Na linguagem atual do patrimônio, a festa de Nossa Senhora do Ó – padroeira de Nísia Floresta – também pode ser identificada pelas lentes da antropologia, enquanto um “bem cultural”. Já para os devotos, pessoas que a sentem e a vivem, ano após ano, diria que é muito mais do que “um bem”. O livro também tem a intenção de servir como registro de uma pesquisa etnográfica realizada no ano de 2005, momento em que me “iniciei” no trabalho de campo antropológico. Além de ser o registro descritivo da festa naquele ano acontecida.
Esta obra trata sobre temas de grande impacto social, como memória e sociedade, tendo como objeto a história da comunidade quilombola Lagoa do Zeca, situada no município de Canarana, no interior da Bahia. A autora avoca para si a missão de recolher narrativas de quatro velhos e velhas da sua comunidade e construir um acervo de base para a preservação da memória daquele lugar. Como filha da comunidade, sua escrita não se restringe à observação e a relato, mas segue o movimento de escrevivência ensinado por Conceição Evaristo: são memórias de si e dos seus, em fala-performance que reverbera as vozes dos que, embora silenciados historicamente, criaram estratégias de manter viva...
Uma serra fincada no meio da caatinga com uma nascente de água em seu topo é o palco de uma longa história de ocupação que inclui a presença indígena, refúgio de pessoa escravizada e, posteriormente, chegada de uma família de retirantes. A nascente ficou conhecida como "olho d'água" e a sua localização serviu de esconderijo para aqueles que procurassem se livrar das perseguições do trabalho forçado. A Serra da Gameleira abriga uma história de resistência baseada em uma forte presença étnica com alianças entre negros e indígenas. Não é obra do acaso, a designação do local aparecer em registros de terra datados do século XVIII. O "tempo antigo e o tempo do cativeiro" ...

Rhodolith beds are recognized internationally as a unique ecosystem, and they are the focus of this interdisciplinary book. These marine beds occur worldwide, from the tropics to the poles, ranging in depth from intertidal to deep subtidal habitats and they are also represented in extensive fossil deposits. In the light of international interest in rhodoliths and maerl concerning their role in coastal ecosystems and with respect to biodiversity, fisheries, and the production of sediment, this book provides the most comprehensive view possible. As readers will discover, rhodoliths/maerl are fundamental to a range of ecological processes, acting as ecosystem engineers including playing key roles in recruitment and providing nursery habitats. Rhodoliths/maerl have been used commercially in some parts of the world, and they are understood to be vulnerable to coastal modifications and human-induced change, and hence their status may serve as an indicator of ecosystem health. Rhodoliths/maerl contribute to global carbon budgets although the extent remains to be evaluated, as do the potential impacts of changing global climates and ocean acidification.
'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.

This book summarizes what is known about mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) geographically and by major taxa. MCEs are characterized by light-dependent corals and associated communities typically found at depths ranging from 30-40 m. and extending to over 150 m. in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. They are populated with organisms typically associated with shallow coral reefs, such as macroalgae, corals, sponges, and fishes, as well as specialist species unique to mesophotic depths. During the past decade, there has been an increasing scientific and management interest in MCEs expressed by the exponential increase in the number of publications studying this unique environment. Despite th...
