Coffee Life in Japan (Hardcover) $87.65 This fascinating book–part ethnography, part memoir–traces Japan`s vibrant caf society over one hundred and thirty years. Merry White traces Japan`s coffee craze from the turn of the twentieth century, when Japan helped to launch the Brazilian coffee industry, to the present day, as uniquely Japanese ways with coffee surface in Europe and America. White`s book takes up themes as diverse as gender, privacy, perfectionism, and urbanism. She shows how coffee and coffee spaces have been central to the formation of Japanese notions about the uses of public space, social change, modernity, and pleasure. White describes how the caf in Japan, from its start in 1888, has been a place to encounter new ideas and experiments in thought, behavior, sexuality , dress, and taste. It is where a person can be socially, artistically, or philosophically engaged or politically vocal. It is also, importantly, an urban oasis, where one can be private in public. |

Airship Aviators $8.78 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Alberto Santos Dumont (July 20, 1873 July 23, 1932) was an early pioneer of aviation. He was born in, and died in, Brazil. Heir of a prosperous coffee producer family, Santos Dumont dedicated himself to science studies in Paris. Santos Dumont designed, built, and flew the first practical dirigible balloons. In doing so he became the first person to demonstrate that routine, controlled flight was possible. This “conquest of the air”, in particular winning the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize on October 19, 1901 on a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower, made him one of the most famous people in the world during the early 20th century. In addition to his pioneering work in airships, Santos Dumont made the first public flight of an airplane on October 23, 1906. Designated 14-bis or Oiseau de proie (French for “bird of prey”), the flying machine was the first fixed-wing aircraft witnessed by the European press and French aviation authorities to take off and successfully fly. Santos Dumont is considered the “Father of Aviation” in Brazil, his native country. His flight is the first to have been certified by the Aéro Club de France and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). Santos Dumont was born in Cabangu Farm, a farm in the Brazilian town of Palmira, today named Santos Dumont in the state of Minas Gerais. He grew up as the sixth of eight children on a coffee plantation owned by his family in the state of São Paulo. His French-born father was an engineer, and made extensive use of the latest labor-saving inventions on his vast property. So successful were these innovations that Santos Dumont’s father gathered a large fortune and became known as the “Coffee King of Brazil.” He was fascinated by machinery, and while still a young child he |

Brazil, Its Conditions And Prospects $26.85 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER II. GETTING TO HOUSEKEEPING. Carson’s English Hotel, at which we stopped, is handily located on the Rua Catete, the street-cars passing it every five minutes. In size and architecture it is unpretentious, but has a large lawn and garden in the rear, entirely secluded from the street by one of those high walls which still inclose many old dwelling-sites. It is an orderly and popular family hotel. If there are lady guests, a maid taps at the chamber-door about eight in the morning and hands in a pot of black coffee, a pitcher of hot milk, some rolls and butter. This is expected to sustain nature till you are dressed and come to the ordinary eating-room, where breakfast is served from nine, or a little before, till twelve. The earthen water- bottle, which I shall further along describe, set on its own little platter and placed at convenient distances along the center of the table, forms a part of what is usually on every dining-table. There are dishes of oranges and bananas. The steak, or chop, is broiled after you give your order. You may need to wait fifteen minutes for your breakfast; but be patient, and you will be treated all the better. The servants have been long in the house, and have been accustomed to wait on Brazilian magnates and their families, who are usually very polite; and iftransient guests are irritable, they are themselves the losers. It being our purpose to go to housekeeping as soon as convenient after reaching Rio, one of the first things to occupy our attention was to search for a suitable house. We had got the impression that, to be secure against yellow fever, one should reside on elevated ground—say on either the Gloria or the Santa Theresa Hill.

They lived and worked between the late nineteenth century and the 1970s. Their names are widely recognized in Brazil: they are central to the literary scene there; collectively they have received every literary honor and prize available. The book examines the meaning of such centrality for women whose work is nevertheless not included in the history of the development of Brazilian literature – their centrality is problematic in their place of origin – and by implication, it questions concepts of centrality and marginality within Brazilian literature and in the relation between Brazilian and world literatures. |

Evolution of the Slave Society and Economy of Sao Paulo, from the 1760s to the 1850s $62.01 Today the Brazilian state of São Paulo is one of the world’s most advanced agricultural, industrial, and urbanized regions. Its historical evolution, however, is poorly understood. Most scholarly attention has been paid to the period after 1850, when coffee rose to economic dominance, or to the period since 1880, when large-scale European immigration turned the city of São Paulo into one of the largest metropolises in the world. This book thus provides the first comprehensive portrait of the economy and people of São Paulo during the critical transition from the traditional eighteenth-century colonial world to the modernizing world of the nineteenth century. The result is a major rethinking of the history of early slavery in Brazil—it shows that, contrary to previous beliefs, slavery was as deeply entrenched and exploited in São Paulo as elsewhere in Brazil, and that the state’s early economic growth (as the world’s leading coffee-producing region after 1850) was made possible by an expanding African slave labor force. This raises many questions about São Paulo’s supposed “exceptionalism” and challenges the standard account of the state’s economic history, which has been strongly shaped by ideas of path dependence. In addition to studying the slave-owning class, the authors investigate the economic role of free whites and colored who did not own slaves, and compare São Paulo’s slave society and economy with other such regions in the Americas. |

Excerpt: Afonso Augusto Moreira Pena Afonso Augusto Moreira Pena (Santa Bárbara , 30 November 1847 Rio de Janeiro , 14 June 1909) was a Brazilian politician , president between 1906 and 1909. Before his political career, Pena was a lawyer, jurist and member of the Brazilian Supreme Court . He began his political career in 1874 with an election to the Imperial General Assembly. In the succeeding years, Pena reconciled legislative work with some periods occupying secretariats secretary of Agriculture (1882), Commerce and Public Issues (1883) and Justice (1885). Pena then presided over the provincial assembly of Minas Gerais. After the proclamation of the Republic, he was governor of Minas Gerais between 1892 and 1894. It was during his administration that Belo Horizonte was set for future state capital (which at that time was Ouro Preto ). In 1902 Pena became vice-president to Francisco de Paula Rodrigues Alves . He was elected president in 1906 and served until his death in 1909, a few days after the passing of his son Álvaro Pena. Afonso Pena was the first Brazilian president to advocate intervening in the coffee economy. The federal government started to buy production surplus, thus maintaining the high price of coffee in international markets. Pena also promoted the expansion of railroads . The reorganization of the Brazilian army was done by Hermes Rodrigues da Fonseca during the Pena |

International comparison and evaluation of agricultural productivity growth. $49.99 Long-run food price changes respond to long-run changes in food demand, quasi-fixed and variable production factors, and agricultural productivity. Recent global food-price volatility puts a renewed spotlight on the trends and sources of any agricultural productivity growth. Because food prices’ most critical effects are on human hunger, it is especially important to examine productivity conditions in newly emerging economies. Two such economies evaluated in this dissertation are Indonesia and Brazil.;As agriculture’s share of the Indonesian economy declines in the post-Green Revolution era, government attention increasingly has shifted to the industrial sector and away from agriculture. In light of these trends, we use province-level data and a multi-output frontier distance function approach to estimate product-specific productivity change on Indonesian farms, decomposing it into its technical-change and efficiency-change components. We find, at a 1.4% annual growth rate, that technical change has been modest and that little of this growth can be ascribed to government research efforts. Furthermore, average farm efficiency relative to the best-practice frontier has declined 0.4% per annum, so that mean productivity has risen by only 1% per year. Over-centralization of the agricultural research system may partly account for this poor performance.;Brazil now is the largest coffee, sugar, and fruit juice producer, second-largest soybean and beef producer, and third-largest corn and broiler producer. It has overtaken the U.S. in poultry exports, nearly matches the U.S. in soybean exports, and dominates global trade in frozen orange juice. To test and better understand these advances, we draw on decennial farm censuses to examine technical change and efficiency in Brazilian agriculture. Our approach is to estimate a stochastic, multi-product, output distance frontier, using a translog functional form and data disaggregated to the micro-region (sub-state) level. Using |

It is fairly common in Colombia and Ecuador .Preparation Aguapanela is made by melting fragments of panela in water and stirring until the fragments are entirely dissolved. The drink may be served hot or cold, with lemon or lime often being added.

Licentious Liberty – Ppr. $82.57 To studies of Brazilian slavery this book adds a new dimension by showing how it developed in a region where mining was the chief commercial activity and how important a role gender played in this frontier setting in creating opportunities for slaves to achieve some measure of autonomy, compared with slaves who worked in sugar-cane and coffee-growing areas.The interactions among masters, slaves, and royal officials were profoundly shaped by the accessibility and widespread dispersal of gold deposits, the emergence of small urban centers in which commercial activities thrived, the sexual division of labor among slaves working in mining and commerce, and the changing sex ratio within the population of free white colonists settling in the region.Focusing attention on the changing status, autonomy, and influence of nonwhite women, the author argues, is one of the most effective ways of understanding the economic, demographic, and cultural evolution of the slave society as a whole. |

Oogie Finds Love $2.99 It took a fierce battle with the prehistoric Cro-Magnons, and a modern wrestling match with the Russian Bear, before Oogie, the Caveman, finally won beautiful Sala for his woman.Excerpt”Kill him…!” “Moider ‘im…!” “Tear his arm off!” The cries and shrieks and boos and confusion were general throughout the auditorium, and the tenor of them was about the same, that the Russian Bear should be annihilated. Alas for the public’s pleas. Oogie the Caveman was underneath, and already the referee was on his knees, his head bent almost to the canvas, his nose almost touching the muscled shoulder of Oogie who was underneath the Russian Bear. The two wrestlers were almost in the center of the ring and the nearest of the spectators was some eight feet off. The front row could see the lips of the ref moving but none could hear the words, nor even imagine. For what the ref said, was:”Boss wants to see you after the match….”Oogie rolled a face toward the ref upon which was writ the tortures of the damned, and blinked his right eyelid. Then the ref slapped the Russian Bear on the shoulder and the match was over….”… Hi boss,” Algernon Allerdyce called in greeting. His nose sniffed appreciatively at the aroma of coffee.”Hi Oogie,” Sam Grogan replied without turning from what he was doing, lifting the cover of the percolator on the electric plate. “Squat Oog,” he directed. “This is just about done. Be with you….”The fragrant aroma of Mocha, Java and Brazilian coffee beans, ground, mixed and blended until they had achieved a perfect harmony, perfumed the air. Two cups, saucers and spoons lay on the desk. Beside them was a bottle of brandy. Oogie and Sam shared the same vice, coffee.Sam did the honors, and after both men sniffed with the deepest delight of the brew, he leaned back in his chair and regarded the muscular man at his side with both affection and speculation.

Chapters: Theatro Municipal, Amazon Theatre, Theatro Lyrico Fluminense, Alberto Maranhão Theatre, Teatro Municipal, Theatro D. Pedro Ii. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Municipal Theatre of São Paulo is a theatre in São Paulo, Brazil. It is regarded as one of the landmarks of the city, significant both for its architectural value as well as for its historical importance, having been the venue for the Week of Modern Art in 1922, which revolutionised the arts in Brazil. The building now houses the São Paulo Municipal Symphonic Orchestra, the Coral Lírico (Lyric Choir) and the City Ballet of São Paulo. The idea of building a representative theater for the city of São Paulo was inspired by its increasing importance on the international stage. From the beginning of 20th century it was inhabited by the Brazilian bourgeoisie, of which a great part was involved in the business of coffee farming. The city had also quite a large Italian population. So far, the city could rely only on the Teatro São Bento, which after a fire was no longer suitable for large foreign productions. That is why the paulistana aristocracy demanded a creation of a new theatre, with a structure similar to some of the best theatres in the world and suitable for staging large opera productions. The place which was chosen for the construction was Morro do Cha’, or Tea Hill, which had been the site of the new Teatro São José. Ramos de Azevedo was the engineer assigned to the construction. He was also helped by two Italian architects Cláudio Rossi and Domiziano Rossi. In 1903, construction began, and São Paulo gained one of the best venues in the world for the presentation of theatre productions, mainly operas. As it was customary in those days, |

Chapters: Os Mutantes: Caminhos Do Coração, Caminhos Do Coração, a Escrava Isaura, Chamas Da Vida, Poder Paralelo, Vidas Opostas. Excerpt: A Escrava Isaura (La Esclava Isaura) A Escrava Isaura ( Isaura the Slave ) is a 2004 Brazilian telenovela based on A Escrava Isaura , an 1875 abolitionist romance novel by Bernardo Guimarães . The series tells the story of a coffee-plantation owner’s passion for one of his slaves. Herval Rossano directed both this and the 1976 version . Rede Record , run by televangelist Edir Macedo , produced this expanded remake of a serial that aired in 1976 on Rede Globo . The series drew high ratings among Brazilian viewers and was expanded from 100 to 167 episodes. It has been syndicated worldwide. It airs in Europe and the Middle East on Zone Romantica . Story This melodrama focuses on the conflict between the beautiful light-skinned slave girl Isaura (Bianca Rinaldi, originally, Lucelia Santos ) and her cruel, lecherous master Leoncio (Leopold Pacheco) in 1875 Brazil. The heroine is the 20-year-old daughter of a white father and a mulatto mother. She was born and raised on the coffee plantation of Commander Almeida (Rubens de Falco) in the village of Goitacaces. When Juliana, Isaura’s mother (Valquiria Ribeiro), dies shortly after giving birth, Gertrudes (Norma Blum), the Commander’s wife, treats the child as her own daughter, giving her an education and fine manners. Isaura is also devoutly religious; she prays often, avoids the witchcraft practiced by some other slaves and often wears a prominent cross around her neck. Her father, a free laborer, repeatedly begs for the girl s freedom and makes offer after offer to buy her from the Commander. Despite promises to set her free one day, every offer is rejected. |
