The concept of governance has evolved into one of the most important but also controversial concepts in urban politics. While it encourages co-operation, participation and collective construction, at the same time, it has brought about new forms of public demission, oligarchic regimes and less local democracy. The dilemmas accompanying these changes are particularly relevant when observing the cities of Southern Europe, whose socio-cultural specificities very much structure local political and policy materialisations. Bringing together a team of leading scholars from across the social sciences, this volume examines the issues of urban governance in the Southern European context. Illustrated ...
The XVIII Lisbon Autumn School brought together physicists from different areas, ranging from QCD to condensed matter. This subject will be of ever-growing importance in the coming years. The topics covered are: Anomalies, Physical Charges, Chiral Symmetry, Vortices (Superconductivity, Solitons, Kosterlitz-Thouless Transitions), Non-trivial Topology on the Lattice, Confinement (Wilson Loops and Strings, Instantons, Abelian Higgs Model, Dual QCD).
In the spirit of Dava Sobel's Longitude comes the story of Vasco da Gama, whose search for a sea route to the East took him and his crew on an odyssey of 27,000 miles and propelled Portugal to the forefront of international commerce and power. A companion to the PBS series of the same name. Photos & maps.
Integrada no Ano Seixas, à raíz do tri-centenário do nascimento do compositor conimbricense (1704-2004), justamente celebrado na cidade de Coimbra graças a uma ação conjunta da Universidade e da Câmara Municipal, a Exposição «Carlos Seixas, de Coimbra» é uma ação (in)formadora da figura e da obra do grande compositor com base na documentação própria da Universidade. Mostram-se pela primeira vez documentos que fundamentam historicamente a biografia de Carlos Seixas, alguns dos quais em primeira mão. Para além das imagens do ambiente e das personalidades do seu tempo, apresentam-se algumas composições musicais que fizeram parte do seu estudo e da sua experiência estética...

This volume discusses the most recent results on multiparticle production. These include the differences between quark and gluon jets from LEP at CERN, the search for the disoriented chiral condensate at Fermilab, the existence (or not) of the quark-gluon plasma and the large rapidity gaps in Hera physics. In many different experimental situations, the subject of multiparticle dynamics remains alive.Main speakers: J Antos, B J May, J D Bjorken, P Sondereger, I Tserruya, R C Hwa, R Ugoccioni, A Giovannini, C Grupen, A de Angelis, G Thompson, J Kwiecinski, B Andersson.
As the first book of its kind, Nancy Lee Harper’s Portuguese Piano Music: An Introduction and Annotated Bibliography fills the gap in the historical record of Portuguese piano music from its start in the 18th century to the present. While although Spanish piano music is well documented owing to the reputation of such composers as Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, and Manuel de Falla, our knowledge of compositions in the tradition of Portuguese piano music has not fared as well, barring the work of Carlos Seixas (1704–1742). This obscurity, however, reflects poorly on the history of early piano music in light of the many compositions written for fortepiano on behalf of the Portuguese cour...
