N2  - The core of this book derives from a seminal dissertation research about the New Age movement in Brazil conducted back in the mid-1990s. The topical scholarship was relatively thin, reflecting the novelty of the phe-nomenon and a certain academic lag to engage with unestablished phenomena.--Provided by publisher
