  As a spiritual pilgrim for more than half a century, Jon Sweeney has practiced with teachers of many religious traditions. He's gone looking for wisdom, beauty, and truth wherever it can be found. But recently he's found himself learning closer to home—from the teacher-cats he lives with. 
   
   
   
  What he discovered is that our greatest spiritual teachers are at our feet. Literally. They are the cats we love and treasure. Nearly 60 million cats live in US households today. These feline teachers have much to offer us about living in the present, loving unconditionally, approaching life with a sense of playfulness, and trusting others, all the while being independent spirits. 
   
   
   
  Jon Sweeney, beloved scholar and author of The Pope's Cat and numerous books about Saint Francis, offers a playful, gentle, informed meditation on the many spiritual truths and practices our feline companions provide if we but pause and pay attention.

  The Rise and Fall of Brazil's...

  Brazil’s industrial foundations were shaped by its colonial past, rich natural resources, and evolving economic policies. The country’s transition from an agrarian economy to an industrial powerhouse was a long and complex process influenced by global trade dynamics, government intervention, and social changes. Understanding these foundations provides insight into the rise and fall of Brazil’s economic giants. 
  The origins of Brazil’s economy date back to the colonial period under Portuguese rule. Initially, the country’s economic activities were centered around agriculture, particularly the production of sugarcane, which became the backbone of Brazil’s early commerce. The Portuguese established large sugar plantations, or engenhos, along the northeastern coast, relying heavily on enslaved labor from Africa. This agricultural-based economy set the stage for Brazil’s role as a key exporter of raw materials, a trend that would persist for centuries. As global demand for sugar declined in the 17th and 18th centuries, Brazil’s economy diversified into gold mining, particularly in the state of Minas Gerais. The discovery of gold and diamonds attracted European settlers and boosted trade, but much of the wealth was extracted by the Portuguese crown, limiting local reinvestment. The reliance on commodity exports, without substantial industrial development, created a pattern that continued into modern times. 
  Brazil’s shift toward industrialization began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, spurred by the decline of slavery, urbanization, and increasing foreign investment. The abolition of slavery in 1888 led to significant demographic changes, with many freed individuals moving to urban centers in search of work. Around the same time, European immigrants arrived in large numbers, bringing skills that contributed to Brazil’s growing workforce. The coffee boom of the late 19th century played a crucial role in financing Brazil’s early industries.
