Normalização do trabalho acadêmico

Este livro apresenta as normas de apresentação de trabalhos acadêmicos editadas pela Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT) e o porquê da normalização. Por partir de uma proposta de tornar acessível estas regras para aqueles que não dominam termos técnicos específicos, entendeu-se que antes de apresentar o formato, seria preciso explicar algumas características da escrita científica e os passos para o desenho de um projeto de pesquisa. Esperamos que com esse preâmbulo aqueles que estejam engajados na produção acadêmico-científica se sensibilize para a importância de se adotar as normas para a comunicação dos resultados de suas pesquisas e reflexões.

Retratos da biblioteca escolar da rede estadual de ensino de Goiás

Apresentamos o resultado do projeto “Diagnóstico das Bibliotecas Escolares do Estado de Goiás e elaboração de proposta para criação da Rede Estadual de Bibliotecas Escolares”.

Mapping Different Geographies

This book is the outcome of the work of contributors who participated in the wo- shop “Mapping Different Geographies (MDG)” in February 2010, held in Puchberg am Schneeberg, Austria. This meeting brought together cartographers, artists and geoscientists who research and practice in applications that focus on enhancing o- to-one communication or develop and evaluate methodologies that provide inno- tive methods for sharing information. The main intention of the workshop was to investigate how ‘different’ geographies are being mapped and the possibilities for developing new theories and techniques for information design and transfer based on place or location. So as to communicate thes...

Encyclopedia of Addictions [2 volumes]

This two volume set contains frank and factual information about symptoms, causes, effects, prevention, and treatment of substance abuse—alcohol, nicotine, and drugs—and of behavioral addictions such as eating disorders, pathological gambling, and compulsive sexual activity. Including the most up-to-date research, the addiction entries are based largely on criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.Tracing the history of the debate over whether addiction is a choice or a disease, the volumes explain how genetic and biological findings support the disease concept while lifestyle choices affect the course of the disease. Graphics and discussions of the brain structures that support this self-reinforcing mechanism illustrate why treatments that obstruct the pathway are showing such promise.

This Reference Work is devoted to plant secondary metabolites and their evolutionary adaptation to different hosts and pests. Secondary metabolites play an important biological role in plants’ defence against herbivores, abiotic stresses and pathogens, and they also attract beneficial organisms such as pollinators. In this work, readers will find a comprehensive review of the phytochemical diversity, modification and adaptation of secondary metabolites, and the consequences of their co-evolution with plant parasites, pollinators, and herbivores. Chapters from expert contributors are organised into twelve sections that collate the current knowledge in intra-/inter-specific diversity in plan...

An Introduction to Science Studies

The purpose of this book is to give a coherent account of the different perspectives on science and technology that are normally studied under various disciplinary heads such as philosophy of science, sociology of science and science policy. It is intended for students embarking on courses in these subjects and assumes no special knowledge of any science. It is written in a direct and simple style, and technical language is introduced very sparingly. As various perspectives are sketched out in this book, the reader moves towards a consistent conception of contemporary science as a rapidly changing social institution that has already grown out of its traditional forms and plays a central role in society at large. It will appeal to students in a wide range of scientific disciplines and complement well Professor Ziman's earlier books.
