Zooarchaeology in the Neotropics
This volume offers an up-to-date and broad perspective of the archaeology of human-animal interactions through time in the Neotropical Biogeographic Region, ranging from southern North America to southern South America. The region has a rich and singular biotic history. The collection of works included in the volume –originally presented at the Second Academic Meeting of the NZWG-ICAZ – describes some of the instances of the diverse interactions of human and faunal populations in such a setting and the particular properties characterizing the derived archaeofaunal record. Understanding the zooarchaeological imprint of human insertion and evolution in this context represents an opportunit...
GENÉTICA MARINHA
O objetivo principal deste livro é dar a todos (tanto aqueles que trabalham quanto aqueles que simplesmente se interessam) uma introdução ilustrada da Genética Marinha e uma descrição de como ela é aplicada nas mais diversas áreas das ciências do mar. São apresentadas as bases históricas, empíricas, conceituais e científicas da disciplina, de forma leve o suficiente para um estudante interessado (ou um leigo curioso) e de forma precisa o suficiente para um colega da área (ou um profissional informado). No geral, espera-se que o leitor encontre no livro a fundamentação teórica e empírica da genética de populações e dos marcadores moleculares, bem como uma discussão sobre os modelos aplicados pela Genética Marinha ao ambiente marinho e sua biodiversidade. O texto tenta, também, escapar da armadilha das verdades prontas, optando por uma dialética de teses, antíteses e sínteses, numa história das ideias.
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...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
