Principles of Biochemestry - heavy academic book on Biochemestry. Not just for bio persons: chapters have introductions readable by most persons, and this material will even interest students for matters of Artificial Life.
Computer Arts - from the industrial, popular press of Future Publishing, comes an interesting magazine, on computer creative stuff. The cover will always write "tutorials on product xpto", but you shouldn't expect complete step-by-step guides. Still, one of the best magazines you can buy. |

Diplomacia - Henry Kissinger consegue escrever mais de 1000 páginas, sobre a história das diplomacias ocidentais. O mais curioso é que até se lê bem :)
ÁUDIO - a única publicação portuguesa na EISA (European Sound & Imaging Association). Escrita em português europeu, com opiniões muito isentas. |

Big Daddy / Um pai à maneira - uma comédia irresistível, absolutamente hilariante, mas que cai bastante nos minutes finais. 90 minutos, que deveriam ter sido 70. |
