Brazil's name comes from the tree called brazilwood, used during 350 years to embellish with red color the clothing of powerful people in Europe, and for that reason it turned to be one of Brazil's export riches, collected to a large extent. Over those years, it even became the subject of a number of policies issued by Portuguese, French and Dutch governments; and produced funds to pay for the external debt created in order to enable the country's independence. That is why it was strongly endangered. This book tells this story and presents the present situation of the red wood, including its use for good music, onde the best violin bows in the world are made of brazilwood.

História, meio-ambiente e música são os temas que compõem o livro "Pau-Brasil - a cor e o som", o livro aborda os séculos de história, o momento atual e as utilidades da árvore símbolo do Brasil. O pau-brasil correu risco de extinção devido à sua extração em larga escala desde os primeiros séculos da colonização do país, por fornecer tinta vermelha para tingir as vestimentas de nobres europeus. Agora, a espécie vive processo de recuperação, e a música é um dos principais agentes dessa transformação. Sua madeira dura, pesada e flexível na medida certa é considerada a melhor do mundo para a produção de arcos de instrumentos de cordas, como violinos, violas, violoncelos e contrabaixos. A grande maioria dos arcos do mundo inteiro é feita de pau-brasil.

- While cotton was a world-changing good in the early modern period, for producers, merchants, and consumers, it was but one of many different fabrics. This volume explores this dichotomy by contextualizing cotton within its contemporary culture of textiles. In doing, it focuses on a long, under-researched region: the German-speaking world, particularly Switzerland, which transformed into one of the most prolific European regions for the production of printed cottons in the eighteenth century. Sixteen contributions investigate the (globally entangled) history of Indiennes, silk, wool, and embroideries, giving new insights into the manufacturing, marketing, and consumption of textiles between 1500 and 1900.

Na época do descobrimento do Brasil, alguns europeus ficaram admirados com a peculiaridade da natureza que encontraram. A Mata Atlântica se estendia por cerca de 1,3 milhão de quilômetros quadrados. Este fato marcou a imaginação dos exploradores. A imagem paradisíaca da época, no entanto, mudou bastante. A exploração predatória a que foi submetida destruiu mais de 93% dessa área de fauna e flora. Nesse bioma o pau-brasil é uma das espécies que ainda resiste, apesar de, já no século XVI, ter sofrido uma extração predatória para o uso em tintura de tecidos e construção. Neste livro, o leitor poderá conhecer um pouco sobre esta que se tornou a árvore símbolo do país - O 'Pau-brasil'.

Early Brazil presents a collection of original sources, many published for the first time in English and some never before published in any language, that illustrates the process of conquest, colonization, and settlement in Brazil. The volume emphasizes the actions and interactions of the indigenous peoples, Portuguese, and Africans in the formation of the first extensive plantation colony based on slavery in the Americas, and it also includes documents that reveal the political, social, religious, and economic life of the colony. Original documents on early Brazilian history are difficult to find in English, and this collection will serve the interests of undergraduate students, as well as graduate students, who seek to make comparisons or to understand the history of Portuguese expansion.
