Brazilian Cinema and the Aesthetics of Ruins
"Guilherme Carrera's compelling book examines imagery of ruins in contemporary Brazilian documentary film-making and considers these representations in the context of Brazilian society. Carrera groups these films into three distinct types: firstly, unconventional documentaries focused on Brasília - The Age of Stone (2013) and White Out, Black In (2014)); Rio de Janeiro - ExPerimetral (2016), The Harbour (2013), Tropical Curse (2016), and HU Enigma (2011)); and indigenous territories - Corumbiara: They Shoot Indians, Don't They? (2009), Tava, The House of Stone (2012), Two Villages, One Path (2008), and Guarani Exile (2011)). In portraying ruinscapes in different ways, the book argues that t...
Membrane Technologies for Water Treatment
Focuses on the application of membrane technologies in removing toxic metals\metalloids from water. Particular attention is devoted to the removal of arsenic, uranium, and fluoride. These compounds are all existing in the earth’s crust at levels between two and five thousands micrograms per kg (parts per million) on average and these compounds can be considered highly toxic to humans, who are exposed to them primarily from air, food and water. In order to comply with the new maximum contaminant level, numerous studies have been undertaken to improve established treatments or to develop novel treatment technologies for removing toxic metals from contaminated surface and groundwater. Among t...
Sustainable Management of Environmental Pollutants through Phytoremediation
Traditional remedial technologies can be cost-prohibitive and sometimes contribute to environmental contamination themselves. In order to better manage the issues of global pollution, phytoremediation, a plant-based cleanup method, has gained attention as an efficient, affordable, and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional remedial technologies for the cleanup of a variety of hazardous pollutants. The demand for advanced technologies having potential to sustainably manage waste and pollutants in the environment will help to continue the quest for more novel treatment methods. Sustainable Management of Environmental Pollutants through Phytoremediation discusses all the aspects of sustainable environmental management through phytoremediation, making it a valuable resource for both academics and researchers in developing and developed countries. Examines technology advancements made toward the recycling and management of waste. Designed in a way to cover scientific principles, modeling and methods, designs, and reference data. Discusses the utilization of waste for renewable energy for economic growth and further social benefits.

Inclusive Markets in Brazil
The UNDP’s global initiative—“Growing Inclusive Markets”—brings together cases from all over the world and similar regional publications. In Brazil, UNDP has created the “Incluir Initiative” which aims to encourage and recognize inclusive businesses in the country. The country is facing major challenges on all levels and the private sector is counted on to be one of the reliable players to address these challenges. This report, developed under the Incluir Initiative, is the first output of an important partnership with business associations and business schools seeking to give Brazilian organizations the capacity to promote inclusive business in an innovative way. The report of...
