Entre o real e o sobrenatural: múltiplas faces da narrativa fantástica
Os estudos literários, principalmente àqueles voltados à narrativa fantástica, começam a ganhar novos contornos a partir da publicação da obra Introdução à literatura fantástica (1975) do estudioso Todorov. Somente após essa publicação é que se tem problematizado, através de distintas vertentes literárias, a classificação do fantástico enquanto gênero. É de grande interesse perceber a partir disso o quanto o campo científico e teórico-analítico se tornou movediço. Isto é, hoje, em solo brasileiro, temos inúmeros autores e obras que entrelaçam essas questões (fantástico, estranho, maravilhoso, realismo mágico e etc) passando por diversas faces do fantástico, e...
Ecology and Behaviour of the Ladybird Beetles (Coccinellidae)
Ladybirds are probably the best known predators of aphids and coccids in the world, though this greatly underestimates the diversity of their biology. Maximising their impact on their prey is an important element in modern conservation biological control of indigenous natural enemies in contrast to the classical approach of releasing alien species. Ivo Hodek is one of the most internationally respected experts on coccinellids who has researched these insects for his entire career. He has now brought together 14 scientists of international standing to author 12 chapters, making this book the definitive treatment of coccinellid biology and ecology. This volume covers the rapid scientific devel...
Memórias de São João da Ponta a partir de narrativas orais
Os moradores de São João da Ponta, Estado do Pará, ao se darem conta da urgente necessidade da preservação e valorização de sua história e de sua cultura, viva somente nas memórias de seus moradores mais antigos, chegaram à conclusão de que sua cultura e memória estavam seriamente ameaçadas de desaparecer.

A Trip to the Dominions
On the eve of the Great War, in 1914 the Australian Federal Government sponsored the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) to?travel to Australia for their annual conference. Over 150 scientists were fully funded by the Australian Commonwealth government and they travelled on three ships especially commanded for this purpose. Across five major cities, public talks, demonstrations and excursions familiarised the visiting scientists with Australian natural and hard sciences, geology, botany as well as anthropology. In terms of anthropology, ?the congress presented a unique opportunity to showcase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. The Association, deeply impressed by this, urged the Federal Government to support a chair in anthropology to be based at an Australian university. Other outcomes included the Association's recommendations to establish a Commonwealth Scientific Institute (later CSIRO) and to develop a national telescope at Mt Stromlo. Although these were delayed by the outbreak of WWI, it is clear that this Trip to the Dominions was no mere singular event, but rather left a legacy we are still beneficiaries of today.
