Relações étnico-raciais e marcadores sociais
Dando continuidade às reflexões empreendidas em um volume anterior, Relações étnico-raciais e marcadores sociais: desigualdades em foco reúne um novo conjunto de pesquisas que, a partir de diferentes campos de saber e horizontes teórico-metodológicos distintos, discutem o modo pelo qual certas diferenças são transcritas, socialmente, em desigualdades e violência simbólica. Apostando no diálogo interdisciplinar, os trabalhos aqui reunidos dão sequência às reflexões sobre discursos e práticas sociais que articulam os marcadores sociais da diferença nas mais diversas arenas. Sumário Prefácio Ana Morell Apresentação Diana Ramos de Oliveira, Debora Breder e Klever Paulo Lea...
Língua(gem) e justiça social: saberes, práticas e paradigmas v.1
Este primeiro volume da coletânea Lingua(gem) e justiça social é uma manifestação do axé temperado, cozido e enrolado em nove folhas de mamona da Editora Diálogos. Um axé que aqui é oferecido em nove alguidares, ainda fumegantes e em ebulição; um axé que é oferecido em nove textos. O axé é a força vital que todos os seres possuem. O axé é a força que nos conecta ao mundo e nele nos mantém presentes. Os nove textos que compõem esta coletânea formam um axé discursivo, político e pedagógico, nos convidando a uma agenda dialógica e interventiva no que tange o uso da língua como transe permanente para ver, ser e estar no mundo. Por isso, todos os textos apresentados, após macerarem as violências impostas pela vida na modernidade, firmam o adoxu e urgem nove cortes para a sacralização da língua e seu uso como ensinamento de esteira e de entrincheiramento, ou seja, o seu uso como justiça social.
Orthogeriatrics
This new open access edition supported by the Fragility Fracture Network aims at giving the widest possible dissemination on fragility fracture (especially hip fracture) management and notably in countries where this expertise is sorely needed. It has been extensively revised and updated by the experts of this network to provide a unique and reliable content in one single volume. Throughout the book, attention is given to the difficult question of how to provide best practice in countries where the discipline of geriatric medicine is not well established and resources for secondary prevention are scarce. The revised and updated chapters on the epidemiology of hip fractures, osteoporosis, sar...
The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...
Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease
Although cardiovascular disease remains the leading proximate cause of death in the United States, it is now estimated that obesity may be equivalent to smoking as the leading cause of preventable death in America. In light of these statistics, this reference presents our current understanding of the epidemiology, pathology, and genetics of the obe
World Report on Child Injury Prevention
Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.

Intestinal Lipid Metabolism
This book was stimulated by the enthusiasm shown by attendees at the meetings in Saxon River, VT, sponsored by the Federation ofAmerican Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), on the subject of the intestinal processing of lipids. When these meetings were first started in 1990, the original organizers, two of whom are editors ofthis volume (CMM and PT), had two major goals. The first was to bring together a diverse group ofinvestiga tors who had the common goal of gaining a better understanding of how the intestine ab sorbs lipids. The second was to stimulate the interest of younger individuals whom we wished to recruit into what we believed was an exciting and fruitful area ofresearch....
Posthumanism and the Graphic Novel in Latin America
Latin America is experiencing a boom in graphic novels that are highly innovative in their conceptual play and their reworking of the medium. Inventive artwork and sophisticated scripts have combined to satisfy the demand of a growing readership, both at home and abroad. Posthumanism and the Graphic Novel in Latin America, which is the first book-length study of the topic, argues that the graphic novel is emerging in Latin America as a uniquely powerful force to explore the nature of twenty-first century subjectivity. The authors place particular emphasis on the ways in which humans are bound to their non-human environment, and these ideas are productively drawn out in relation to posthuman ...
