English | 2006 | pages: 283 | ISBN: 0521820448 | PDF | 1,7 mb
This is a general survey of Brazilian society, economy, and political system since 1980. It describes the basic changes occurring as Brazil was transformed from a predominantly rural and closed economy under military rule into a modern democratic, industrial and urbanized society, with an extraordinary world class commercial agriculture in the past 60 years. In this period, Brazil passed from a pre-modern high fertility and mortality society to a modern low fertility and mortality one, the economy approached hyper inflation many times, and it abandoned a policy of protected industrialization to an economy opened to world trade. The advances and the failures of these changes are examined for the impact on questions of growth and equality. The book is designed as a basic introduction to contemporary Brazil from a recent historical perspective and is one of the first such comprehensive surveys of recent Brazilian history and development in any language.

Free Download Rock progressivo Italiano – 1980-2013 di Massimo Salari
Italiano | 28 gennaio 2021 | ISBN: 8892770055 | True EPUB | 415 pagine | 7.4 MB
Il rock progressivo italiano ha vissuto anni di intenso splendore, soprattutto lungo gli anni Settanta del secolo scorso. Molti i gruppi che ne hanno decretato l’altissimo livello espressivo: PFM, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Le Orme, Area e altri. In genere gli osservatori e gli storici concordano nel sancirne la fine nel 1980, anno fatidico in cui tutte le spinte di quella meravigliosa stagione sembrerebbero essersi definitivamente sopite.

The story of the legendary musician’s incredible last year.
John Lennon 1980 traces the powerful, life-affirming story of the former Beatle’s remarkable comeback after five years of self-imposed retirement. Lennon’s final pivotal year would climax in several moments of creative triumph as he rediscovered his artistic self in dramatic fashion. With the bravura release of the Double Fantasy album with wife, Yoko Ono, he was poised and ready for an even brighter future only to be wrenched from the world by an assassin’s bullets. John Lennon 1980 isn’t about how the gifted songwriter died, but rather, about how he lived.
