The Geography of South America
South America is an area of fascination and study for geographers and other scholars from around the world, and its land and people have played important roles in the discovery and distribution of civilizations, resources, and nations for millennia. The region has long stimulated a large amount of research across the many subdisciplines of geography, and Thomas A. Rumney collects, organizes, and presents as many scholarly publications as possible in The Geography of South America: A Scholarly Guide and Bibliography. Every South American nation is included: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Surinam, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Beginning w...
Produção do Espaço, Segregação Socioespacial e Mobilidade na Metrópole
A mobilidade inerente ao urbano não ocorre em igualdade de condições para todos os habitantes de uma cidade. Tal fato está relacionado ao processo de produção/apropriação do espaço urbano contemporâneo, que é reflexo e condicionante social e enseja, por consequência, desigualdades socioespaciais diversas. Pode-se mencionar, como exemplo, a segregação espacial induzida da população de baixo poder aquisitivo em áreas periféricas das cidades como produto desse processo de (re)produção e apropriação do e no espaço urbano. De modo geral, as periferias das grandes cidades brasileiras, entre estas as cearenses, caracterizam-se pelo provimento inadequado às pessoas que as hab...

Fishes
This is the first large-scale work that allows the identification of more than 1,000 species of coastal marine fish along the Brazilian coast, from the Guianas to Argentina. With the publication of "Fishes of the Brazilian Coast", Alfredo Carvalho-Filho fills a fundamental gap in the knowledge of fish worldwide. The author has participated in the Workshops for the Assessment of the State of Conservation of Marine Actinopterygii Species at the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation and gives lectures on Communications, Ichthyology and, among these, the one entitled "Biology and Marketing", with two disciplines so diverse gathered in a single presentation!
Roots of Creole Structures
This book reflects an ongoing shift in the study of contact languages: After a period of history-free universalism, it directs the attention to the individual historical circumstances under which the pidgin and creole languages arose. The contributions deal with different areas of language structure including phonology, morphology, and syntax, providing a wealth of structural and sociohistorical data that any comprehensive theory of contact languages will have to account for. Each of the papers provides a thorough description of a structural phenomenon against the background of the sociohistorical contact situation. The languages covered in the book are: Guiné-Bissau Creole, Haitian Creole, Hawai'i Creole, Indo-Portuguese creoles, Jamaican Creole, Lingua Franca, North American French, Mauritian Creole, Santomense, Saramaccan, Seychelles Creole, Sranan, Surinamese Maroon creoles, Vincentian Creole, and Zamboangueño Chavacano.
Experimental Man
Bestselling author David Ewing Duncan takes the ultimate high-tech medical exam, investigating the future impact of what's hidden deep inside all of us David Ewing Duncan takes "guinea pig" journalism to the cutting edge of science, building on award-winning articles he wrote for Wired and National Geographic, in which he was tested for hundreds of chemicals and genes associated with disease, emotions, and other traits. Expanding on these tests, he examines his genes, environment, brain, and body, exploring what they reveal about his and his family's future health, traits, and ancestry, as well as the profound impact of this new self-knowledge on what it means to be human.

The Role of Institutions
We live in a world of inequalities. Every day, people are born to intensely degrading realities that curb their opportunities of success and perpetrate a vicious cycle of poverty. "The Role of Institutions: Devising Mechanisms for an Inclusive World" explores how the institutional framework contributes to the maintenance or reduction of such inequalities, analyzing the impacts – both positive and negative – of existing institutions in specific scenarios. Each of the eight articles approaches a pressing theme of the international agenda – including rule of law; fiscal responsibility; health conditions in refugees' camps; disaster risk management; labor standards; gender-based structural violence; nuclear weapons control; and state failure –, analyzing the role institutions play on the definition of the fate of countries and their citizens.
