Este livro apresenta a história do surgimento de Goiânia, desde como foi definido o local até o seu crescimento com construções de prédios, ou seja, edificações no entorno e proximidades dos parques urbanos. Ainda mostra os primeiros setores desenvolvidos devido à valorização imobiliária, mas também o aumento de especulação. Dessa forma, esta obra abre espaço para reflexão sobre a pressão antrópica durante o desenvolvimento de Goiânia, servindo como auxilio para reduzir os impactos no desenvolvimento futuro do local, mas também de exemplo para outras cidades. A contribuição que o livro traz são capítulos relacionados ao meio ambiente e expansão urbana, iniciando pel...
O desenvolvimento regional é desafio que empolga pesquisadores e líderes mundo afora. Como fomentar políticas públicas nos campos econômico, social, educacional, sanitário e ambiental que proporcionem melhora sustentável das condições de vida das pessoas? Como conjugar as iniciativas nos campos retromencionados de maneira que a preocupação ambiental, por exemplo, não esmaeça a econômica e vice-versa? Como garantir crescimento econômico sem desprezar a necessidade de que isso gere também melhoras diretas nas vidas de um maior número de pessoas? Como levar em consideração os potenciais locais de desenvolvimento, integrando esforços da iniciativa privada, do poder público e da academia, de maneira a personalizar as soluções planejadas, adaptando-as às diversas realidades locais e regionais? Se essas perguntas nos interessam quando voltadas a qualquer região do mundo, imagine quando as particularizamos para o contexto brasileiro ou goiano? Como desenvolver, por exemplo, o norte de Goiás a partir de suas próprias potencialidades?
Florence Nightingale remains an inspiration to nurses around the world for her pioneering work treating wounded British soldiers during the Crimean War; authorship of Notes on Nursing, the foundational text for nursing practice; establishment of the world's first nursing school; and advocacy for the hygienic treatment of patients and sanitary design of hospitals. In Notes on Nightingale, nursing historians and scholars offer their valuable reflections on Nightingale and analysis of her role in the profession a century after her death on 13 August 1910 and 150 years since the Nightingale School of Nursing (now the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at King's College, London)...
Food additives are the cause of a great deal of discussion and suspicion. Now in its third edition, Essential Guide to Food Additives aims to inform this debate and bring the literature right up to date especially focussing on the changes in legislation since the last edition. Key topics include: * A basic introduction to the technology of food additives * Technical information on all food additives currently permitted in the European Union * Discussion covering the general issues surrounding the use of food additives, including the need for them * Coverage of the legal approval process for additives and the labelling of the finished product * Identification of sources or methods of production for each additive * Properties of individual additives and typical products they are used in This book will be an invaluable reference for researchers in the food and drink industry, undergraduates and graduates of courses in food science and technology and indeed all those who are interested in what they eat
The oak tree was a boon companion as humans expanded their presence across much of the globe. While oak woodlands (Quercus spp.) come today in stunningly diverse forms, the stately dehesas of Spain and the dramatic oak-dominated ranchlands of California are working landscapes where cultivation and manipulation for a couple of millennia have shaped Mediterranean-type ecosystems into a profoundly modified yet productive environment that is sought-after by every manner of species. The grazing of wildlife and livestock in oak woodlands yields a remarkable plant and animal biodiversity, creating a mosaic of habitats and visually pleasing savannas. Added products unique to Spain such as Iberian pigs and cork, and in California multiple landowner benefits, include valued ecosystem services that allow owners, visitors, and conservation supporters to experience the benefits of woodland life. With its 15 chapters a decade in the making, this handsomely illustrated book covers key topics in oak woodland policy, ecology, and management in Spain and California, presenting new research results and reviewing an existing expert literature.
Despite the availability of an effective vaccine for hepatitis B, hundreds of millions of people worldwide are infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This virus can cause serious liver damage and cancer in chronically infected patients. Hepatitis delta virus (HDV), a satellite of HBV, can exacerbate the disease. Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine examines all aspects of HBV and HDV infections and their management. Contributors discuss the HBV and HDV life cycles, their unique characteristics (e.g., the formation of HBV cccDNA), the immune responses they elicit, and the challenges they present to the development of ...
This volume investigates how the physical characteristics and productivity of forest communities are related to the climates and soils in which they are found. It will provide fascinating reading for graduate-level students and research scientists working in ecohydrology, hydroclimatology, forest ecology, and surface water hydrology.
Translation and Conflict was the first book to demonstrate that translators and interpreters participate in circulating as well as resisting the narratives that create the intellectual and moral environment for violent conflict and social tensions. Drawing on narrative theory and with numerous examples from historical and current contexts of conflict, Mona Baker provides an original and coherent model of analysis that pays equal attention to the circulation of narratives in translation and to questions of dominance and resistance. With a new preface by Sue-Ann Harding, Translation and Conflict is more than ever the essential text for any student or researcher interested in the study of translation and social movements.
