O livro Temas contemporâneos em psicologia do desenvolvimento surgiu da ideia de alguns professores do núcleo do Desenvolvimento Humano do curso de psicologia da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, que uniram esforços para apresentar uma coletânea de textos que acolhesse várias perspectivas psicológicas sobre o desenvolvimento humano. Preocupamo-nos em oferecer aos graduandos, bem como aos profissionais, de psicologia, pedagogia e áreas afins uma obra que pudesse expressar o respeito pelas diferenças epistemológicas e a admiração pela singularidade de cada enfoque sobre o tema. Esperamos que o leitor desfrute da leitura dos textos de docentes e psicólogos clínicos que buscaram, em seus capítulos, consolidar uma reflexão sobre a psicologia do desenvolvimento e seus desdobramentos.

In this book, leading international experts explore the emerging concept of the zero energy mass custom home (ZEMCH) – designed to meet the need for social, economic, and environmental sustainability – and provide all of the knowledge required for the delivery of zero energy mass customized housing and community developments in developed and developing countries. The coverage is wide ranging, progressing from explanation of the meaning of sustainable development to discussion of challenges and trends in mass housing, the advantages and disadvantages of prefabricated methods of construction, and the concepts of mass customization, mass personalization, and inclusive design. A chapter on e...
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...
