      abstract = {An alluring land famous for samba, soccer, supermodels,  and stunning tropical beaches, Brazil was described as  "paradise on earth" by its first Portuguese explorers. Its  annual Carnival is known the world over for its Dionysian  revelry, and its Amazon rainforest is considered one of the  planet's most precious resources. Yet two decades ago  Brazil had a crippling debt and was emerging from a  military dictatorship. Today Brazil is not only the world's  eighth largest economy with a vibrant democracy, and may  soon be a major energy exporter. Here, New York Times Rio  bureau chief Larry Rohter gives us the definitive look at  the country's amazing rebirth, through interviews with  every important political, business, cultural, and  religious leader on the scene, delivering a sharp and fresh  account of the country's rapid and radical changes.--From  publisher description.},
