Oclusão: fisiologia e pensamento clínico é uma obra pensada para cirurgiões-dentistas e acadêmicos de Odontologia. A oclusão é, ao mesmo tempo, considerada uma área de extrema importância para a prática clínica, e portadora de conteúdos de difícil apreensão por parte da classe odontológica. Na verdade, precisamos tratar dela como conteúdo acessível, mas de complexidade, que somente o pensamento interdisciplinar nos faz entender seus processos diante do aparelho estomatognático de nossos pacientes. Os autores envolvidos abordam de maneira direta e articulada com a visualização clínica conhecimentos que vinculam a Oclusão à fisiologia e, de modo extremamente claro e visu...

This book offers the first comprehensive overview of the Catholic Enlightenment in Europe. It surveys the diversity of views about the structure and nature of the movement, pointing toward the possibilities for further research. The volume presents a series of comprehensive treatments on the process and interpretation of Catholic Enlightenment in France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Holy Roman Empire, Malta, Italy and the Habsburg territories. An introductory overview explores the varied meanings of Catholic Enlightenment and situates them in a series of intellectual and social contexts.

Contributors include: Jeffrey D. Burson, Richard Butterwick, Frans Ciappara, Harm Klueting, Ulrich L. Lehner, Michael Printy, Mario Rosa, Evergton Sales Souza, and Andrea J. Smidt.

The analysts used a b...
"Considero os meses mais felizes da minha vida aqueles em que eu e minha mulher fomos viver para uma aldeia remota. Ainda hoje me penetra a solidão perfumada dos montes. A casa não tinha vidros e à noite o silêncio doirado de estrelas entrava pelas janelas e desabava sobre nós... Há horas em que as coisas nos contemplam, e estão por um fio a comunicar connosco. Às vezes é um nada, um momento de êxtase em que distintamente ouvimos os passos da vida caminhando. O homem, sozinho, está mais perto de Deus e das coisas eternas. Sabe-lhe melhor a vida, compreende melhor a morte. Um pormenor que o interesse entranha-se-lhe na alma para sempre, como um perfume que nunca mais se esvai... Ainda este ano o Maio foi tão quente que toda a noite se lavrou ao luar..."

Contemporary Spain and Portugal share a historical experience as Iberian states which emerged within the context of al-Andalus. These centuries of Muslim presence in the Middle Ages became a contested heritage during the process of modern nation-building with its varied concepts and constructs of national identities. Politicians, historians and intellectuals debated vigorously the question how the Muslim past could be reconciled with the idea of the Catholic nation. The Crescent Remembered investigates the processes of exclusion and integration of the Islamic past within the national narratives. It analyses discourses of historiography, Arabic studies, mythology, popular culture and colonial policies towards Muslim populations from the 19th century to the dictatorships of Franco and Salazar in the 20th century. In particular, it explores why, despite apparent historical similarities, in Spain and Portugal entirely different strategies and discourses concerning the Islamic past emerged. In the process, it seeks to shed light on the role of the Iberian Peninsula as a crucial European historical "contact zone" with Islam.
