Estranhas ficções de tempo, morte e utopia
A literatura é sempre um exercício de perplexidade, isto é, um olhar enviesado sobre o mundo e sobre os seres humanos. É um olhar que não aceita plenamente o que vê, porque o visto é sempre enganoso. Talvez escrevamos contos, poemas, romances, porque não queremos aceitar a vida "como ela é" e, sim, como gostaríamos que fosse; o escrito é, ao mesmo tempo, um exercício de desolação e de conquista. Desolamo-nos com o mundo e o conquistamos pela palavra, mas nunca abandonamos nossa essencial perplexidade; é ela que nos torna vivos. Neste livro tudo isso fica muito claro. Cada autor, cada autora, tem um olhar específico sobre a aventura existencial, que transcende a própria e...
Transdisciplinary Engineering: Crossing Boundaries
The Concurrent Engineering (CE) approach was developed in the 1980s, based on the concept that different phases of a product life cycle should be conducted concurrently and initiated as early as possible within the Product Creation Process (PCP). CE concepts have matured and become the foundation of many new ideas, methodologies, initiatives, approaches and tools. This book contains the proceedings from the 23rd ISPE Inc. International Conference on Transdisciplinary (formerly: Concurrent) Engineering, held in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, in October 2016. The conference, entitled 'Transdisciplinary Engineering: Crossing Boundaries', provides an important forum for international scientific excha...
The Bacterial Phosphotransferase System
Following it's discovery in E.coli by Kundig, Ghosh and Rosema thirty seven years ago, a wealth of information has accumulated on the bacterial Phosphotransferase system (PTS). Since then the PTS has been found in a wide variety of different bacteria where it has been recognised to play a pivotal role in numerious aspects of bacterial cellular physiology. While the primary functions of this system involve sugar reception, transport and phosphorylation, the secondary functions include the regulation, both directly and indirectly, of important metabolic pathways. In this book, Internationally recognised authors review the current research on the PTS, discuss the multifaceted structural and functional aspects of the system and attempt to provide a realistic forecast of future discoveries. Study of this important system will contribute to our understanding of prokaryotic physiology and pathogenesis, will allow major advances in biotechnology, and will result in the development of agents capable of effectively combating harmful microorganisms.
Regulatory Networks in Prokaryotes
The authors explore regulatory networks in a wide range of prokaryotes including organisms that have only recently been investigated at the molecular level.
The World of Organic Agriculture
The new edition of this annual publication (previously published solely by IFOAM and FiBL) documents recent developments in global organic agriculture. It includes contributions from representatives of the organic sector from throughout the world and provides comprehensive organic farming statistics that cover surface area under organic management, numbers of farms and specific information about commodities and land use in organic systems. The book also contains information on the global market of the burgeoning organic sector, the latest developments in organic certification, standards and regulations, and insights into current status and emerging trends for organic agriculture by continent from the worlds foremost experts. For this edition, all statistical data and regional review chapters have been thoroughly updated. Completely new chapters on organic agriculture in the Pacific, on the International Task Force on Harmonization and Equivalence in Organic Agriculture and on organic aquaculture have been added. Published with IFOAM and FiBL

Neo-Piagetian Theories of Cognitive Development
Piagetian theory was once considered able to describe the structure and development of human thought. As a result, it generated an enthusiasm that it could direct education to develop new teaching methods, particularly in science and mathematics. However, disillusionment with Piagetian theory came rather quickly because many of its structural and developmental assumptions appeared incongruent with empirical evidence. In recent years several neo-Piagetian theories have been proposed which try to preserve the strengths of Piaget’s theory, while eliminating its weaknesses. At the same time several other models have been advanced originating from different epistemological traditions, such as c...
The Florida Manatee
From two scientists who have been at the forefront of manatee research for over three decades, The Florida Manatee offers an engaging, accessible introduction to manatee biology, including communication, diet, long-distance migration, and much more. This second edition is updated with new scientific research, as well as discussions of recent conservation efforts—largely driven by manatee injuries and deaths resulting from boat collisions—that have contributed to the robust growth of manatee numbers in Florida. It also includes the latest predictions for manatee populations and health in the future, both in Florida and worldwide. This is the perfect book for anyone seeking the most comprehensive, current information on this fascinating marine mammal.
On Nature and Language
In On Nature and Language Noam Chomsky develops his thinking on the relation between language, mind and brain, integrating current research in linguistics into the burgeoning field of neuroscience. The volume begins with a lucid introduction by the editors Belletti and Rizzi. This is followed by some of Chomsky's recent writings on these themes, together with a penetrating interview in which Chomsky provides a clear introduction to the Minimalist Program. The volume concludes with an essay on the role of intellectuals in society and government.
