Brazilian Caatinga a Dry Subject
Geography professor Susan Woodward had wanted to see the Brazilian caatinga since she read about it in a class she took in college. Last summer, during her second trip to Brazil, she had her opportunity. Woodward's trip was part of an ongoing exchange program between RU and the Federal University of Pernambuco, a state in Northeastern Brazil. She wanted to investigate the possibility of establishing a directed field study program involving RU students and students from the University of Pernambuco. One RU student accompanied her on the trip. Woodward was invited by former RU student Antonio Correa to give a short course on arid lands biogeography. For five mornings, Correa interpreted while Woodward taught 15 Brazilian geography students about the western deserts of the U.S. In turn, the students offered comparisons with the backlandsthe caatingaof western Brazil. The following week, Woodward and five of the students took a four-day field trip to observe vegetation types in the backlands. "I loved it," said Woodward. "It was like a desert, but with all new species." Woodward also visited historic sugar cane fields and plantations in the area first settled by the Portugese. She experienced the changes in climate and vegetation as she moved from the coastal zone, through the sugar cane and up to the backlands plateau.

19. Brazilian Immigration
The brazilian geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE) found a statistical absence of 1,379,928 Brazilians between the ages of 20 to 44 from the 1991 census
http://members.aol.com/plcooney/brimmig.html
Brazilian Immigration Used Katheryn Gallant (http://www.brazil-brasil.com/cvrmar96.htm) and Davis. Brazil used to be a country that received immigrants from around the world. Before the 1960s, Brazil was a country that people immigrated to. In recent years, however, at least a million Brazilians have immigrated to the US, Europe and Japan. This trend may be increased by the recent Brazilian economic problems. In 1969 the Banco do Brasil opened a New York branch. In the same year he Brazilian-American chamber of Commerce was founded to promote trade and investment between the two countries. (Davis p. 10) Since April 1991, there have been no official statistics about Brazilian emigrants. We only know that the number of passports issued by the Federal Police in 1993 came to a total of 436,177. Of this number, we do not know how many decided to emigrate. We do know that the overwhelming majority of Brazilians in the United States (87 percent) were born in Brazil. The Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE) found a statistical "absence" of 1,379,928 Brazilians between the ages of 20 to 44 from the 1991 census (which IBGE researchers discovered while examining the census demographics). The most logical explanation is Brazilian emigration. Perhaps half of the emigrant Brazilians live in the United States. The largest Brazilian settlements are on the East Coast. New York is estimated to have between 80,000 to 150,000 Brazilian emigrants. Another 150,000 are estimated to live in Boston, 65,000 in Florida (mostly in the Miami area), 20,000 in California, 10,000 in Houston, Texas ,and another 10,000 in Washington, DC.
