A sweeping and absorbing biography of Brazil, from the sixteenth century to the present

For many Americans, Brazil is a land of contradictions: vast natural resources and entrenched corruption; extraordinary wealth and grinding poverty; beautiful beaches and violence-torn favelas. Brazil occupies a vivid place in the American imagination, and yet it remains largely unknown.

In an extraordinary journey that spans five hundred years, from European colonization to the 2016 Summer Olympics, Lilia M. Schwarcz and Heloisa M. Starling's Brazil offers a rich, dramatic history of this complex country. The authors not only reconstruct the epic story of the nation but follow the shifting byways of food, art, and popular culture; the plights of minorities; and the ups and downs of economic cycles. Drawing on a range of original scholarship in history, anthropology, political science, and economics, Schwarcz and Starling reveal a long process of unfinished social, political, and economic progress and struggle, a story in which the troubled legacy of the mixing of races and postcolonial political dysfunction persist to this day.

Toy disintegrates - a hazard for dogs
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: 2X-Large (Pack of 1), Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: 2X-Large (Pack of 1)
I buy these types of toys for my dogs. They rip them apart and pop the squeakers, having a great time. This is the third time over the past 2 or 3 years I've bought this particular toy. The quality has fallen off a cliff. Whenever my dogs shake it, flecks of the material fly off. These small pieces are very difficult to vacuum and, more seriously, get caught in my dog's teeth and throat. This never happened before, and they actually still have an old version that I occasionally resew with replacement squeakers. If you've bought this toy in the past couple of years, know that this is not the same product.

Love this for our dog
Color: 5 in 1, Size: Small
These are wonderful. They're made well and are the perfect size for small and medium dogs. My yorkie loves them and they're a fun toy to fetch. We love the cannoli and eclair the best since we make those desserts in real life. Packaged well and shipped fast.
