My Sweet Orange Tree is a worldwide classic of children's literature – never out of print in Brazil since it was first published in 1968, it has also been translated into an astonishing number of languages and won the hearts of millions of young readers from Korea to turkey, Poland to Thailand and in many other countries too. José Mauro de Vasconcelos (1920-84) was a Brazilian writer who worked as a sparring partner for boxers, a labourer on a banana farm, and a fisherman before he started writing at the age of 22. He is most famous for his autobiographical novel My Sweet Orange Tree, which tells the story of his own childhood in Rio de Janeiro.
For the first time ever, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate His Holiness the Dalai Lama addresses children directly, sharing lessons of peace and compassion, told through stories of his own childhood. One of today's most inspiring world leaders was once an ordinary child named Lhamo Thondup. In a small village in Tibet, his mother was his first great teacher of compassion. In everyday moments from his childhood, young readers begin to see that important lessons are all around us, and that they, too, can grow to truly understand them. With simple, powerful text, the Dalai Lama shares the universalist teachings of treating one another with compassion, which Bao Luu illustrates beautifully in vibrant color. In an increasingly confusing world, The Seed of Compassion offers guidance and encouragement on how we all might bring more kindness to it.

A Astrologia tradicional estuda a influência dos Astros nos destinos da humanidade e não se sabe em que ponto de sua cultura os ciganos incorporaram os conhecimentos dos elementos da cultura greco-romana, cujas lendas estão presentes no Zodíaco. Vagos e esparsos documentos indicam que foi em sua passagem pelo Egito, principalmente, que os ciganos desenvolveram seus conhecimentos sobre a aplicação prática da astrologia à vida e ao destino dos homens. Como tudo ao seu alcance, os ciganos buscavam a praticidade, descartando conhecimentos supérfluos ou complicados. Preocupava-os saber como os astros influenciavam as pessoas nascidas e isso se prestou às interpretações que, com uma habilidade natural, eles desenvolviam desde o começo dos tempos.Como as outras práticas divinatórias ciganas, no entanto, a Astrologia cigana foi proibida durante o período de perseguições, atrasando seu desenvolvimento. Nesse período, registros escritos existentes foram destruídos, por questões de segurança, perdendo-se, assim, um conhecimento precioso e antigo.
