O Brasil em 20 Estados
Como seria o Brasil se fosse dividido em estados com populações parecidas? Há um tempo atrás eu topei com esse mapa dos Estados Unidos divididos em 50 estados com a mesma população e me deu vontade de fazer uma coisa parecida com o Brasil.

Rivers and Whirlpools
Rivers and Whirlpools: a spatial and historical interpretation of La Vorágine The initial scene of the 1972 film, Aguirre, the Wrath of Good, depicts a sixteenth-century expedition descending from the Andeans highlands into the Amazonian lowlands.

The South Atlantic Columbian Exchange
The South Atlantic Columbian Exchange In his classic 1972 book, The Columbian Exchange, Alfred W. Crosby Jr. assesses the biological and cultural consequences of the introduction of new species into transatlantic environments. From 1492 on, different species of animals, plants, viruses and bacteria were exchanged between the Old and New Worlds following their human symbiotic companions. The consequences of these exchanges for human history were manifold — from the decimation of the majority of Americas’ indigenous population by Old-World germs […]
