O despertar do guardião - a saga da legião branca – livro I
No pequeno planeta Gondorle, o capitão da Guarda Real, Héricles Adalberon, vê-se diante de um dilema: manter-se ao lado do rei e tentar proteger o reino, ou sacrificar sua carreira e manter a princesa a salvo? Salvar o reino parecia o mais óbvio, mas sua intuição lhe dizia o contrário. Teria que se aliar ao inimigo do reino nessa empreitada sem cabimento e torcer para que seus propósitos fossem compreendidos. A história se inicia com uma decisão difícil, que reúne, pela primeira vez, os personagens de uma trama muito maior. Enquanto aprendem a trabalhar juntos e a confiar uns nos outros, estreitam-se os laços entre eles. E quando uma força estranha desperta, em um incêndio monstruoso, eles descobrem que há muito mais em jogo do que apenas a busca pela salvação do reino. Uma narrativa envolvente e um enredo cheio de fantasia e mistérios. O despertar do guardião é apenas o início de uma aventura que desvendará os mistérios ao redor da lenda da grande Legião Branca.

Algarve Building
Foreword by Adrian Forty. The Algarve is not only Portugal’s foremost tourism region. Uniquely Mediterranean in an Atlantic country, its building customs have long been markers of historical and cultural specificity, attracting both picturesque driven conservatives and modernists seeking their lineage. Modernism, regionalism and the ‘vernacular’ – three essential tropes of twentieth-century architecture culture – converged in the region’s building identity construct and, often the subject of strictly metropolitan elaborations, they are examined here from a peripheral standpoint instead. Drawing on work that won the Royal Institute of British Architects President’s Award for Out...
Voice Machines
An exploration of the castrato as a critical provocation to explore the relationships between sound, music, voice instrument, and machine. Italian courts and churches began employing castrato singers in the late sixteenth century. By the eighteenth century, the singers occupied a celebrity status on the operatic stage. Constructed through surgical alteration and further modified by rigorous training, castrati inhabited human bodies that had been “mechanized” to produce sounds in ways that unmechanized bodies could not. The voices of these technologically enhanced singers, with their unique timbre, range, and strength, contributed to a dramatic expansion of musical vocabulary and prompted...
Innovative Wastewater Treatment & Resource Recovery Technologies: Impacts on Energy, Economy and Environment
This book introduces the 3R concept applied to wastewater treatment and resource recovery under a double perspective. Firstly, it deals with innovative technologies leading to: Reducing energy requirements, space and impacts; Reusing water and sludge of sufficient quality; and Recovering resources such as energy, nutrients, metals and chemicals, including biopolymers. Besides targeting effective C,N&P removal, other issues such as organic micropollutants, gases and odours emissions are considered. Most of the technologies analysed have been tested at pilot- or at full-scale. Tools and methods for their Economic, Environmental, Legal and Social impact assessment are described. The 3R concept is also applied to Innovative Processes design, considering different levels of innovation: Retrofitting, where novel units are included in more conventional processes; Re-Thinking, which implies a substantial flowsheet modification; and Re-Imagining, with completely new conceptions. Tools are presented for Modelling, Optimising and Selecting the most suitable plant layout for each particular scenario from a holistic technical, economic and environmental point of view.
