Leitura e escrita no ciberespaço
Nas primeiras décadas do século XXI, houve um crescimento significativo de pesquisas voltadas ao uso das tecnologias relacionadas aos diversos contextos de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas. As tecnologias digitais, popularizadas no Brasil nos anos 1990, possibilitaram um movimento novo em direção à pesquisa e ao ensino. No campo da Linguística Aplicada, por exemplo, os estudos buscam investigar, testar e avaliar os impactos das novas tecnologias para o ensino. Diante disso, a obra aqui apresentada partiu do questionamento: Como as pesquisas em Linguística Aplicada estão se orientando na esfera educacional no tempo/espaço da contemporaneidade? Convidamos você, leitor, para juntos refletirmos sobre as vozes sociais voltadas para leitura e escrita no ciberespaço em tempos hipermodernos.

The Fabrication of Louis XIV
Louis XIV was a man like any other, but the money and attention lavished on his public image by the French government transformed him into a godlike figure. In this engrossing book, an internationally respected historian gives an account of contemporary representations of Louis XIV and shows how the making of the royal image illuminates the relationship between art and power. Images of Louis XIV included hundreds of oil paintings and engravings, three-hundred-odd medals struck to commemorate the major events of the reign, sculptures, and bronzes, as well as plays, ballets (in which the king himself sometimes appeared on stage), operas, odes, sermons, official newspapers and histories, firewo...
Ocotillo Dreams
"Set in Chandler, Arizona, during the city's infamous 1997 migrant sweeps, Ocotillo Dreams delivers a wallop that resonates in today's volatile immigration debate. But this is no run-of-the-mill border-debate tale. In this captivating first novel, author Melinda Palacio skillfully weaves a story of politics, intrigue, love, and trust. Isola, a young woman who inherits her mother's Chandler home, relocates from California only to find that her mother had lived a secret life of helping undocumented immigrants and that one such immigrant apparently was involved with her. Isola must confront her own confusion and sense of loyalty in a strange and overtly hostile environment. As she gets to know her mother from clues left behind, she grapples with issues of identity and belonging that eventually lead her to explore her life's meaning and to reconnect with her roots."--Jacket.

The English-language debut of a master stylist: a compassionate but relentless novel about the long, dark harvest of Brazil’s totalitarian rule A professor prepares to retire—Gustavo is set to move from Sao Paulo to the countryside, but it isn’t the urban violence he’s fleeing: what he fears most is the violence of his memory.

The British in the Americas 1480-1815
Of northern European nations, the British had the greatest impact on the Americas. Their history there embraces far more than the colonies that became the United States: England had been in the New World for a century before those colonies were established, and the British presence long outlived their loss. This integrated account of that involvement spans the entire arc of British territories from the Caribbean to Canada, and the entire period from the first appearance of the English to the disintegration of the British and other Euro-American empires. A fascinating story, engrossingly told, it fills a major gap in current historiography.
