Geographic Citizen Science Design
Little did Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and other ‘gentlemen scientists’ know, when they were making their scientific discoveries, that some centuries later they would inspire a new field of scientific practice and innovation, called citizen science. The current growth and availability of citizen science projects and relevant applications to support citizen involvement is massive; every citizen has an opportunity to become a scientist and contribute to a scientific discipline, without having any professional qualifications. With geographic interfaces being the common approach to support collection, analysis and dissemination of data contributed by participants, ‘geographic citizen scie...

Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy/Zeitschrift für Kulturmanagement und Kulturpolitik
The Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy offers international perspectives on a wide range of issues in cultural management and cultural policy research and practice. Intangible cultural heritage refers to the practices, expressions, skills, knowledge, and cultural spaces that cultural communities use to represent, share, and pass down cultural identities. This issue explores the sustainability of intangible cultural heritage, increasingly at risk from contemporary, commercial, and political forces. With special focus on performing arts, the contributors cover issues pertaining to the intangible past including policies, management practices, juxtapositions of innovation and tradition, cultural integrity, cultural value, and relevant ethical questions.
O homem que salvou Nova York da falta de água e outros 11 mestres da sustentabilidade
Sabe aqueles filmes de super-heróis que salvam o mundo dos mais variados vilões e perigos? Este é um livro parecido. Apresentamos diversas pessoas que estão fazendo o possível e o impossível para nos livrar de problemas que estão acontecendo ou por acontecer. Com a diferença que eles não têm superpoderes. Apenas a vontade e a dedicação para fazer algo pela natureza e por você. Os exemplos citados precisam ser urgentemente copiados, multiplicados e gerar novas maneiras de pensar. Deixe-se inspirar pelos maiores mestres da sustentabilidade. E lembre-se de que só podemos viver aqui. Não existe “planeta B”.
Scale Matters
Scale matters. When conducting research and writing, scholars upscale and downscale. So do the subjects of their work - we scale, they scale. Although scaling is an integrant part of research, we rarely reflect on scaling as a practice and what happens when we engage with it in scholarly work. The contributors aim to change this: they explore the pitfalls and potentials of scaling in an interdisciplinary dialogue. The volume brings together scholars from diverse fields, working on different geographical areas and time periods, to engage with scale-conscious questions regarding human sociality, culture, and evolution. With contributions by Nurit Bird-David, Robert L. Kelly, Charlotte Damm, Andreas Maier, Brian Codding, Elspeth Ready, Bram Tucker, Graeme Warren and others.
Escolhas sustentáveis
Muito se tem falado sobre aquecimento global, desmatamento, consumo responsável, sustentabilidade, entre outros temas relacionados ao meio ambiente. Porém, ainda eles são tratados como algo fora do nosso cotidiano ou da nossa realidade econômica. Esta obra se propõe, de uma maneira simples, a desmistificar essas questões, colocando o leitor a par do que se tem feito em termos de preservação para que possamos refletir sobre nossas escolhas e a relação de nossas atitudes com o que acontece no mundo a nossa volta.

The Zeronauts
In the last century, Astronauts launched into the heavens, in search of new worlds to colonize, their adventures helping to catalyze the evolution of everything from non-stick frying pans and minicomputers to satellite telecommunications.
