A obra Educação na contemporaneidade: teorias e práticas pedagógicas trata de uma série de temas relacionados à educação, com o intuito de construir propostas focadas numa ação-reflexão contextualizada na prática educativa, abordando, para isso, muitos dos problemas e desafios que permeiam essa prática. Constituído por 22 capítulos, o livro, por meio de múltiplos olhares, apresenta diversas reflexões sobre a educação no contexto da contemporaneidade, tratando das dimensões que envolvem o campo educacional, tais como didáticas pedagógicas, cidadania, direito, gestão educacional e do conhecimento, entre outras.
Como toda instituição vinculada a um sistema, a escola é uma célula de reprodução das relações econômicas, processos de gerenciamentos, políticas públicas e, sobretudo, das contradições da sociedade de classes. Pierre Bourdieu (1970), em sua obra clássica, "A reprodução", que tem como subtítulo "elementos para uma teoria de ensino", foi o grande iniciador dessa linha de abordagem que situa e explica a escola como aparato de reprodução do capitalismo. Essa abordagem aglutinou uma corrente de grandes pensadores da educação que passaram a investigar, na tradição do pensamento crítico, as estruturas de reprodução sociocultural na escola. Embora tenham dado imensa contri...
This book focuses on the dynamic process of aging and on interventions to support the development of older and integrated societies, from a multidisciplinary point of view. Gathering contributions from researchers and professionals with different backgrounds, including social and health sciences, education, engineering and IT, biology, geography and environmental science, it aims at understanding the phenomenon of population aging, in order to contribute to the development of future functional communities, fostering well-being and autonomy of the elderly, their integration and participation. Based on the proceedings of the 2nd International Congress Age.Comm Longevity and Development, organised online on November 11-12, 2021, from Castelo Branco, Portugal, this book addresses a wide range of specialists dealing with the process of aging, integration and community development in the societies of the future.

This is the first large-scale work that allows the identification of more than 1,000 species of coastal marine fish along the Brazilian coast, from the Guianas to Argentina. With the publication of "Fishes of the Brazilian Coast", Alfredo Carvalho-Filho fills a fundamental gap in the knowledge of fish worldwide. The author has participated in the Workshops for the Assessment of the State of Conservation of Marine Actinopterygii Species at the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation and gives lectures on Communications, Ichthyology and, among these, the one entitled "Biology and Marketing", with two disciplines so diverse gathered in a single presentation!
The initial ‘idea’ for the book emerged during the seminar Sharing of Innovative Pedagogical Practices that occurred at the University of Coimbra (Portugal) in 2018. Like all ‘good ideas’, this one originated in a conversation between colleagues from the University of Coimbra and the University of West London in the United Kingdom. The ‘idea’ of this book was to move away from sharing experiences related to teaching and learning in higher education in just one or two countries, but instead to organise a more European view about the policy, research and teaching practices that are shaping the way our students learn, academics teach and do research. We have a total of 16 chapters from academics in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and the Czech Republic. The book is organised in four interrelated themes: (1) policy and quality; (2) professionalisation of teaching and academic development; (3) research and teaching nexus; and (4) pedagogy and practice. Enjoy reading the book!
Plant-animal interactions have become a focus of ecological research, with the processes of herbivory being of special interest. This volume examines the interactions of leaf-cutting ants with the rainforest vegetation on Barro Colorado Islands in Central America. It is the synthesis of field research on multiple scales extending over a period of several years. This work can serve as a model study summarizing and extending knowledge about herbivorous insect-plant relationships, and the resulting consequences on structural and functional features of tropical ecosystems. The text is an invaluable reference for researchers and land managers working in the fields of plant-animal interactions, herbivory, community ecology and biodiversity.
