A estrutura dos textos deste livro segue um estilo diferente do comumente encontrado em trabalhos de teoria literária. A intenção é que o leitor se sinta em uma sala de aula, participando de uma conversa por vezes informal, porém informativa, sobre os vários caminhos que a narrativa pode traçar. Este é um livro de ensaios, escrito por pesquisadores das mais diferentes literaturas. Aqui, serão encontradas produções que irão do amor à es tética literária ao grotesco como elemento estético. A pluralidade da sala de aula proporcionou reflexões inéditas aos alunos da UnB, e agora é o momento de compartilhá-las.
"Muitas vezes, o passado de nossa família só é conhecido através do que os mais velhos nos contam. Porém, é parte da natureza humana modificar, quase sempre de forma involuntária, as histórias narradas. Para chegar aos fatos, as informações que por sorte não se perdem exigem ainda um esforço de investigação e interpretação. Fruto de extensa pesquisa em fontes oficiais – jornais, documentos, registros cartoriais e eclesiásticos – e certa persistência do autor em abordar os familiares atrás de memórias relevantes, este livro é uma primeira tentativa de resgatar a origem da família Schuler em Pernambuco, trazendo à luz, sempre que possível dentro do contexto histórico, os passos de suas primeiras gerações."
In this work, Manuel Portela explores the expressive use of book forms and programmable media in experimental works of both print and electronic literature and finds a self-conscious play with the dynamics of reading and writing.
Euclides da Cunha's classic account of the brutal campaigns against religious mystic Antonio Conselheiro has been called the Bible of Brazilian nationality. "Euclides da Cunha went on the campaigns [against Conselheiro] as a journalist and what he returned with and published in 1902 is still unsurpassed in Latin American literature. Cunha is a talent as grand, spacious, entangled with knowledge, curiosity, and bafflement as the country itself. . . . On every page there is a heart of idea, speculation, dramatic observation that tells of a creative mission undertaken, the identity of the nation, and also the creation of a pure and eloquent prose style."—Elizabeth Hardwick, Bartleby in Manhattan
Historically, natural products have great relevance for the development of new drugs. Natural molecules, in addition to directly providing new compounds with different therapeutic functions have provided scaffolds and a great diversity of structures that serve as inspiration for the design and discovery of new drugs. The great structural complexity and the significant number of natural compounds that can be obtained and their advantages also present some historical problems that need to be overcome. Issues such as difficulty in isolation, difficulty in synthesizing compounds found in nature in the laboratory, screening to evaluate the biological properties of these compounds, and structural ...
Despite often taken as a simple procedure, techniques on tracheostomy have evolved considerably on the last few years. Consequently, new technical variations and indications for different purposes are being developed and proposed. The current book is proposed to serve as a comprehensive guide exclusively devoted to tracheostomy, discussing its most important details, variations and indications. Here the reader will find a broad discussion ranging from the most basic pre-clinical aspects to post-surgical procedures and complications. Great emphasis is placed on key topics such as the oncologic patient, variations of the technique, and tracheostomy in the intensive care unit, among others. Additionally, some issues that are not commonly discussed in regular textbooks, like tracheostomy in child and in great obese, are also included. With a wealth of photos, illustrations and tables, Tracheostomy – A Surgical Guide provides the material necessary to support a safe and effective surgical intervention in different populations and surgical contexts, with the hope that it will result in improved care for patients who underwent tracheostomy.
