Calma, vai correr tudo bem
by Sofia ArrudaO primeiro livro da actriz Sofia Arruda conta de uma forma intimista e com humor a sua experiência da gravidez e do pós-parto e fala de tudo sem complexos. Engravidar, ter um filho, amamentar, não dormir, recuperar. Milhões de mulheres o fazem diariamente, em todo o mundo, uma e outra vez. Entram na estrada da maternidade com um certo espírito de missão e sacrifício que faz com que, de longe, pareça uma coisa simples. Uma coisa fácil, para a qual todas as mulheres nascem. Mas não é verdade. Engravidar, ter um filho, amamentar, não dormir, recuperar é difícil. Muito difícil, mesmo quando se tem uma rede de apoio feita de pessoas disponíveis para ajudar. Sofia Arruda, actriz e mãe, gostava de ter sabido algumas coisas antes de ter entrado na aventura da maternidade. Gostava que lhe tivessem dito que a amamentação pode ser um processo doloroso, que não é normal sentir tristeza após o parto, ou mesmo que, quando nasce um bebé,nasce uma mãe carregada de culpa infundada. E como ninguém lhe disse, decidiu que seria ela a dizê-lo às mães (e pais) - as que já são e as que ainda vão ser. Partindo do relato da sua própria experiência, e recorrendo a testemunhos de outras mães e de profissionais de saúde como a enfermeira Carmen Ferreira, Clementina Almeida, psicóloga e fundadora da clínica For Babies Brain, e a fisioterapeuta Mariana Rosa, especializada em saúde da mulher, Sofia desconstrói uma série de mitos e crenças e dá ferramentas para que as mulheres possam tomar as rédeas do seu bem-estar durante a gravidez e o pós-parto.
Cambio de palabras
by César Hildebrandt"No hay crónica ni entrevista sin una visión del mundo previa. Por eso quizá los editores de prensa encargan tanto las entrevistas como las crónicas a quienes ven por encima la grisura y el promedio". César Hidlebrandt "Releyendo algunas de las entrevistas de esta edición compruebo, además, que la política peruana se quedó sin repuestos. A Sánchez lo sucedió don Nadie, a Towsend le tomó la posta el silencio, a Pedro Beltrán lo heredó la Confiep, de Barrantes solo quedaron viudad. cambio de palabras no podría haberse hecho ahora por falta de elenco. Cuando escucho a muchos de los congresistas balbucera desde sus escaños una jerga brotada en sucesivas lobotomías, me digo que tuve, como muchos, la suerte de asistir a un país mejor educado. Suerte relativa, por supuesto, porque junto con ella viene algo parecido a la melancolía. Si alguien me preguntara si hubo un par de entrevistas que me gustaría volver a hacer, diría, previsiblemente quizá, que esas son las de Borges y Juan Gonzalo Rose. Uno instalado en la erudición y el otro en el desasosiego, ambos me demostraron que tal vez elegí mal cuando opté por la entrevista política. Hoy no haría eso. Los políticos ya no son primos de la cultura ni lectores con los que tratar una agenda que esté más allá de lo contingente". César Hildebrandt Cambio de palabras reúne 25 de las mejores entrevistas de César Hildebrandt, el periodista más respetado del país. Publicadas de 1971 a 1992, en el semanario Caretas principalmente, las conversaciones con políticos como Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre o Fernando belaunde Terry, o escritores como Mario Vargas Llosa, Julio Cortázar, Jorge Luis Borges o Juan Gonzalo Rose, son consideradas verdaderas clases de buen periodismo. Esta es la edición de un libro ya clásico.
Cambridge Classical Studies: Revisiting Delphi
by Julia KindtRevisiting Delphi speaks to all admirers of Delphi and its famous prophecies, be they experts on ancient Greek religion, students of the ancient world, or just lovers of a good story. It invites readers to revisit the famous Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, along with Herodotus, Euripides, Socrates, Pausanias and Athenaeus, offering the first comparative and extended enquiry into the way these and other authors force us to move the link between religion and narrative centre stage. Their accounts of Delphi and its prophecies reflect a world in which the gods frequently remain baffling and elusive despite every human effort to make sense of the signs they give.
The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare’s First Folio
by Emma SmithShakespeare's First Folio, published in 1623, is one of the world's most studied books, prompting speculation about everything from proof-reading practices in the early modern publishing industry to the 'true' authorship of Shakespeare's plays. Arguments about the nature of the First Folio are crucial to every modern edition of Shakespeare and thus to every reader or student of the plays. This Companion surveys the critical methods brought to bear on the Folio and equips readers with the tools to understand it and to develop their skills in early modern book culture more generally. A team of international scholars surveys the range of bibliographic, historical and textual material relating to the Folio, its editors, collectors and critical reception. This revealing volume will be of wide interest to scholars of Shakespeare, the history of the book and early modern drama.
The Cambridge Companion to Victorian Women’s Writing
by Linda H. PetersonThe Cambridge Companion to Victorian Women's Writing brings together chapters by leading scholars to provide innovative and comprehensive coverage of Victorian women writers' careers and literary achievements. While incorporating the scholarly insights of modern feminist criticism, it also reflects new approaches to women authors that have emerged with the rise of book history; periodical studies; performance studies; postcolonial studies; and scholarship on authorship, readership, and publishing. It traces the Victorian woman writer's career - from making her debut to working with publishers and editors to achieving literary fame - and challenges previous thinking about genres in which women contributed with success. Chapters on poetry, including a discussion of poetry in colonial and imperial contexts, reveal women's engagements with each other and male writers. Discussions on drama, life writing, reviewing, history, travel writing, and children's literature uncover the remarkable achievement of women in fields relatively unknown.
The Cambridge Handbook of Literary Authorship
by Ingo Berensmeyer Gert Buelens Marysa DemoorThis Handbook surveys the state of the art in literary authorship studies. Its 27 original contributions by eminent scholars offer a multi-layered account of authorship as a defining element of literature and culture. Covering a vast chronological range, Part I considers the history of authorship from cuneiform writing to contemporary digital publishing; it discusses authorship in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, early Jewish cultures, medieval, Renaissance, modern, postmodern and Chinese literature. The second part focuses on the place of authorship in literary theory, and on challenges to theorizing literary authorship, such as gender and sexuality, postcolonial and indigenous contexts for writing. Finally, Part III investigates practical perspectives on the topic, with a focus on attribution, anonymity and pseudonymity, plagiarism and forgery, copyright and literary property, censorship, publishing and marketing and institutional contexts.
The Cambridge Handbook of Meeting Science
by Allen, Joseph A. and Lehmann-Willenbrock, Nale and Rogelberg, Steven G. Joseph A. Allen Nale Lehmann-Willenbrock Steven G. RogelbergThis first volume to analyze the science of meetings offers a unique perspective on an integral part of contemporary work life. More than just a tool for improving individual and organizational effectiveness and well-being, meetings provide a window into the very essence of organizations and employees' experiences with the organization. The average employee attends at least three meetings per week and managers spend the majority of their time in meetings. Meetings can raise individuals, teams, and organizations to tremendous levels of achievement. However, they can also undermine effectiveness and well-being. The Cambridge Handbook of Meeting Science assembles leading authors in industrial and organizational psychology, management, marketing, organizational behavior, anthropology, sociology, and communication to explore the meeting itself, including pre-meeting activities and post-meeting activities. It provides a comprehensive overview of research in the field and will serve as an invaluable starting point for scholars who seek to understand and improve meetings.

The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain
by David MckitterickThe years 1830-1914 witnessed a revolution in the manufacture and use of books as great as that in the fifteenth century. Using new technology in printing, paper-making and binding, publishers worked with authors and illustrators to meet ever-growing and more varied demands from a population seeking books at all price levels. The essays by leading book historians in this volume show how books became cheap, how publishers used the magazine and newspaper markets to extend their influence, and how book ownership became universal for the first time. The fullest account ever published of the nineteenth-century revolution in printing, publishing and bookselling, this volume brings the Cambridge History of the Book in Britain up to a point when the world of books took on a recognisably modern form.
The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain: Volume 7, The Twentieth Century and Beyond (The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain)
by Dr Andrew Nash Professor Claire Squires I. R. WillisonThe Cambridge History of the Book in Britain is an authoritative series which surveys the history of publishing, bookselling, authorship and reading in Britain.

It examines in detail key market sectors over the course of the period, and concludes with a series of essays concentrating on aspects of book history: the book in wartime; class, democracy and value; books and other media; intellectual property and copyright; and imperialism and post-imperialism.

Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture: Translation as Transformation in Victorian Poetry
by Annmarie DruryTranslation as Transformation in Victorian Poetry illuminates the dynamic mutual influences of poetic and translation cultures in Victorian Britain, drawing on new materials, archival and periodical, to reveal the range of thinking about translation in the era. The results are a new account of Victorian translation and fresh readings both of canonical poems (including those by Browning and Tennyson) and of non-canonical poems (including those by Michael Field). Revealing Victorian poets to be crucial agents of intercultural negotiation in an era of empire, Annmarie Drury shows why and how meter matters so much to them, and locates the origins of translation studies within Victorian conundrums. She explores what it means to 'sound Victorian' in twentieth-century poetic translation, using Swahili as a case study, and demonstrates how and why it makes sense to consider Victorian translation as world literature in action.
Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture: Dickens and The Business of Death
by Claire WoodCharles Dickens is famous for his deathbed scenes, but these have rarely been examined within the context of his ambivalence towards the Victorian commodification of death. Dickens repeatedly criticised ostentatious funeral and mourning customs, and asserted the harmful consequences of treating the corpse as an object of speculation rather than sympathy. At the same time, he was fascinated by those who made a living from death and recognised that his authorial profits implicated him in the same trade. This book explores how Dickens turned mortality into the stuff of life and art as he navigated a thriving culture of death-based consumption. It surveys the diverse ways in which death became a business, from body-snatching, undertaking, and joint-stock cemetery companies, to the telling and selling of stories. This broad study offers fresh perspectives on death in The Old Curiosity Shop and Our Mutual Friend, and discusses lesser-known works and textual illustrations.
Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics: Conversation Analysis
by Rebecca CliftWe live our lives in conversation, building families, societies and civilisations. In over seven thousand languages across the world, the basic infrastructure by which we communicate remains the same. This is the first ever book-length linguistic introduction to conversation analysis (CA), the field that has done more than any other to illuminate the mechanics of interaction. Starting by locating CA by reference to a number of cognate disciplines investigating language in use, it provides an overview of the origins and methodology of CA. By using conversational data from a range of languages, it examines the basic apparatus of sequence organisation: turn-taking, preference, identity construction and repair. As the basis for these investigations, the book uses the twin analytic resources of action and sequence to throw new light on the origins and nature of language use.
Camelia: Save Yourself by Telling the Truth-A Memoir of Iran
by Camelia Entekhabifard George MurerCamelia Entekhabifard was six years old in 1979 when the shah of Iran was overthrown by revolutionary supporters of the Ayatollah Khomeini. By the age of sixteen, Camelia was a nationally celebrated poet, and at eighteen she was one of the youngest reformist journalists in Tehran. Just eight years later she was imprisoned, held in solitary confinement, and charged with breaching national security and challenging the authority of the Islamic regime. Camelia is both a story of growing up in post-revolutionary Tehran and a haunting reminder of the consequences of speaking the truth in a repressive society.
