História
Usos do passado, ética e negacionismos, incide sobre um dos maiores problemas enfrentados pelos historiadores e historiadoras na atualidade, a saber, a deslegitimação gradual que a produção científica do saber histórico vem sofrendo a partir da influência de grupos ligados à extrema direita. A crise de autoridade epistêmica que, segundo muitos especialistas, acomete não só a história como outros campos do saber acadêmico, exige respostas que envolvam simultaneamente aspectos epistemológicos e éticos. Os textos do livro contemplam reflexões emergentes da relação da atuação historiadora na pesquisa, na docência e nas atividades desenvolvidas junto à comunidade não acadêmica. Soma-se a isso o compromisso ético e político com a memória dos mortos e com as demandas de homens e mulheres do presente.
Museu das Bandeiras: lugar de memória
O foco deste livro são as diversas memórias sobre o Museu das Bandeiras (MuBan), a partir da narrativa dos seus funcionários, visitantes, pesquisadores e comunidade que o cerca. Para além de um museu, ele foi, durante quase 200 anos, primeiramente câmara e cadeia e depois somente cadeia. É um prédio que dialoga com a Cidade de Goiás, que faz parte do seu traçado original, o único construído a partir de uma planta enviada de Portugal. É um edifício singular, localizado na parte mais alta de uma colina, visto de várias partes na cidade patrimônio da humanidade. Como uma instituição que promove a diversidade e a inclusão, sabemos que não há somente uma história a ser contada sobre o MuBan; e sim centenas, quiçá milhares, que são construídas cotidianamente na forma como ele é apropriado e ressignificado por quem o vê, visita, ou mesmo ouve o que os mais idosos contam a respeito daquele espaço. É nesse emaranhado de histórias, memórias e breves narrativas, que dificilmente seriam levadas em consideração numa história escrita a partir dos documentos oficiais, que este livro se constrói.

Romans and Barbarians Beyond the Frontiers
This first thematic volume of the new series TRAC Themes in Roman Archaeology brings renowned international experts to discuss different aspects of interactions between Romans and ‘barbarians’ in the north-western regions of Europe. Northern Europe has become an interesting arena of academic debate around the topics of Roman imperialism and Roman:‘barbarian’ interactions, as these areas comprised Roman provincial territories, the northern frontier system of the Roman Empire (limes), the vorlimes (or buffer zone), and the distant barbaricum. This area is, today, host to several modern European nations with very different historical and academic discourses on their Roman past, a factor...
Video Game Spaces
An exploration of how we see, use, and make sense of modern video game worlds. The move to 3D graphics represents a dramatic artistic and technical development in the history of video games that suggests an overall transformation of games as media. The experience of space has become a key element of how we understand games and how we play them. In Video Game Spaces, Michael Nitsche investigates what this shift means for video game design and analysis. Navigable 3D spaces allow us to crawl, jump, fly, or even teleport through fictional worlds that come to life in our imagination. We encounter these spaces through a combination of perception and interaction. Drawing on concepts from literary s...
Playing Nature
A potent new book examines the overlap between our ecological crisis and video games Video games may be fun and immersive diversions from daily life, but can they go beyond the realm of entertainment to do something serious—like help us save the planet? As one of the signature issues of the twenty-first century, ecological deterioration is seemingly everywhere, but it is rarely considered via the realm of interactive digital play. In Playing Nature, Alenda Y. Chang offers groundbreaking methods for exploring this vital overlap. Arguing that games need to be understood as part of a cultural response to the growing ecological crisis, Playing Nature seeds conversations around key environmenta...
The Namban Trade
Winner of the prize "Fundação Oriente – Embaixador João de Deus Ramos" of the Academia de Marinha 2021 This book attempts to depict certain aspects of the Portuguese trade in East Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries by analyzing the activities of the merchants and Christian missionaries involved. It also discusses the response of the Japanese regime in handling the systemic changes that took place in the Asian seas. Consequently, it explains how Jesuit missionaries forged close ties with local merchants from the start of their activities in East Asian waters, and there is no doubt that the propagation of Christianity in Japan was a result of their cooperation. The author of this book attempted to combine the essence of previous studies by Japanese and western scholars and added several new findings from analyses of original Japanese and European language documents.
An Integrated Company-Wide Management System
This book offers a comprehensive guide to implementing a company-wide management system (CWMS), utilising up-to-date methodologies of lean-six sigma in order to achieve high levels of business excellence. It builds the foundation for quality and continuous improvement, which can be implemented in any organization. The book begins with an introduction to and an overview of CWMSs, and reviews the existing literature on various management systems. It then discusses the integration and implementation of lean-six sigma in supply chain management. The integration approach presented highlights the link between the existing management systems and shows how continuous improvement methodologies are incorporated. The book then examines the components of CWMS, comparing them to other systems. It also explores Kano-based six sigma and concludes with further recommendations for reading. This book covers five management systems integrated into one novel approach that can be followed by organizations wishing to achieve quality and business excellence. Covering lean-six sigma – an essential element of management systems – it is a valuable resource for practitioners and academics alike.
Natural Product Extraction
Natural products are sought after by the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, and research continues into their potential for new applications. Extraction of natural products in an economic and environmentally-friendly way is of high importance to all industries involved. This book presents a holistic and in-depth view of the techniques available for extracting natural products, with modern and more environmentally-benign methods, such as ultrasound and supercritical fluids discussed alongside conventional methods. Examples and case studies are presented, along with the decision-making process needed to determine the most appropriate method. Where appropriate, scale-up and process integration is discussed. Relevant to researchers in academia and industry, and students aiming for either career path, Natural Product Extraction presents a handy digest of the current trends and latest developments in the field with concepts of Green Chemistry in mind.
