Social Conflict

A Comunicação Não Violenta (CNV) é um dos temas mais transformadores e fundamentais que nós da Sextante já publicamos.

Assim podemos descobrir o que fazer para enriquecer essa vida".

In Fierce Love, Susan Scott guides couples through conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting commitment.

In this "smart, clear and timely" book (Washington Post), Nasr brilliantly dissects the political and theological antagonisms within Islam. He provides a unique and objective understanding of the 1,400-year bitter struggle between Shias and Sunnis, and sheds crucial light on its modern-day consequences—from the nuclear posturing of Iran's President Ahmadinejad to the recent U.S.-enabled shift toward Shia power in Iraq and Hezbollah's continued dominance in Lebanon.
