Eugenia
Este livro trata da eugenia enquanto um campo de produção de conhecimento, estruturado em pressupostos teóricos, práticas sociais e laboratoriais com o propósito de intervir na constituição biológica humana, em estreita sintonia com os debates sobre hereditariedade na passagem do século XIX para o XX, em um solo epistemológico marcado por ideologias racistas e discriminatórias.

Bacterial Cellulose
This reference book provides updated information on the production and industrial significance of bacterial cellulose. Bacterial cellulose is a natural fiber produced by certain microbes, mainly bacteria which belong to the Acetobacter genera. The book discusses its applications in different industrial sectors, such as food, pharmaceutical, energy, and wastewater treatment. It covers the production of cellulose from conventional and renewable feedstock and includes topics such as downstream processing, characterization, and chemical modification of bacterial cellulose. FEATURES Addresses the challenges of the production technologies of bacterial cellulose up to pilot scale Discusses cost-effective green processes using agri-processing residues and medium formulation Includes efficient preparation of nanocomposites using in vitro and in vivo methods Provides the latest applications of bacterial cellulose in the food and pharmaceuticals fields Reviews the production of bacterial cellulose from conventional feedstock such as sugars and starches This book is designed for industry experts and researchers of applied microbiology, bioprocesses, and industrial microbiology.
Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000
In Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000: Exploring Unfinished, Unpublished, Unsuccessful Encyclopedic Projects, fourteen scholars turn to the archives to challenge the way the history of modern encyclopedism has long been told. Rather than emphasizing successful publications and famous compilers, they explore encyclopedic enterprises that somehow failed. With a combined attention to script, print, and digital cultures, the volume highlights the many challenges facing those who have pursued complete knowledge in the past three hundred years. By introducing the concepts of stranded and strandedness, it also provides an analytical framework for approaching aspects often overlooked in histories o...
The Confraternities of Misericórdia and the Portuguese Diasporas in the Early Modern Period
During the early modern period, the brotherhoods of Misericórdia were established not only in the overseas territories ruled by the Portuguese, but also beyond their empire, reaching as far as the Philippines and Japan. The twelve chapters of this book examine this expansion by discussing different dimensions of the Misericórdias, such as administration, politics, charitable practices, finances, and forms of discrimination related to social status, gender, and race. Filling a critical gap in anglophone scholarship on the Portuguese Misericórdias, this work's previous absence has been criticized by scholars who believe the Misericórdias are crucial to understanding the past and present of Portuguese communities, both at home and abroad. Contributors are: Inês Amorim, José Pedro Paiva, Lisbeth Rodrigues, Sara Pinto, Juan O. Mesquida, Rômulo Ehalt, Joana Balsa de Pinho, Andreia Durães, Maria Antónia Lopes, Luciana Gandelman, Isabel dos Guimarães Sá, and Renato Franco.
Bambini piccoli
Esta obra pelo apanhado que apresenta permite fazer incursões nas condições de vida das camadas populares na própria Itália, e igualmente no Brasil, e perceber a vulnerabilidade da infância diante das agudas privações familiares, da própria miséria, em ambos os países. O foco nesta obra são as crianças italianas e ítalo-brasileiras de tenra idade e questões – amamentação, creches, jardins de infância, doenças, medicamentos, trabalho, rituais mortuários etc. – que as afetaram na segunda metade do século XIX e nas décadas iniciais do século XX. As informações abundantes e detalhas tornam o livro exemplar de investigação.
