Arquitetura Neoclássica em Campinas: A Catedral Nossa Senhora da Conceição: Desenho e Conexões (1807-1883)
Este livro é sobre a linguagem arquitetônica da fachada principal e do retábulo-mor da Catedral Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Campinas, a partir da apuração dos processos de levantamento métrico e do seu desenho instrumental da época de sua constituição, fornecendo uma reconstituição da sua orientação clássica, estudando-a como fonte e documento histórico, por meio do seu testemunho material, tornando, assim, a Catedral Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Campinas um objeto paradigmático da arquitetura clássica da cidade dentro de um contexto brasileiro. A ideia é demonstrar, portanto, como a Catedral de Campinas foi projetada dentro de preceptivas clássicas com diversas autorias, períodos e vertentes teóricas, tendo como resultado um todo único, híbrido, erudito, recriativo, exemplar, contrariando a historiografia vigente de que a arquitetura do século XIX no Brasil é uma "cópia de modelos importados".
City Museums and City Development
Traditionally, city museums have been keepers of city history. Many have been exercises in nostalgia, reflecting city pride. However, a new generation of museums focuses increasingly on the city's present and future as well as its past, and on the city in all of its diversity, challenges, and possibilities. Above all, these museums are gateways to understanding the city—our greatest and most complex creation and the place where half the world's population now lives. In this book, experts in the field explore this 'new' city museum and the challenge of contributing positively to city development.

The Video Game Debate 2
This student-friendly book provides an accessible overview of the primary debates about the effects of video games. It expands on the original The Video Game Debate to address the new technologies that have emerged within the field of game studies over the last few years. Debates about the negative effects of video game play have been evident since their introduction in the 1970s, but the advent of online and mobile gaming has revived these concerns, reinvigorating old debates and generating brand new ones. The Video Game Debate 2 draws from the latest research findings from the top scholars of digital games research to address these concerns. The book explores key developments such as virtual and augmented reality, the use of micro-transactions, the integration of loot boxes, and the growth of mobile gaming and games for change (serious games). Furthermore, several new chapters explore contemporary debates around e-sports, gamification, sex and gender discrimination in games, and the use of games in therapy. This book offers students and scholars of games studies and digital media, as well as policymakers, the essential information they need to participate in the debate.
