Até o início da década de 1960, as sessões de cinema da capital catarinense eram batizadas com títulos diversos, identificando a que grupos estavam endereçadas. Nas crônicas escritas na cidade, a mais citada é a Sessão das Moças, que tinha lugar no Cine Ritz, no Centro de Florianópolis, entre 1943 e 1962 e que figurava no calendário de lazer ilhéu. A sessão pode ser compreendida como um misto de construtora de redes de sociabilidades e espaço pedagógico, pois projetava representações de ser, agir e sentir, possíveis de serem apropriados pela audiência presente. Ao lado de imagens de moda e beleza, os filmes exibidos na sessão exploravam representações do amor romântico em todas as suas etapas: do inesperado primeiro encontro ao casamento redentor. Ademais, as temáticas evidenciavam as lições envolvendo a moral, a valorização da família e a contenção das pulsões.
Ao falarmos do clown (ou palhaço), referimo-nos não apenas a uma tradição ligada ao circo e ao teatro, mas à manifestação de um tipo cômico que tem suas raízes nas mais antigas civilizações humanas. O clown é descendente direto da tipologia da máscara do riso da antiguidade, passando pela baixa comédia greco-romana, pelo bufão da baixa Idade Média, pelo bobo da corte medieval e renascentista, pela commédia dell'arte italiana, pelos festejos carnavalescos medievais, pelo teatro popular e religioso da renascença e por todos aqueles histriões que atuavam em praças e feiras desempenhando papéis de comicidade, apoiados na arte do improviso, nas brincadeiras, nos jogos e nas situações corriqueiras do dia-a-dia. A presente obra pode ser compreendida como um "primeiro olhar" para aqueles que desejam imergir no universo lúdico e quimérico do clown.
Se a velhice fosse percebida como mais uma etapa do desenvolvimento humano, que pode ser bem aproveitada, vivida com total liberdade, com total autonomia subjetiva e de forma bem criativa, os indivíduos sentir-se-iam incentivados a percorrer novos caminhos e a buscar novos horizontes, novos objetivos, novos desafios, novos interesses e novas experiências que viessem conferir sentido à sua existência. Acreditamos que a presente obra, situada no âmbito dos Estudos Culturais, vem dar um contributo para a construção de uma nova consciência que busque quebrar os mitos e os tabus erigidos acerca da velhice, a fim de superarmos as imagens negativas e discriminatórias construídas socialmente acerca da pessoa idosa. Acreditamos, também, que esta obra é de fundamental relevância para as instâncias produtoras de políticas de envelhecimento, que precisam se preparar para as transformações, que começam a ter lugar num cenário de envelhecimento presente e futuro, e que deverão se adequar à essa nova realidade.
Cork oak has historically been an important species in the western Mediterranean—ecologically as a canopy or “framework” tree in natural woodlands, and culturally as an economically valuable resource that underpins local economies. Both the natural woodlands and the derived cultural systems are experiencing rapid change, and whether or not they are resilient enough to adapt to that change is an open question. Cork Oak Woodlands on the Edge provides a synthesis of the most up-to-date, scientific, and practical information on the management of cork oak woodlands and the cultural systems that depend on cork oak. In addition, Cork Oak Woodlands on the Edge offers ten site profiles written ...
Modern seismology has faced new challenges in the study of earthquakes and their physical characteristics. This volume is dedicated to the use of new approaches and presents a state-of-the-art in historical seismology. Selected historical and recent earthquakes are chosen to document and constrain related seismic parameters using updated methodologies in the macroseismic analysis, field observations of damage distribution and tectonic effects, and modelling of seismic waveforms.
Although bioactive compounds in milk and dairy products have been extensively studied during the last few decades – especially in human and bovine milks and some dairy products – very few publications on this topic are available, especially in other dairy species’ milk and their processed dairy products. Also, little is available in the areas of bioactive and nutraceutical compounds in bovine and human milks, while books on other mammalian species are non-existent. Bioactive Components in Milk and Dairy Products extensively covers the bioactive components in milk and dairy products of many dairy species, including cows, goats, buffalo, sheep, horse, camel, and other minor species.

Hugh Johnson has won a legion of fans with his keen ability to make the sometimes complex topic of wine wonderfully lucid—and every year, his popular pocket guide is a bestseller. That makes it number one in the market. Here, in it’s 30th anniversary year, he has completely revised and updated this classic, offering more current news than ever on over 6,000 wines, growers, and regions, along with up-to-the-minute vintage information, recommended wines (including budget options), and star ratings. With this book in hand, wine lovers won’t need anything else to help them select anything from a bottle for an everyday dinner to a prestige vintage for investment. A new section showcases Johnson’s special, personal choices, and there are plenty of quick-reference maps, charts, and fact boxes for a little extra guidance.

The papers discuss a range of topics including: Temporal, Spatial, and High Dimensional Databases; Data Mining; Authenticity, Privacy, Security, and Trust; Data Clustering; Distributed and Big Data Processing; Decision Support Systems, and Learning; Data Streams; Data Integration, and Interoperability; Semantic Web, and Data Semantics; Social Networks, and Network Analysis; Linked Data; Data Analysis; NoSQL, NewSQL; Multimedia Data; Personal Information Management; Semantic Web and Ontologies; Database and Information System Architectures; Query Answering and Optimization; Information Retrieval, and Keyword Search; Data Modelling, and Uncertainty.
"Structural Control” remains a crucial point that frequently lacks in any scientific and/or economic analysis of ore deposits, whatever their type and class. The case of lode deposits is exemplary, although also other deposits, like breccia pipe, stockwerk, massive sulphides, skarn, etc., can, surprisingly, be concerned. Several concepts like the gold-bearing shear zone have not proven valid during the last few decades in terms of our understanding of gold deposit and have been totally abandoned. Additionally, the relationships between magmatism, regional tectonic context, and mineralization remain uncertain and have been debated in several recent publications. This demonstrates that this ...
Processes of multi-scalar regional urbanization are occurring worldwide. Such processes are clearly distinguishable from those of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries due to the shifting concepts of both the city and the metropolis. International literature highlights how what we have historically associated with the idea of cities has long been subjected to consistent reconfiguration, which involves stressing some of the typical features of the idea of "cityness". Post-Metropolitan Territories: Looking for a New Urbanity is the product of a research project funded by the Italian Ministry for Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It constitutes a thorough overview of a country that ...
