Natural products present in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures, which are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. With the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it has become possible to isolate and then determine the structures and biological activity of natural products rapidly, thus opening up to the pharmaceutical industry exciting opportunities in the field of new drug development. The series covers all of the above as well as the synthesis, testing and recording of the medicinal properties of natural products. - Describes the chemistry of bioactive natural products - Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field - A valuable source for researchers in natural product and medicinal chemistry
O E-book “Educação e Diversidade Cultural – Desafios Amazônicos” expressa o desejo de situar as discussões sobre Educação e Cultura para fora dos clichês mais convencionais. Essa tendência mais contemporânea pretende colocar temas da cultura amazônica diante de uma nova relação de tensões interculturais, em confronto com outros modos de subjetividade, novos sujeitos sociais e com outras possíveis racionalidades, em face de um movimento cada vez mais emergente de descolonização e desmoronamento de fronteiras que impedem a visibilidade do Outro. Os processos educacionais se inserem nesse cenário de mudanças e alcançam nos textos aqui trabalhados o esforço de pesquisadores maduros em suas experiências de campo e suas abordagens metodológicas e teóricas
Good-by, Samizdat offers the first collection of some of the best of underground texts. Divided into three sections, it includes fiction, cultural and political writing, and philosophical essays. The writings reflect the creative thought of some of the best minds of modern times, from the well-known - Ivan Klima, Ludvik Vaculik, Vaclav Havel - to writers who are as yet unknown in the West.

The teaching profession has a long history in motion pictures. As early as the late 19th century, films have portrayed educators of young children--including teachers, tutors, day care workers, nannies, governesses, and other related occupations--in a variety of roles within the cinematic classroom. This work provides a broad index of more than 800 films (both U.S. and foreign) which feature educators as primary characters. Organized alphabetically by title, each entry contains a short plot summary and many also include cast and crew details. A detailed subject index is also included.
Nevěra, mladé dívky a movití pánové, to vše spojuje tři detektivní příběhy odehrávající se v Brně. Mrazivý dech Johany začíná bizarní smrtí protřelého právníka. A co s ní mají společného pověst o Ledové Johaně, oblíbený míchaný nápoj a krásná Marcela, návrhářka luxusního prádla, musí vypátrat nadporučík Adam Vonka. Falešná kočička dá odpověď na to, proč byla zavražděna účetní mezi policisty oblíbené restaurace a proč i policisté mohou mít máslo na hlavě a tajit své hříchy. Ve Zlatém mámení policisté řeší smrt majitele realit, zavražděného den před vlastní svatbou.
How well have classic ideas on whole-word phonology stood the test of time? Waterson claimed that each child has a system of their own; Ferguson and Farwell emphasised the relative accuracy of first words; Menn noted the occurrence of regression and the emergence of phonological systematicity. This volume brings together classic texts such as these with current data-rich studies of British and American English, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, French, Japanese, Polish and Spanish. This combination of classic and contemporary work from the last 30 years presents the reader with cutting-edge perspectives on child language by linking historical approaches with current ideas such as exemplar theory and usage-based phonology and contrasting state-of-the-art perspectives from developmental psychology and linguistics. This is a valuable resource for cognitive scientists, developmentalists, linguists, psychologists, speech scientists and therapists interested in understanding how children begin to use language without the benefit of language-specific innate knowledge.
Bohemia and Moravia, today part of the Czech Republic, was the first territory with a majority of non-German speakers occupied by Hitler’s Third Reich on the eve of the World War II. Tens of thousands of Jewish inhabitants in the so called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia soon felt the tragic consequences of Nazi racial politics. Not all Czechs, however, remained passive bystanders during the genocide. After the destruction of Czechoslovakia in 1938-39, Slovakia became a formally independent but fully subordinate satellite of Germany. Despite the fact it was not occupied until 1944, Slovakia paid Germany to deport its own Jewish citizens to extermination camps. About 270,000 out of the 360,000 Czech and Slovak casualties of World War II were victims of the Holocaust. Despite these statistics, the Holocaust vanished almost entirely from post-war Czechoslovak, and later Czech and Slovak, historical cultures. The communist dictatorship carried the main responsibility for this disappearance, yet the situation has not changed much since the fall of the communist regime. The main questions of this study are how and why the Holocaust was excluded from the Czech and Slovak history.
