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....
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)
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)

Higuchi Ichiy, Japan's first woman writer of stature in modern times, was born in 1872 and died at the age of twenty-four. In her brief life she wrote poems, essays, short stories and a great, multivolume diary. This book is made up of a critical biography, interlaced with extracts from the diary, and Robert Danly's translations of nine representative stories.
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'.
It’s the city the rest of the world descends on to party…. whether for the spectacular annual Carnival, the sun-kissed beaches, the World Cup, or, in 2016, the Olympics. It’s also a place that’s sadly become synonymous with some of the excesses of partying, the dark underbelly that accompanies any urban hedonist’s destination. But these are just two images of Rio. There are countless others: opulent seat of two former empires; stronghold of brutal, twentieth-century dictatorships; sprawling metropolis stretched between stunning mountain tops and equally stunningeconomic extremes – from the affluence of neighbourhoods like Leblon and Ipanema, to the overcrowded slums in the foothi...
