Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market. Disclaimer: This handbook is an independently produced resource for commentary and analysis. The author has no affiliation with the International ISBN Agency, R.R. Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency. This work is independently produced under the principle of nominative fair use.

As Tres Marias
Rachel Queiroz · 2005
Em seu quarto romance, As três Marias, a escritora cearense Rachel de Queiroz foi ainda mais fundo em um tema que já estava presente em todas as suas obras anteriores: o papel da mulher na sociedade. A história tem início nos pátios e salas de aula de um colégio interno dirigido por freiras: Maria Augusta, Maria da Glória e Maria José são amigas inseparáveis que ganham de seus colegas e professores o apelido de "as três Marias". À noite, deitadas na grama e olhando para o céu, as meninas se reconhecem na constelação com a qual dividem o nome. A estrela de cima é Maria da Glória, resplandecente e próxima. Maria José se identifica com a da outra ponta, pequenina e trêmula. A do meio, serena e de luz azulada, é Maria Augusta - ou simplesmente Guta, como sempre preferiu ser chamada.
Ainda Estou Aqui (Em Portuguese do Brasil)
Marcelo Rubens Paiva · 2015
Trinta e cinco anos depois de Feliz ano velho, a luta de uma família pela verdade<br/><br/>Eunice Paiva é uma mulher de muitas vidas. Casada com o deputado Rubens Paiva, esteve ao seu lado quando foi cassado e exilado, em 1964. Mãe de cinco filhos, passou a criá-los sozinha quando, em 1971, o marido foi preso por agentes da ditadura, a seguir torturado e morto. Em meio à dor, ela se reinventou. Voltou a estudar, tornou-se advogada, defensora dos direitos indígenas. Nunca chorou na frente das câmeras.<br/><br/>Ao falar de Eunice, e de sua última luta, desta vez contra o Alzheimer, Marcelo Rubens Paiva fala também da memória, da infância e do filho. E mergulha num momento negro da história recente brasileira para contar — e tentar entender — o que de fato ocorreu com Rubens Paiva, seu pai, naquele janeiro de 1971.
