern counterparts: Joe Simpson and Ranulf Fiennes.

He could tell you things! Things Ive tried to forget; thing I never did know." Joseph Conrad "his was a heroic nature. I should like to write upon him subtly, so that his enemies would think I was with them till they finished my book and rose from reading it to call him a hero. He has the appeal of a broken archangel." T.E. Lawrence British Consul Roger Casement was knighted in 1911 for his investigations into the genocide of trival peoples in the Congo Free State and Amazon rainforest. Five years later he was hanged for hils role in Irelands Easter Rising. The publication of The Amazon Journal of Roger Casement explodes the myth of the controversial and sexual explicit "Black Diaries" which played a leading role in his downfall, raising disturbing questions about his staged trial, the assassination of his character and subsequent execution that will resound to the very depths of Anglo-Irish history.

Artists and writers from the colder climes of northern Europe have long felt the lure of the South of the continent. Goethe was revitalised by his encounters with Mediterranean culture on his journey to Italy. Nietzsche took flight southwards to begin his life anew, while DH Lawrence sought the health-giving southern sun in Sicily and Sardinia.But across the centuries, other outposts of the South have provoked a similar obsession. The South Seas cast a spell over figures such as Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Gauguin. The American Deep South and the southermost reaches of Latin America have been celebrated in the works of writers as diverse as John Muir, Jack Kerouac and Jorge Luis Borges. While the Great White South of the Antarctic has provided the backdrop to the darkest imaginings of Coleridge, Poe and Lovecraft. Even London, south of the river, is a place where novelists compete today to stake out a literary territory of their own.Moving between geography and mythology, literature and history, South is the first book to look at all things Southern in one volume. It examines the idea of the South as a symbol of freedom and escape, as well as the depository for many of our deepest unconscious fears and desires. It also charts the history of the South as the chosen location for the utopian visions of the North. From the beaches of Tahiti to the streets of Buenos Aires, from Naples to New Orleans, Merlin Coverleys brilliant and wide-ranging study throws light on the ways in which the idea of the South, in all its forms, has come to exert such a powerful hold on our collective imaginations.

It was one of the worst episodes of the Nagorno-Karabakh war. For months, the townspeople of Khojaly, Azerbaijan, had endured nightly shelling by invading Armenian forces, which gradually surrounded the town. By 25 February 1992 all escape routes had been cut off. Armenian tanks, artillery and troops moved in, and so began the calculated finale to a crime against humanity. The inhabitants of Khojaly fled, wading across the freezing Gargar river and through the forested mountains. Emerging onto open land near the village of Nakhchivanik, they found none of the safety theyd hoped for, instead presenting easy targets for the Armenian guns awaiting them there. The townspeoples crime? As Azerbaijanis, they were inadvertent obstacles to the abstract dream of a Greater Armenia. Western journalists reporting on these savage events encountered doubts from their editors back home: surely they had confused aggressors with victims? They had not; and to help combat such misapprehensions, this book gathers first-hand accounts from the massacre and its aftermath. Here are testimonies from survivors, international journalists and photographers; reports from international humanitarian organisations; and even the thoughts of an Armenian commander as he picked his way across the killing fields. Resolutions condemning the atrocities were passed by the United Nations, the European Union and the Council of Europe, but they endure only as paper: the perpetrators remain unaccountable and in occupation, and some hold Armenias highest political offices. Khojalys survivors, meanwhile, are left with memories of their lost homes and loved ones, longing for justice.

Grand to look at, grand to look from, and grand to climb - so Great Gable was described over a hundred years ago. Probably the Lake Districts best loved hill, it receives twenty thousand ascents each year and has seen the birth of two separate sorts of hill sport. In The Riddle of Sphinx Rock, award-winning outdoor writer Ronald Turnbull asks why we find Great Gable so irresistibly attractive. His answer suggests that the greatness of Gable is far more than just a matter of getting to the top. As he walks, scrambles and climbs, he explores the subtleties of its terrain and its geology, history and myths. Youll meet characters and locations that are an integral part of its story: Wordsworth and his Wheel of Fells, Fanny Mercer and her bad alpenstock technique, the Wadd Holes and Pillar Rock, Moses Rigg and Geoffrey Winthrop Young. By turns intriguing and funny, erudite and provocative, The Riddle of Sphinx Rock was chosen by Trail magazine as one of six top titles in its How To Be Mountain Literate section: A boutique history of one the UKs most fascinating mountains, filled with memorable characters, classic routes and derring-do. Puts you in the historic thick of one of our most atmospheric and iconic mountains.

Esta es la historia del mayor secreto que la cordillera de los Andes guarda. Un relato a caballo entre la historia y la literatura de viajes que recupera las expediciones realizadas por Miguel Gutiérrez-Garitano en la busqueda del reino inca perdido de Vilcabamba.Un viaje emocionante entre el esplendor, el declive y la zozobra, que nos recuerda el drama de un mundo que fue arrasado pero que no termino de desaparecer tras la muerte de Tupac Amaru, el ultimo guerrero inca que se rebelo contra las huestes española que habian llegado a al continente americano un siglo atras.En junio de 1572 los conquistadores españoles, al mando del general Hurtado de Arbieto, entraron en la ciudad de Vilcabamba, capital del reino del mismo nombre donde los ultimos incas habian resistido durante tres decadas el intento colonizador español. A partir de entonces, durante cuatro siglos, el mas profundo de los silencios se cernio sobre los restos de la ultima nacion libre de America. Desde ese momento, decenas de exploradores probaron suerte entre selvas y montañas, tratando de dar con las ciudades perdidas de los incas.Miguel Gutierrez-Garitano rememora la fascinante historia de Vilcabamba, desde los acontecimientos que rodearon su existencia, hasta los viajes de los exploradores en la busqueda de este reino oculto, para asi narrar sus propias experiencias en los Andes, sumergiendose en un pielago de historias, montañas y selvas, hasta dar con algunos de los enclaves descritos por los cronistas como universidades de idolatrias donde los magos brujos son doctores en la abominacion.

Son al menos cinco clases de territorios extraños que trata Olivier Marchon en este peculiar libro sobre la geografía humana: los enclavados, los simbólicos, los que se encuentran en disputa, los especiales y los utopicos. Asi podemos encontrar a Kowloon Walled City, una ciudad en la que de pronto, en medio de un conflicto ente China y Gran Bretaña, nada es tecnicamente ilegal. Si, nada. Pero tambien podemos acercarnos a la historia de Roy Bates, que en la decada del 60 creo un Principado en una vieja plataforma militar abandonada y se declara a el y a su pareja, principe y princesa. Pero no solo eso, sino que es tomado de manera tan seria que su Primer Ministro se rebela y entra en guerra por un pais inventado. ¿Y que hay de la Isla de la Conferencia, cuyo territorio segun el mes del año esta administrado por España o por Francia? Estas son tan solo algunas de las historias que se relatan en Rarezas geograficas, cuyo nombre ya nos indica algo de lo que encontraremos alli. Una muestra singular de la naturaleza humana.
