The belief in the power of books, in any format, as a driving force of culture and progress, demonstrates that writer
Monteiro Lobato is still relevant, as he offered the nation this sage advice: ‘’A country is made with men and books”,
meaning that a country needs educated people in order to be respected by its children and the community of
nations. Publisher Carpe Diem is aware that with the changes emerging in the so-called new era of uncertainty,
books will remain fundamental. It is thanks to books that cultural and social relations and knowledge from all spheres
evolve with each generation.

Understanding Scotus

ISBN: 978-85-15-04148-0
Rights available
“What we believe in is important, but still more important is the One who we believe in.” Benedict XVI’s sentence
inspires this work which is intended to be a helpful guide book for personal encounters with the Lord in prayer.
More than a handbook, the work is a true spiritual guide for personal meditation and reflection on the Word,
identified with the Word who became flesh and lived among us (Jn 1.14a). The meeting with the Lord is the
privileged way to nourish faith in the person of Jesus.
Together with Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventura and William of Occam, John Duns Scotus is one of the greatest
thinkers of the Scholastic period. His doctrines on human knowledge, freedom and metaphysical themes, among
others, exerted unparalleled influence on later philosophy and theology. In a concise and organized way, this book
presents its fundamental theses: the human ability to reach absolute certainties; the certainty of the existence of
God, the infinite being; the possibility of rationally asserting the moral norms and the plausibility of Christian faith.

For those who wonder about the mystery underlying the silence of the universe and the weight of history,
spirituality is the feeling that encountering the Transcendent causes in the life of every person. Theology is
the feeling this encounter that this creates when one tries to understand it and talk about it. Starting with a
panoramic overview of the history of spirituality, the author shows the historical roots of the different spiritual
movements and schools and theologically reflects on the constitutive elements which establish Christian
spirituality and promote its development (spiritual orientation). Attracted by the One who is the source of all life
and the God of consolation, the Christian as a person unified in bodily, psychic, and spiritual dimensions follows
the way of Jesus Christ – endless brotherhood moved and supported by the dynamism of the Holy Spirit.

According to Freud, the origin of the belief in God stems from the father complex. For him, religious belief
is a neurosis and an illusion whose main function is to offer protection to the human being; this belief will
inevitably disappear, giving rise to a scientific era. The book is a discussion of these ideas. It talks at length
about Freud’s personal relationship with religious phenomenon both diachronically and systematically, it
provides his criticism of religion, tells the story of the Catholic Church’s reception of psychoanalysis and,
finally, provides a critical appraisal of Freudian criticism of religious facts.

Plato Was Not Sick

“Plato, I believe, was sick” (Phaedo 59 B). This famous sentence in the Phaedo, alluded to by the title of this work,
expresses a concealment strategy by means of which Plato clearly indicates that his written work is not intended to
be a set of historical documents, a testimony of dialogues that really took place, allowing him at the same time to
make the dialogue guide, for the most part Socrates, a dramatis persona of himself. Just like in the direct tradition
of writings Plato deliberately conceals himself, but discloses his thought disguised as the literary characters he
created, in the indirect tradition his thought is camouflaged, be it by the allusive qualities of many passages in his
writings, or by the testimony of his close or distant disciples.

recording the daily life of the metropolis and its many characters, the artist captures the impact of the changings
in the urban landscape at unique moments, translated into population growth and densification, dynamics of
passersbys in squares, streets and avenues, and the emergence of important architectural landmarks in the capital.
Noteworthy is the fact that Moreira shoots daily, which allows him to not only expose the hard beauty of São Paulo,
but also to emphasize the rhythm of the city and of those who live in it.

In the seventh book in the Mutations series, essays address the concept of speech, which gives form and
expression to thoughts and passions, and silence before the large volume of information currently produced.
Silence is seen as a form of transgression, and the prose as a process of creating works of arts and ideas.

Based on stories from his grandfather, with his Italian-Paulistana background, Mauricio Negro recreates old
popular Italian fables and anecdotes, maintaining their humorous spirit. The saying “Lovely on the outside,
rotten on the inside,” which the title cites, refers to the protagonists of the stories: folks whose moral virtues are
not their strength. Apparently sincere, naive or nice, they hide pettiness, selfishness or cruelty within.

Written as a diary, this book contains dozens of reports of out-of-body experiences (OBE), as experienced
by the author. OBE or lucid projection occurs when a person perceives him/herself as lucid and conscious
outside his or her body, and can even maintain contact with other people in the same condition or those who
no longer possess a physical body, such as others who have passed away or personal benefactors. Aiming
to contribute to training of invididuals for conscious projection, the book was developed in a practical,
technical and descriptive manner, with the goal of serving as a reference for those interested in the topic and
encouraging people to have their own projective experiences.

adopts a participatory approach, assuming greater responsibility for life itself, since, in the words of the author,
“there is no use trying to outsource self-healing”.

displacement regarding the individual and the different environments to which they relate: family, school, work
and themselves. The person feels like an odd man out. With a broad interdisciplinary approach, the author relates
the syndrome to some strains of Psychology, Psychiatry and the materialist paradigm that is confronted with the

This book, geared for both the lay public and for veteran researchers of conscientiology, is about the courage to
evolve. The author analyzes the human and extraphysical factors that influence personal decision-making. Using an
accessible approach, the author shows that our present-future is built on personal efforts, and a lack of courage to
evolve and control their development, which makes people prefer to imagine a favorable event of destiny rather
than face reality. The courage to challenge paradigms in search of creative solutions, when based on open and
logical reasoning, is the essence of the scientific spirit. Without intelligence and courage, there is no evolution.

leave him alone, especially now, as he is being punished for something he didn’t do... If only he could explain
himself, he would have much to say. Not knowing how to deal with so many changes, Alex barely notices the
transformations occurring inside of him. But such conflicts do not prevent him from experiencing one of the
best discoveries in life.

society? The authors of this book faced this challenge, developed a new socioeconomic stratification model for
Brazil and redefined the socioeconomic classes for purposes of market segmentation and audience. The book
provides tools to classify households in many strata, enabling the social stratification for any sample of market,
opinion and media research and for analysis of the Brazilian consumer.

forgiveness. The author shows us that the gift of tears is a way to express ourselves before God. “It is a simple and

weak will, negativism, depression or even sadness. It may be considered an effective prayer, one that God
answers promptly. God has the power to transform into victory the humiliation we are currently experiencing.

come from? Antoracy Tortolero Araujo gathered the answers to those questions in his book Indigenous Tales,

How did sports start? Any idea of when canoeing transformed from transportation to sport? Ever wondered
who invented basketball? And volleyball? Carlos Eduardo Novaes’ book “The Invention of Sports” seeks to
answer these and many other questions on the subject through essays on various sports, with a wealth of
information and fluid text that is humorous, clear and informative. Brazil is the country hosting two huge global
sporting events: The World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Olympic Games. Sports are a part of the everyday and the
imagination of the Brazilian people, who were already very interested in the topic. Schools must be in tune with
what happens in the world we live in and must discuss and deepen in many ways these issues. This is why we
suggest reading “The Invention of Sports” as a starting point for discussion on the subject.

later, turn into buildings. The book reveals, in a poetic way, the creative inspiration Oscar Niemeyer used to
conceive of his famous constructions.

portraying the atmosphere of an unjust and violent war in Brazil, which was highlighted by incomprehension.
The intolerance of the government, the newly created Republic, faced the Brazilian community of Canudos and
the conflict began due to the misunderstanding of the reality of backcountry life conditions, in addition to their
hard struggle to survive and their only support: the faith in God, personified in the figure of the devout leader
Antônio Conselheiro.

some had been written on Egyptian papyruses, dating almost a thousand years earlier. And we’re still

of its material culture, giving an insight into the significance of the pieces worn by the cangaceiros (so-called
“social bandits”), such as Solomon’s shield, the Maltese cross, the fleur-de-lis, the figure eight, the Greek sashes,
the variations of local flora and the multiple combinations that the cangaceiros used to create a “uniform” that
pandered to the decorative vanity of the fierce warriors and their yearning for mystical protection.

ISBN: 978-85-260-1889-1

Darcy Ribeiro´s first published novel, Maíra, reveals his experience as an anthropologist and defender of
indigenous rights. The book tells the story of Avá, an Indian adopted by a Catholic priest and convinced to go
to Rome and become a priest himself. When returning to his tribe, he starts to question his faith, struggling to
align it with the culture of the tribe. Avá´s story reveals the richness of indigenous culture, which doesn’t always
correlate with the values of a Christian society.
Formal liberty is one of the great features of this book of poems, covering simple themes such as childhood
innocence to those characterized by a keen irony and an irreverent humor. A tone of Brazilianism can be seen in
the poems Mangue (‘Marsh’), Belém do Pará, and Evocação do Recife (‘Recollection of Recife’), characteristic of the
most important Brazilian literary manifestations in the 1920s. Poems like Vou-me embora pra Pasárgada (‘Going
away to Pasárgada’) and Pneumotórax (‘Pneumothorax’) have taken root in the souls of generations of readers
and put Bandeira’s name among the greatest Brazilian poets.

arousing public interest in a specific problem. Today, Gamification techniques are applied by companies as
alternative tools to traditional approaches, mainly to encourage people to adopt certain behaviors, to familiarize
themselves with new technologies, to streamline their processes and make tasks considered tedious or
repetitive more enjoyable.

Innovating is a hard and often frustrating task, but one which is essential in order to differentiate yourself in the
market. Design Thinking deals with traditional business problems from multiple perspectives, helping to solve
them in an effective way, which leads to new paths. The objective of this work is to spread the use of design
culture as a strategic tool for businesses, together with the idea that financial returns are often linked with the
ability to approach old issues from new angles. This book presents stages, techniques and tools, illustrated with
genuinely Brazilian cases, to inspire and aid in innovation.

This book is addressed to professionals in all areas of business. Through it, we intend to cover the genesis of

itself, if not so more. We hope this book will encourage many companies to create their own prototyping labs
and business innovation departments, and to introduce Design Thinking as standard management practice.

From this book’s conception, a initial view of the stages inherent to Design Thinking’s approach applied to
innovation projects is extended to its potential readers. Companies in general and even entire industries
worldwide feel threatened by rapid change in the field of technology with the resulting impacts on society and
the market, and fall prey to surprise attacks by newcomers, new products and business models. Innovating may
be risky, but not innovating is also risky.

Colors are the first things a child’s eye can distinguish. For them, it is one of the strongest experiences of visual
interaction with the world around them. Even before knowing the names of colors, they already give a name
to the sky, to the sun, to the animals and toys.Once children learn to give the name of colors to things they
jump to the next level when things have meanings. But what could happen if one of these children loses the
ability to recognize these colors? What meaning would the world have, ready to be colored again? In this book
“The Girl Who Loses Colors”, the journalist and writer Marcelo Moutinho tells us about a girl who suddenly sees
the world without colors. Everything becomes a boring scene of frightening shadows in gray, black and white.
After searching for the beauty of her lost rainbow, the girl discovered another way to understand the world and
happily learns to use the brush of her own life. If imagining means turning into reality, perhaps this girl can teach
us to color the lives of children of every color and every size.

This book is a true gesture of friendship and solidarity. The Angolan National Radio promotes a competition and

Lopes tells about the people from Rio de Janeiro, known as the Cariocas, who lived on the city’s outskirts during
early twentieth century, mostly illiterate or with little education. This is a journey into the heart of Rio, and about
the changes that urbanism produced in Rio’s daily life. Waning Sad Moon has outstanding sociological value in
the language, relations and the social context in which the story unfolds itself.

Mr. Zuza’s farm is very famous, because many different kinds of animals live there in harmony. The chicken was a
friend of the duck, and the pigs and calves played together, as did dogs and cats. All are happy and the place is
lively and fun. Everyone enjoys the tranquility and pace of life, until the chicken makes a scene.The story playfully
illustrates how we sometimes make things worse by the way we behave in the face of difficulties. Our reactions
may prevent us from seeing things as they really are, rather than helping us maintain the balance necessary in
emergency situations.
These tales from Cristiano Deveras are such fantastic stories that it is hard to believe they are just a work of his
imagination. The light tone of the stories is sometimes humorous, and we feel engaged and complicit in the plots.

This novel, based on real events, retraces the path of Keko, a medical student in the 80’s, through a fitful path that
relates the abandonment of medicine to the present moment, where the narrative resumes. In an encouraging
and heartening way, the story details the social consequences of alcohol and drug addiction. The theme of
impoverishment reoccurs throughout Keko’s story with persistent influences of poverty, drug abuse, and family
breakdown as sad realities that increase the number of lonely deaths, unclaimed bodies and corpses of indigent
people dumped in the country. The work rekindles within us the power of love and human solidarity.
