The role of invisible powers in the evolution of species


“Five theories for evolution” is the theme in the Special that we publish in this edition, authored by our writing colleague Ricardo Baesso de Oliveira, a physician and professor based in Juiz de Fora (MG), who has been a member of the Editorial Board since its foundation of this magazine. At the end of the article, he presents and comments what is taught on the subject in spiritist works. The article is one of the highlights of this issue.


Another highlight is the interview given to us by Ivo Machado da Costa, from Presidente Bernardes, who now lives in São Carlos (SP). He is a professor linked to the Department of Mathematics at UFSCar (Federal University of São Carlos), he participates in the spiritist works of the Spiritist Center Nosso Lar and Obreiros do Bem, both located in his city.


In this issue, Thiago Bernardes presents us with a special article on the Scottish medium Elizabeth Hope, who became known worldwide under the name of Madame d'Espérance. She was born on May 13, 1849, in Edinburgh, the medium died on July 20, 1918, aged 69, in the city of Leipzig, Germany.
