Passado Perpétuo
Quem podia imaginar que em pleno século XXI, era da modernidade e da vida a crédito, ainda sobreviveria, em Juazeiro do Norte, um grupo de penitentes que insiste em segurar o passado com as mesmas mãos que seguram os rosários? Essa questão é o fio condutor do trabalho de Roberto Viana, jovem historiador que já demonstra um olhar aguçado sobre o cotidiano e sobre as artes de fazer dos sujeitos que o inventam. Atraído pela alegórica figura de um penitente vestido de azul que bradava em inflexão de pregação durante as romarias de Juazeiro do Norte, Roberto inquietou-se com o tom dos sermões proferidos pelo penitente João José Aves de Jesus. Ali estavam presentes diversos element...
Metamorfose do Risco
Entramos em uma nova etapa da modernidade, cada vez mais ocupada em debater, prevenir e gerenciar os riscos socialmente produzidos e que são resultado direto do progresso tecnológico. Esses novos riscos de alta consequência são diferentes de tudo que já enfrentamos no passado, tanto em escala quanto em complexidade. E, por serem diferentes de tudo que conhecemos e por estarem inerentemente conectados a muitos dos aspectos essenciais da modernidade, tais riscos infectam nossa sociedade com um sentimento fundamental de vulnerabilidade. As sociedades modernas são moldadas por novos riscos e incertezas fabricadas. Suas fundações são abaladas pela antecipação da catástrofe global. Os ...

RISC Architectures
This book covers the principles and techniques that make RISC a unique and elegant approach for high-performance microprocessor system designs, describing both the practical and theoretical aspects of the RISC design philosophy.
The MIPS-X RISC Microprocessor
The first Stanford MIPS project started as a special graduate course in 1981. That project produced working silicon in 1983 and a prototype for running small programs in early 1984. After that, we declared it a success and decided to move on to the next project-MIPS-X. This book is the final and complete word on MIPS-X. The initial design of MIPS-X was formulated in 1984 beginning in the Spring. At that time, we were unsure that RISe technology was going to have the industrial impact that we felt it should. We also knew of a number of architectural and implementation flaws in the Stanford MIPS machine. We believed that a new processor could achieve a performance level of over 10 times a VAX 11/780, and that a microprocessor of this performance level would convince academic skeptics of the value of the RISe approach. We were concerned that the flaws in the original RISe design might overshadow the core ideas, or that attempts to industrialize the technology would repeat the mistakes of the first generation designs. MIPS-X was targeted to eliminate the flaws in the first generation de signs and to boost the performance level by over a factor of five.
Italy Revisited
Drawing out her mother's childhood memories of life in southern Italy at the dawn of the twentieth century, Mary Melfi takes an unconventional approach to autobiographical writing. Italy Revisited serves as a double memoir, told in dialogue between a mother and a daughter. The conversation takes the reader to a medieval town high up in the mountains where time is told by the shadow the sun casts, where wheat and olive oil are the currency of choice (barter is in use), and where marriage is as much about property as it is about love. As they re-create that vanished world, the pair finds greater understanding of the tumultuous relationships that sometimes exist between immigrant mothers and their children.
Introduction to the Study of Law
In this important work, Dr. Felipe Fierro offers a comprehensive view on the subject of Introduction to the Study of Law, in which he revives the use of Gnoseology, Philosophy, History and Logic as Auxiliary Sciences; and exposes how the abandonment of such has contributed to the exponential growth of Skepticism and Relativism, currently prevailing in the legal world. The above, through extensive experience in teaching Law from the Aristotelian-Thomistic platform, based on the elementary assumption that we must first prove the existence of the object of study, and contrast main legal branches in topics such as: what is Law?, why is Science?, what are Law, Justice, Facultative rights and the ...
