Important aspects and relationships are carefully selected to characterize our socio-spatial formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe notion of \"territorial use\" is the foundation of this approach. Technical systems—objects and ways of doing things—allow us to explain how, where, by whom, why, and for what purpose this territory is used. Delimiting periods and reconstructing contexts lead to the recognition of heritages and, at the same time, intentions. Each region embraces certain modernizations and dynamic actors, crystallizing ancient uses and generating new rationalities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The authors' analysis, however, takes into account the emerging facts of the early 21st century and the new features of the economy, society, and politics. These emerge here through the redefinition of relations between land and people, more than ever inserted into international circles. Thus, a portrait of the country emerges that is still relevant today, with the potential to illuminate the search for future paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe book shows how we left the idea of a Brazilian nation to the global market. The result of a partnership between Milton Santos and María Laura Silveira, it also brings together eight thematic contributions from different authors who analyze related topics: the material foundations of telecommunications and information technology; the design of the Brazilian road network; the new role of agriculture; metropolitan services in the era of globalization; among others. It thus provides a comprehensive view of the national reality, achieved through one of the most defining and comprehensive aspects of this reality: territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe result of extensive research, \u003cem\u003eBrazil: Territory and Society at the Beginning of the 21st Century\u003c\/em\u003e constructs, from the perspective of geographers, an interdisciplinary view of Brazilian reality. Using accessible language, it is suitable for reading not only by specialists but also by other social scientists, administrators, politicians, and the general reader. Its greatest ambition is to reach a broad audience and actively participate in the national debate.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176318451964,"sku":"9786555873061","price":109.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/ec13ec9726c1ccf021bbc336834081d0.jpg?v=1778316359"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/maria-laura-silveira.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
