This book is the essential companion for those who wish to learn about and visit the Inner Hebridean islands of Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna, known collectively as the Small Isles. As well as focusing on history, archaeology and landscape change from earliest times to the present day, it is a fascinating account of the people who have lived there their subsistence, legends and superstitions, interactions and the ways in which they exploited the land and the sea. It takes the reader through prehistoric landscapes and Iron Age forts into the Age of the Saints and the incoming Vikings. The islands are rich in monastic tradition and rife with the clan feuding of the Middle Ages. Contemporary descriptions help explore population change, townships, the boom and bust of the kelp industry and the devastation brought about by the Clearances before the late 19th century, when wealthy aristocrats created great sporting estates.

"Nascer é uma catástrofe. Alguns já nascem devendo. Igor nasceu onde ninguém nasce inocente. Nasce marcado. Cresceu achando que fome, tapa e tiro eram o jeito normal de viver. Que polícia era ameaça. Que silencio era proteço. Que medo era rotina. Entre vielas apertadas, codigos do crime e escolhas que parecem no existir, acompanhamos a trajetoria de um jovem que tenta sobreviver a um sistema que ja o havia sentenciado antes mesmo de nascer. Esta ficço e um mergulho na formaço de uma mente marcada pela excluso, ausencia e brutalidade cotidiana. E uma historia sobre identidade, pertencimento, responsabilidade e consequencias das nossas decises individuais e coletivas. Com narrativa intensa, direta e visceral, Nascer e uma Catastrofe faz uma provocaço desconfortavel: Ate que ponto somos fruto das nossas escolhas? E ate que ponto somos produto do lugar onde a nossa vida começa? Voce esta preparado para atravessar esta historia?"

Jammu and Kashmir - The Forgotten Narrative is a deeply researched and analytically rigorous examination of one of the most complex and protracted disputes in modern international history. At a time when discussions on Kashmir are often shaped by selective narratives, political rhetoric, and strategic interests, this book seeks to recover neglected histories and foreground Kashmiri perspectives that have long remained marginal in global discourse.The first part of the book revisits the origins of the Kashmir conflict, with particular emphasis on the events of 1947. Drawing extensively on archival records, official correspondence, contemporary reports, and historical documentation, it critically examines the circumstances surrounding the Jammu massacre, the Poonch and Mirpur resistance movements, and the deeply contested Instrument of Accession. By interrogating these foundational moments, the book challenges simplified and state-centric accounts, exposing how historical complexities were obscured in the construction of dominant narratives.Moving beyond historical reconstruction, the book situates Kashmir within broader debates on international law, decolonisation, and self-determination. It explores how legal ambiguities, geopolitical rivalries, and post-colonial power structures shaped both the dispute itself and the international response to it. In doing so, it highlights the disjunction between diplomatic discourse and realities on the ground.The second part of the book turns to the present, offering a comparative and empirical assessment of freedom across Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. Based on fieldwork and interviews with Kashmiri refugees and residents, it examines political participation, civil liberties, freedom of movement, religious practice, communication, and everyday social life. Rather than treating freedom as an abstract concept, the book evaluates it through lived experience, drawing attention to disparities that are rarely acknowledged in mainstream discussions.Combining scholarly depth with clarity and accessibility, Jammu and Kashmir - The Forgotten Narrative bridges the gap between academic research and policy relevance. It speaks to historians, political scientists, legal scholars, diplomats, human rights practitioners, and students of South Asian studies, while remaining accessible to informed general readers seeking a nuanced understanding of Kashmir.By placing Kashmiri voices at the centre of analysis and confronting uncomfortable historical truths, this book offers an essential corrective to distorted narratives. It stands as both a historical reappraisal and a contemporary critique, contributing meaningfully to ongoing debates on human rights, sovereignty, and the unresolved question of Kashmir.

This book proposes a multidisciplinary work on applied humanities and social sciences, focused more specifically on administration, that contributes to research and teaching. The goal is to create a General Theory of Administration (GTA), focusing on Brazil, analyzing it from the specific perspectives of the different fields of knowledge involved. The goal of this work is to foster collaboration between academia and the general public. This task will be accomplished through the engagement of public and private partners. The General Theory of Administration in Brazil (GTA), when taught in Brazilian schools, highlights examples of a reality quite different from the national one, using the American and European business models. Without neglecting this, the time has come to utilize Brazilian models, figures, and companies for this endeavor. The moment of Brazilian affirmation calls for a general theory of Brazilian administration, utilizing excellent business schools, along with leading Brazilian professors, students, businesspeople, and politicians, for a genuinely national model. This model, which will be a book, will use the aspects of three areas that permeate Brazilian administration: businesspeople, politicians and football, which have accumulated so much experience in this past and current century, thus arriving at the time to develop a national business model, including cases of Brazilian companies.
