Deuses da Antiguidade
"Deuses da Antiguidade" é um ensaio sobre a primeira geração de divindades do Olimpo: Zeus, Hera, Hades, Poseidon e Deméter. Nessa obra o historiador Felipe Daniel Ruzene aborda as representações mitográficas da literatura grega, as potencialidades divinas na religiosidade cívica e nas consciências coletivas na Antiga Grécia e suas recepções nas religiões e culturas contemporâneas. Para tanto, apresenta um notável prefácio sobre a fé na Antiguidade e aborda a mitografia e interpretações sobre o início dos tempos e dos seres humanos. Traz cada um desses deuses, estudando mitos, cultos e leituras desde a antiguidade, refletindo como os saberes da História, Arqueologia, Fil...

Breve História De Guaratinguetá E Região – 2a Edição (livro Físico)
Este livro pretende apresentar uma história de Guaratinguetá que busca ir além dos marcos políticos e econômicos mais conhecidos. Para isso busco apoio na história social e cultural, estudos da religião, antropologia, arqueologia, paleontologia, entre outras pesquisas que apresentam a pluralidade valeparaibana – desde a Pré-História até finais do Período Imperial. Passados três anos desde a finalização da primeira edição, a atualização desse livro em nova edição (revisada e expandida), é, para mim, um singelo manifesto. O mínimo de contribuição que posso oferecer para evitar que nossa história continue a escorrer por entre os nossos dedos. Nessa versão corrigimos erros, introduzimos pequenos acréscimos, além de incluir novas considerações sobre a historiografia, pesquisas valeparaibanas e mais algumas notas e referências necessárias. Como enunciou Jacques Le Goff, em prefácio à obra póstuma de Marc Bloch: “a história deve se mexer, progredir, mais que qualquer outra, não pode parar”.
Fungal Enzymes
This book presents a detailed account of different enzymes including pectinolytic and amylolytic systems, invertases, cellulases and hemicellulases, pectinases, proteases, laccases, phytases, alpha-glucuronidases, mannanases, lipases produced by different fungi. It also deals with many applications, including the transesterification and biodiesel production. The text incorporates different approaches to diverse enzyme systems—for a better understanding of the substrates involved in catalysis—as well as different processes of enzyme production, purification processes, gene and metabolic regulations, and engineering of enzymes.
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.
Human Trafficking
Written specifically for undergraduates and graduate students, this text is designed to increase the extent to which issues related to human trafficking are understood and addressed. Human Trafficking makes the expertise of those with experience in the anti-slavery movement of this century available to others.
Travel and Imagination
The imagination has long been associated with travel and tourism; from the seventeenth century when the showman and his peepshow box would take the village crowd to places, cities and lands through the power of stories, to today when we rely on a different range of boxes to whisk us away on our imaginative travels: the television, the cinema and the computer. Even simply the notion of travel, it would seem, gives us license to daydream. The imagination thus becomes a key concept that blurs the boundaries between our everyday lives and the idea of travel. Yet, despite what appears to be a close and comfortable link, there is an absence of scholarly material looking at travel and the imaginati...
Family Values
Why was the discourse of family values so pivotal to the conservative and free-market revolution of the 1980s and why has it continued to exert such a profound influence on American political life? Why have free-market neoliberals so often made common cause with social conservatives on the question of family, despite their differences on all other issues? In this book, Melinda Cooper challenges the idea that neoliberalism privileges atomized individualism over familial solidarities, and contractual freedom over inherited status. Delving into the history of the American poor laws, she shows how the liberal ethos of personal responsibility was always undergirded by a wider imperative of family...
Trans Historical
Trans Historical explores the plurality of gender experiences that flourished before the modern era, from Late Antiquity to the eighteenth century, across a broad geographic range, from Spain to Poland and Byzantium to Boston. Refuting arguments that transgender people, experiences, and identities were non-existent or even impossible prior to the twentieth century, this volume focuses on archives—literary texts, trial transcripts, documents, and artifacts—that denaturalize gender as a category. The volume historicizes the many different social lives of sexual differentiation, exploring what gender might have been before modern medicine, the anatomical sciences, and the sedimentation of g...
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
