This book provides an overview of the basic concepts and new methods in the emerging scientific area known as quantum plasmas. In the near future, quantum effects in plasmas will be unavoidable, particularly in high density scenarios such as those in the next-generation intense laser-solid density plasma experiment or in compact astrophysics objects. Currently, plasmas are in the forefront of many intriguing questions around the transition from microscopic to macroscopic modeling of charged particle systems. Quantum Plasmas: an Hydrodynamic Approach is devoted to the quantum hydrodynamic model paradigm, which, unlike straight quantum kinetic theory, is much more amenable to investigate the n...
Rating agencies judge how solvent banks and big companies are. Prior to the financial crisis they were too optimistic when rating the risk of the banks and this prompted politicians worldwide to issue new regulations. This book explains what rating agencies do, why they are so important for the economy, and the new European Regulation.

Published in honour of Marc Feix this book tries to give a thorough overview of mathematical methods, analytical and numerical techniques and simulations applied to a variety of problems from physics and engineering. The book addresses graduate students, researchers and especially engineers. The main emphasis is to apply the generality of methods to form a coherent and stimulating approach to practical investigations.
immy Page is still recognized as one of the most influential guitarists of all time and one of the most important rock composers worldwide. And Page's relationship with Brazil is old: in addition to having starred in many meetings with national music stars, the Led Zeppelin guitarist spent seasons in Bahia and inaugurated Casa Jimmy to house homeless youth in the capital of Rio de Janeiro – which earns him the title of Honorary Citizen of Rio de Janeiro. This intense story is the theme of Jimmy Page in Brazil, a bilingual book (Portuguese / English) by journalist and musician Leandro Souto Maior. The book has a preface by Ed Motta, one of the greatest collectors and connoisseurs of Led Zeppelin's work in Brazil, and postscript by young guitarist Sebastião Reis, the son of musician Nando Reis, what confirms that the band has crossed generations. The layout and cover bear the signature of Tomás Paoni, the artistic director of the project. The cover photo is by Marcos Hermes, a great photographer in the Brazilian music market. The edition is signed by Chris Fuscaldo, director of Garota FM Books.

O inglês Jimmy Page ainda é reconhecido como um dos guitarristas mais influentes de todos os tempos e um dos mais importantes compositores do rock no mundo todo. E a relação de Page com o Brasil é antiga: além de ter protagonizado muitos encontros com estrelas da música nacional, o guitarrista do Led Zeppelin passou temporadas na Bahia e inaugurou a Casa Jimmy para abrigar jovens sem lar na capital fluminense – o que lhe rendeu o título de Cidadão Honorário do Rio de Janeiro. Essa história para lá de intensa é o tema de Jimmy Page no Brasil, livro bilíngue (Português / Inglês) do jornalista e músico Leandro Souto Maior. O livro tem prefácio de Ed Motta, um dos maiores colecionadores e conhecedores da obra do Led Zeppelin, e posfácio do jovem guitarrista Sebastião Reis, o filho de Nando Reis, confirmando que a banda atravessou gerações. A diagramação e a capa levam a assinatura de Tomás Paoni, diretor artístico do projeto. A foto da capa é de Marcos Hermes, grande fotógrafo do mercado da música. A edição é assinada por Chris Fuscaldo, diretora da Garota FM Books.
