The first comprehensive study of the dominant form of solo singing in Renaissance Italy prior to the mid-sixteenth century.
Um estudo sobre a maravilhosa arte da convivência interpessoal Antecipação das exigências naturais de uma vida em comum Abordagem específica da harmonização conjugal
A ideia deste livro surgiu a partir de um trecho do Sermão do Monte ("Bem-aventurados os que têm fome e sede de justiça porque serão saciados") e da música "Comida", do grupo de rock Titãs ("A gente não quer só comida. A gente quer comida, diversão, balé..."). Não temos somente fome de comida. Temos fome de tanta coisa, seja material, psicológica, espiritual... Como somos famintos! No intuito de saber do que temos fome e como saciá-la tendo como prato principal os ensinamentos de Jesus à luz da doutrina espírita, convidei pensadores espíritas e organizei este livro. Os colegas que escreveram esta obra comigo falam sobre as próprias fomes, que são também as fomes de todos nós. E falam principalmente do valioso nutriente para que todos nós, sem exceção, sejamos saciados em plenitude. Boa leitura e bom apetite! Marcelo Teixeira, organizador
"Deus é a inteligência suprema, causa primária de todas as coisas." O Livro dos Espíritos Na visão espírita, e da maioria das religiões, Deus é o Criador do Universo, portanto de tudo que há. E qual será a concepção da Ciência sobre este ponto? Quão grande é o Universo? É finito ou infinito? Há quanto tempo existe? Qual foi a sua origem e qual seu destino? Há outras formas de vida em outros planetas? São iguais ou diferentes a nós? Uma torrente de indagações assoma às mentes terrenas por milênios, com respostas as mais contraditórias. Otaciro Rangel Nascimento, cientista e espírita, conversa com o leitor sobre estas questões como quem está numa roda de amigos, tendo por roteiro a primeira parte de O Livro dos Espíritos. Leitura agradável e esclarecedora, acessível a todos.

This book discusses the Lagoa Santa Karst, which has been internationally known since the pioneering studies of the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the early 1800s. It covers the speleogenesis, geology, vegetation, fauna, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and anthropogenic use of the Lagoa Santa Karst and is the first English-language book on this major karst area. The area, which has been at the heart of the debate on the origin and age of human colonization in the Americas, is characterized by a classical and scenic karst landscape with limestone cliffs, karst lakes and karst plains, in addition to numerous solution dolines. More than 1,000 caves have been documented in the area, many with significant archeological and paleontological value. Despite its great importance, the Lagoa Santa Karst faces severe environmental threats due to limestone mining and the expansion of the metropolis of Belo Horizonte and its surrounding towns. The growing recognition of the areas remarkable significance has led to increasing concern, and a number of protected areas have now been established, improving the conservation status of this landmark karst area.
Excerpt from Locks and Builders Hardware: A Hand Book for Architects For the proper exposition of the subject of Builders' Hardware, especiallv in its practical relation to the work of the architect, it became necessarv to refer, specifically and in detail, to concrete examples of the product it embraces. To have omitted all such reference would have made the volume of little practical value to have selected diverse examples from the product of various manufacturers would have been confusing, illogical and contrary to actual practice if the product of one establishment was to be used for purposes of illustration it was expedient that the author should avail of the one with which he is most f...
This edited collection explores LGBTQ+ literature for young readers around the world, and connects this literature to greater societal, political, linguistic, historical, and cultural concerns. It brings together contributions from across the academic and activist spectra, looking at picture books, middle-grade books and young adult novels to explore what is at stake when we write (or do not write) about LGBTQ+ topics for young readers. The topics include the representation of sexualities and gender identities; depictions of queer families; censorship; links between culture, language and sexuality/gender; translation of LGBTQ+ literature for young readers; and self-publishing. It is the first collection to expand the study of LGBTQ+ literature for young readers beyond the English-speaking world and to draw cross-cultural comparisons.
