Analisando os pontos de contato entre a música de Villa-Lobos e o cinema de Glauber Rocha, o autor demonstra que nos entraves e dilemas colocados pelos filmes militantes do cineasta ressoam os problemas levantados pelos modernistas de 1922, tanto quanto na obra do grande maestro. Discutindo os idiomas musicais modal e tonal, formas típicas de sociedades distintas, mostra que na história brasileira, bastante chegada ao acomodamento dos contrários, tais idiomas convivem na forma de grande música, mascarando os conflitos de suas origens.
This book covers current aspects of important infectious diseases affecting human and animal health in Latin American countries. Readers are equipped with details on arthropod vectors as well as on neglected health problems. Diseases covered include Neglected Tropical Diseases such as Chagas Disease, schistosomiasis, tungiasis, myiasis and leishmaniasis, but also Zika and Chikungunya viral infections, plague and yellow fever. One focus is given on parasitic transmission routes. In addition, the authors describe current therapeutic options and sustainable control measures, considering both human and animal health. By highlighting options within the interdisciplinary One Health approach, they round off this work into a cutting-edge reference for diverse expert readers. Scientists and clinicians concerned on public health, entomology, tropical medicine and parasitology not only in Latin America will find this collection particularly valuable. Finally, these contributions are essential in the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals and the targets of SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) in order to combat and end epidemics of Neglected Tropical Diseases.
This book is a truly interdisciplinary publication, useful to scholars, social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies and private companies, undertaking research and/or executing projects focusing on social responsibility and sustainability from across the world.Sustainable development has become a matter of central concern to both public institutions and enterprises.

De acordo com o autor, esta obra tem a pretensão de fazer uma viagem pelo tema da infância na obra de Clarice Lispector. Destaca que entre a vasta bibliografia da escritora foram encontrados pelo menos cinco livros destinados ao público infantil: O mistério do coelho pensante; A mulher que matou os peixes; A vida íntima de Laura; Quase de verdade; além de uma coleção de doze lendas brasileiras Como nasceram as estrelas. Desta forma, este livro levanta questionamentos pertinentes à existência de textos destinados ao público infantil, dentro da obra de uma autora que teve maior relevância na literatura destinada a adultos, além de discutir o possível descaso da crítica, realçando se este aspecto teria conotação valorativa.
É uma reunião de contos, crônicas e versos urbanos, que busca descrever as relações sociais nas suas complexas formas pitorescas de existir, formatando-se nas maneiras mais obscuras e travessas, as quais os seres que habitam este admirável e mortífero eco sistema, chegando ao ponto de ser psicodélica mente lírico. Estes submundos underground’s, de hábitos e tendências peculiares, onde criam e promovem realidades paralelas para sobreviverem e manterem suas culturas e estilos de vidas, nas madrugadas das metrópoles, a qualquer custo, sobre qualquer pretexto. A moralidade. a ética, os princípios e outros códigos sociais ganham outras conotações... Nem sempre baseadas nos padr...

O compositor italiano Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988) tornou-se um caso particular dentro da música contemporânea. Até a metade do século, utilizou vários sistemas composicionais, sendo que, ao final dos anos 1940, já havia composto dezenas de obras baseadas no atonalismo livre, no dodecafonismo e nos procedimentos estilísticos de Scriabin e do futurismo. No livro, o objetivo principal é deixar que o próprio compositor conte sua trajetória e sua interessante visão sobre arte, música, misticismo e todas as nuances presentes no âmbito desse agradável e misterioso universo.
