Brazil Today: An Encyclopedia of Life in the Republic [2 Volumes]
John J. Crocitti, Monique Vallance
For students, business people, government officials, artists, and tourists--in short, anyone traveling to or wishing to know more about contemporary Brazil--this is an essential resource. The wide-reaching encyclopedia offers an entry for each Brazilian state with information about the land, climate, economy, and culture. It also offers extensive coverage of the country's political parties and leaders, its governmental and non-governmental organizations, and the environmental issues and social problems that shape Brazilian politics today. In addition, the work pays considerable attention to the economy and business through entries on industry, agriculture, commerce, banking, and economic policies. Finally, there are entries that illuminate various aspects of Brazil's culture, including the nation's social movements, religion, education, music, cuisine, and literature, as well as personalities from sports and entertainment.
