A obra que o leitor visualiza é resultado de um trabalho árduo, porém proveitoso, desenvolvido por alunos e professores da Universidade Federal do Piauí – UFPI, campus Amílcar Ferreira Sobral, e por alguns importantes colegas de outras instituições que aceitaram o desafio da caminhada junto conosco. Organizada pela Dra. Alba Patrícia e pelos seus alunos Francisco Romário, Lucas Pereira e Giseuda Ferreira, o livro reúne um conjunto de textos que versam sobre uma temática comum: o ensino da Matemática. A escolha pelo tema não foi por acaso, afinal essa disciplina tem sido colocada em escanteio. A pretensão maior é desmistificar a ideia amplamente difundida de que "matemática é um bicho de sete cabeças". Dessa forma, esperamos alcançar um público vasto, mas particularmente professores e alunos em formação que atuam/rão em salas de aula da Educação Básica. Proveitosa leitura!
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.

From the myth of William Webb Ellis to the glory of the 2003 World Cup win, this book explores the social history of rugby union in England. Ever since Tom Brown’s Schooldays the sport has seen itself as the guardian of traditional English middle-class values. In this fascinating new history, leading rugby historian Tony Collins demonstrates how these values have shaped the English game, from the public schools to mass spectator sport, from strict amateurism to global professionalism. Based on unprecedented access to the official archives of the Rugby Football Union, and drawing on an impressive array of sources from club minutes to personal memoirs and contemporary literature, the book ex...
