The Book of Tokyo
A shape-shifter arrives at Tokyo harbour in human form, set to embark on an unstoppable rampage through the city’s train network… A young woman is accompanied home one night by a reclusive student, and finds herself lured into a flat full of eerie Egyptian artefacts… A man suspects his young wife’s obsession with picnicking every weekend in the city’s parks hides a darker motive… At first, Tokyo appears in these stories as it does to many outsiders: a city of bewildering scale, awe-inspiring modernity, peculiar rules, unknowable secrets and, to some extent, danger. Characters observe their fellow citizens from afar, hesitant to stray from their daily routines to engage with them....
The Craft and Science of Coffee
The Craft and Science of Coffee follows the coffee plant from its origins in East Africa to its current role as a global product that influences millions of lives though sustainable development, economics, and consumer desire.For most, coffee is a beloved beverage. However, for some it is also an object of scientifically study, and for others it is approached as a craft, both building on skills and experience. By combining the research and insights of the scientific community and expertise of the crafts people, this unique book brings readers into a sustained and inclusive conversation, one where academic and industrial thought leaders, coffee farmers, and baristas are quoted, each informing...
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. (Suely Gomes, Frederico R. Oliveira)
Letramento Informacional
O presente livro é composto por uma coletânea de reflexões que, em seu conjunto, é capaz de apontar uma profunda leitura sobre a ciência e a comunicação científica, contribuindo não somente para os debates acerca do letramento informação, como também para outras áreas do conhecimento que possuem intersecções com o uso de dados emanados da própria ciência. (Rosana Maria Ribeiro Borges)
The Book of Gaza
Under the Israeli occupation of the '70s and '80s, writers in Gaza had to go to considerable lengths to ever have a chance of seeing their work in print. Manuscripts were written out longhand, invariably under pseudonyms, and smuggled out of the Strip to Jerusalem, Cairo or Beirut, where they then had to be typed up. Consequently, fiction grew shorter, novels became novellas, and short stories flourished as the city's form of choice. Indeed, to Palestinians elsewhere, Gaza became known as 'the exporter of oranges and short stories'. This anthology brings together some of the pioneers of the Gazan short story from that era, as well as younger exponents of the form, with ten stories that offer glimpses of life in the Strip that go beyond the global media headlines; stories of anxiety, oppression, and violence, but also of resilience and hope, of what it means to be a Palestinian, and how that identity is continually being reforged; stories of ordinary characters struggling to live with dignity in what many have called 'the largest prison in the world'.
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”. O objetivo do projeto era primeiramente realizar o diagnóstico para, posteriormente, propor a criação da Rede Estadual de Bibliotecas Escolares. Por conta de muitos impasses só conseguimos aplicar os questionários para as escolas no ano de 2016, tendo os resultados analisados em 2017. Os resultados foram apresentados no CBBD de 2017 e na Revista Brasileira de Biblioteconomia, também em 2017. O ebook com os resultados da pesquisa está disponível na página do projeto (pbe.fic.ufg.br e cafecomleitura.fi...

In her brief life she wrote poems, essays, short stories and a great, multivolume diary.

Meeting with My Brother
Yi Mun-yol's Meeting with My Brother is narrated by a middle-aged South Korean professor, also named Yi, whose father abandoned his family and defected to the North at the outbreak of the Korean War. Many years later, despite having spent most of his life under a cloud of suspicion as the son of a traitor, Yi is prepared to reunite with his father. Yet before a rendezvous on the Chinese border can be arranged, his father dies. Yi then learns for the first time that he has a half-brother, whom he chooses to meet instead. As the two confront their shared legacy, their encounter takes a surprising turn. Meeting with My Brother represents the political and psychological complexity of Koreans on ...
Co-Evolution of Secondary Metabolites
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...
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...
