Some [ ... ]might prefer the one, and some other prefer "At Shiva's Feet". It is shorter, and the rythm is more balanced. As regards [ ... ] I agree with your remarks in the abstracts, but am puzzled to see later application. What is the question that I did [ ... ] but which you want to answer ?

19760185London, Dialogue Publications Ltd, 1976. in English. Rare 70s publication about the Amazon rainforest, few copies printed. "This is the tenth of a series of papers prepared by the Brazilian Embassy" after a few on the Brazilian development model, inflation control and economic growth, foreign policy, etc. A tall in-4 softcover booklet of 297 x 212 mm. 35 pp. Twelve chapters, many black-and-white pictures, colored maps of Brazil and the Amazon region. List of chapters: The World of the Amazon, the People of the Amazon, the Traditional Economy of Amazonia, the First seven years of the SUDAM project, the New Development Strategy of Polamazonia, the Free Zone of Manaus, the Amazonian Bank of BASA, Agriculture in Amazonia, New Roads in Amazonia, Modern Man in Amazonia, The Traveller in Amazonia and Science and the Amazon. "When the Brazilian Government launched 'Operation Amazonia' in 1966, it rekindled the country's concern for this vast region of forest and river. For most Brazilians, interest in Amazonia had faded since th collapse of the rubber boom and extravagant life that went with it in the early years of this century. But in the past ten years there has been a radical and continuing change in Amazonia's fortunes, the impact of which is already being felt. Today it is not only Brazilians who are interested in Amazonia. The Brazilian Embassy in London receives more requests for information about the region than about any other in the country. The booklet contains as much basic and up to date information on Amazonia as possible: it is intended to serve as a guide for those who are already acquainted with the region's resources and potentialities." This booklet is now almost impossible to find aside from a few higher learning libraries. Issued by a sovereign, developing country, while the rainforest was garnering interest yet had no political stakes as it does today.

19980109London, Phaidon, 1999. A hardbound in-quarto volume with dust jacket and protective mylar, 278 x 200 mm, 146 pp. SIGNED by Mario Testino at the top of the title page. "Provocative and unexpected, Any Objections? is a lightning roller-coaster of unpublished images which brilliantly illuminates the vision of one of photography's shrewdest eyes. Fashion and the gutter, nature and artifice, high life and low, jostle for his attention. Faces of the very famous in the least expected places, bodies of the very beautiful, landscapes and cities, close friends and extraordinary passersby all find their place in a pattern which is held together by Testino's evident sense of the absurd. The book is an insight into the raw material of fashion, where a glimpse of life from a street in Tangier can be the inspiration for a fashion story in New York. At once diary and commentary, picture after picture (all reproduced full-page) provoke reactions as diverse as their subject-matter: from shock to amusement and from surprise to delight. Whether or not you have any objections, you can't help being intrigued by Testino's very personal view of the world that surrounds him." (Front flap)
19920199São Paulo, BM&F, 1992. Revised edition. In English. One hardcover volume, 285 x 225 mm, 254 pp. Illustrated dust jacket with flaps. Headbands. Printed on couché paper, well illustrated with black and white photographs and color prints of artworks, including a b&w photo of Victor Brecheret, Di Cavalcanti, Menotti del Picchia, Oswald de Andrade and Hélio Seelinger as frontispiece. Published as part of the celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the Modern Art Week of 1922. "This book has blazed new paths towards a comprehensive and fertile understanding. It was originally published in 1970 and now, after so many years, the abridged text of this edition still preserves a pioneering stamp that could only be achieved through sensitivity and a steadfast prospecting of sources. In the field of plastic arts, what would be the meaning of a cultural construction of Brazil? Would it imply highlighting certain subjects? The fundamental contribution of the modernists was precisely the fact that it posed the problem of national culture."
