Download or read book A History of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire Volume 1 Portugal written by A. R. Disney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of Portugal was created as a by-product of the Christian Reconquest of Hispania. With no geographical raison d'être and no obvious political roots in its Roman, Germanic, or Islamic pasts, it for long remained a small, struggling realm on Europe's outer fringe. Then, in the early fifteenth century, this unlikely springboard for Western expansion suddenly began to accumulate an empire of its own, eventually extending more than halfway around the globe. A History of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire, drawing particularly on historical scholarship postdating the 1974 Portuguese Revolution, offers readers a comprehensive overview and reinterpretation of how all this happened - the first such account to appear in English for more than a generation. Volume I concerns the history of Portugal itself from pre-Roman times to the climactic French invasion of 1807, and Volume II traces the history of the Portuguese overseas empire.

Download or read book Assim nasceu uma l ngua written by Fernando Venâncio and published by Tinta-da-China Brasil. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Latim em pó", "a última flor do Lácio"... Aprendemos a nos orgulhar das origens latinas, supostamente diretas, da língua que usamos todos os dias. Mas será que foi assim mesmo? Neste livro notável, o linguista português Fernando Venâncio demonstra que o idioma de Camões nos chegou de Roma de forma oblíqua, e é na realidade uma variação do galego, língua de pastores de ovelhas iletrados do noroeste da Espanha. Assim nasceu uma língua conta a história das palavras com graça, conhecimento e espírito crítico, mostrando que até o século 15 a língua usada em Portugal era uma variante do galego. A ideia de uma pureza latina serviu a projetos nacionalistas a partir da expansão marítima e segue viva no século 21, com a língua já espalhada e reapropriada por novos falantes de todo o mundo. Sucesso de vendas e de crítica em Portugal, o livro chega às livrarias pela Tinta-da-China Brasil, com prefácio do linguista Marcos Bagno, que escreve: "Para o público leitor brasileiro, muito do que se diz neste livro há de causar surpresa, espanto e até indignação. Os mitos culturais muito impregnados no senso comum resistem com brio às investidas da racionalidade".

Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in different contexts.
Download or read book Culture and Customs of Portugal written by Carlos A. Cunha and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-05-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This descriptive analysis of contemporary Portuguese culture from a historical perspective covers topics ranging from art, cuisine, and music to government, politics, and religion. Portugal is evolving quickly as an integrated part of modern Europe. What was until the mid-1970s an old-world society, where 80 percent of the economy was controlled by an oligarchy of eight elite families, is now increasingly a model of an advanced European state. Portugal now ranks highly among the countries of the world in level of globalization and quality of life; it even boasts one of the best-developed renewable energy infrastructures of any developed country. Despite such widespread modernization, however, "old country" Portuguese traditions persist in the political realms, as well as the traditional lifestyles that endure in the countryside. Culture and Customs of Portugal devotes careful attention to such topics as Portuguese holidays, media, marriage, gender roles, architecture, and education, providing readers with a full account of Portugal's rich heritage and modern culture. The drastic changes in the nation following the 1974 military coup that overthrew a 48-year dictatorship receive special attention.

Download or read book Forest Context and Policies in Portugal written by Fernando Reboredo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date analysis of the Portuguese forests and forestry sector, including its history, its total economic value, current threats and opportunities and future challenges, namely the need to incorporate more planning and technology in forest management practices. The methodological approach of analysing the forestry sector in terms of its total economic value, and the use of this new perspective to correctly perceive the forest sector and to base development strategies is unique. Also, the use of new methods and technologies in the Portuguese forestry sector will be an opportunity to share these experiences with a wider international audience. For example, fire incidence during the summer has almost no parallel in the Western World, implying that Portuguese forest landscapes function as a “natural lab of wildfires” from which much can be learned globally. Thus, the outcomes of the fire management policies adopted might represent important lessons for Mediterranean basin countries.
Download or read book An Oral History of the Portuguese Colonial War written by Ângela Campos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This oral history of ex-combatants of the Portuguese colonial war places the reader face-to-face with the men who were conscripted to fight the last and bloodiest of the West’s colonial wars in Africa, namely in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau (then Portuguese Guinea), between 1961 and 1974. At the forefront of this work are the lived experiences of a wide range of Portuguese veterans, framed by broader insights about the post-war public memory of this event in Portugal. Moving away from stereotypical and polarized images of these ex-combatants, An Oral History of the Portuguese Colonial War: Conscripted Generation explores the memories and consequences of this war for these veterans and their society. Seeking to understand why Portuguese ex-combatants often feel neglected and historically unrecognised, this book presents a thorough portrait of a continually shifting – and at times paradoxical –individual and collective remembrance process.

In addition, the closing chapters of this volume venture outside the realm of the European Mesolithic-Neolithic world, presenting case studies on shell middens from both the Patagonia and the Red Sea.
