A Poison Like No Other
“Informed, utterly blindsiding account.” - Booklist, starred review It’s falling from the sky and in the air we breathe. It’s in our food, our clothes, and our homes. It’s microplastic and it’s everywhere—including our own bodies. Scientists are just beginning to discover how these tiny particles threaten health, but the studies are alarming. In A Poison Like No Other, Matt Simon reveals a whole new dimension to the plastic crisis, one even more disturbing than plastic bottles washing up on shores and grocery bags dumped in landfills. Dealing with discarded plastic is bad enough, but when it starts to break down, the real trouble begins. The very thing that makes plastic so use...
ECOLOGIA MARINHA
ECOLOGIA MARINHA apresenta um panorama sobre o tema através de diferentes abordagens sobre os organismos e os ecossistemas marinhos. Dentre os organismos microscópicos, incluindo os vírus, são explorados sua diversidade e importância, a origem e ecologia dos eucariontes, bem como as florações de microalgas nocivas. Para os organismos macroscópicos são apresentados aspectos ecológicos dos seres nectônicos, tais como peixes (incluindo recursos pesqueiros), invertebrados, mamíferos, aves e répteis. Os diversos ecossistemas marinhos, como as praias, estuários, lagunas, costões rochosos, manguezais, plataformas continentais, mar profundo, ilhas oceânicas e recifes são caracteriza...
COOPERAÇÃO INTERSETORIAL E INOVAÇÃO
As regras estabelecidas pela Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos no Brasil bem como outros marcos legais acabam com a dualidade do antigo sistema coleta-disposição final, ingressando na cadeia de resíduos determinadas obrigações que exigem maior complexidade técnica e parcerias estratégicas, garantindo assim um maior aproveitamento dos resíduos sólidos em um ciclo econômico, gerando, sobretudo, novas oportunidades de negócios e empregos verdes, bem como evitando a saturação na captação dos recursos naturais e protegendo o clima. Contudo, os obstáculos tecnológicos resultados tanto da insuficiente capacidade técnica, quanto regulatória, ainda precisam ser superados. Co...
A Biblioteca e a Nação:
A Biblioteca Nacional brasileira é a oitava maior do mundo. Mais do que livros, suas estantes estão repletas de documentos que contribuem para a formação da memória nacional, servindo como semióforos da Nação, como nos lembra Marilena Chauí. Tendo como objeto de estudo os conteúdos dos Anais da Biblioteca Nacional, os acervos nominados "Memória do Mundo" pela Unesco e as exposições em comemorações a efemérides nacionais, o livro A Biblioteca e a Nação: entre catálogos, exposições, documentos e memória busca compreender os caminhos e descaminhos na construção do imaginário social acerca do que é a Nação brasileira pela Biblioteca Nacional.
Particles in Water
Based on the authors more than 35 years of experience, Particles in Water: Properties and Processes examines particles and their behavior in water systems. The book offers clear and accessible methods for characterizing a range of particles both individually and as aggregates. The author delineates the principles for understanding particle
Applications of Environmental Aquatic Chemistry
Professionals and students who come from disciplines other than chemistry need a concise yet reliable guide that explains key concepts in environmental chemistry, from the fundamental science to the necessary calculations for applying them. Updated and reorganized, Applications of Environmental Aquatic Chemistry: A Practical Guide, Third Edition provides the essential background for understanding and solving the most frequent environmental chemistry problems. Diverse and self-contained chapters offer a centralized and easily navigable framework for finding useful data tables that are ordinarily scattered throughout the literature. Worked examples provide step-by-step details for frequently u...
Marine Microbiology
The third edition of this bestselling text has been rigorously updated to reflect major new discoveries and concepts since 2011, especially progress due to extensive application of high-throughput sequencing, single cell genomics and analysis of large datasets. Significant advances in understanding the diversity and evolution of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, and viruses are discussed and their importance in marine processes is explored in detail. Now in full colour throughout, all chapters have been significantly expanded, with many new diagrams, illustrations and boxes to aid students’ interest and understanding. Novel pedagogy is designed to encourage students to explore current hi...
Chemical Processes in Marine Environments
This book discusses recent developments in the study of chemical processes and equilibria in the marine environment and in the air/water and water/sediment interfaces. The chemical cycle of carbon as well as the effect of organic substances on the speciation and distribution of inorganic and organometallic substances are extensively discussed. Much of the recent progress in the area is the direct result of advanced analytical technologies and chemometric applications which are highlighted in the book.
