Esta obra dialoga congrega um esforço para compreender o campo brasileiro e suas relações, conflitos e alternativas a partir da mundialização do capital e suas implicações territoriais, ambientais, sociais, econômicas etc. Espera-se que os leitores e leitoras possam prosseguir as análises e debates sobre o espaço agrário a partir da diversidade teórica e metodológica sistematizada na coletânea.
Brazilian Estuaries
This book presents the main drivers of benthic structure and processes in estuaries from the 8,000 km-Brazilian coast, assesses the influence of natural and human disturbance, and discusses their ecological importance and management needs. Estuaries are unique coastal ecosystems often with low biodiversity that sustain and provide essential ecological services to mankind. These ecosystems include a variety of habitats with their own sediment and fauna dynamics, all of them globally altered or threatened by human activities. Mangroves, saltmarshes, tidal flats and other confined estuarine systems are under increasing stress by overfishing and other human activities leading to habitat and species loss. Combined changes in estuarine hydromorphology and in climate pose severe threats to estuarine ecosystems at a global scale.
Teorias na Geografia 2
Nas últimas décadas, tem se observado na Geografia brasileira reflexões sistematizadas sobre a natureza com temas de pesquisas que caminham em diferentes direções. As ideias e teorias estão em plena ebulição e os embates teóricos têm se manifestado na produção do conhecimento geográfico de forma mais crítica. Nesse sentido, os leitores poderão verificar, ao longo desta obra, o mergulho em teorias geográficas tendo como entrada as manifestações da natureza. Para isso, autores experientes e jovens pesquisadores nos apresentam reflexões gerais sobre teorias e modelos que perpassam a Geografia Contemporânea até teorias específicas, como a da Biogeografia Antropocênica, da ...

Brazilian Beach Systems
This book is about the more than 4,000 beach systems that form most of the 9000 km long Brazilian coast. It focuses on the beaches of each of the seventeen coastal states and three oceanic islands, their nature, morphodynamics and status. It is a must for anyone who wants to know more about this great coast and its beach systems. This is the first book ever written about the beach systems of Brazil, and actually the very first about the beaches of an entire country. The Brazilian coast extends from the mighty Amazon River and its muddy shores in the north to one of the world’s longest sandy beaches in the southern Rio Grande do Sul. It contains every beach type from wave to tide-dominated which range in size from small embayed beaches to long barrier beaches. The book is written by leading Brazilian academics and researchers and aims at the university level market, as well as coastal scientists, engineers and managers. Standard scientific terminology is used to describe the coast and its beaches. It is illustrated with more than 400 original figures and serves as a benchmark text on the Brazilian coast.
As Geógrafas na História do Pensamento Geográfico
Desconhecemos e pouco debatemos o papel de muitas mulheres que nos antecederam. Essa condicionalidade nos ajuda a compreender como noções de poder, lugar do conhecimento, erudição e ciência estão inter-relacionados ao colonialismo, patriarcado, capitalismo, gênero e raça, ainda que esse debate não seja o destaque dessa obra (está implícito). Outros campos do conhecimento como a sociologia, filosofia e a história já começaram a desenvolver programas de investigação relativos à presença das mulheres. É importante que nós, geógrafas e geógrafos, também busquemos colocá-las em nossas agendas, almejando ir além das eventualidades das lembranças pontuais. Tal propósito n...
An Introduction to Scientific Research Methods in Geography

The text discusses all parts of the research process, including scientific philosophy; basic research concepts; generating research ideas; communicating research and using library resources; sampling and research design; quantitative and qualitative data collection; data analysis, display, and interpretation; reliability and validity; using geographic information techniques in research; and ethical conduct in research.
Rio 2016
" A clear-eyed, critical examination of the social, political, and economic costs of hosting the 2016 summer Olympics The selection of Rio de Janeiro as the site of the summer 2016 Olympic Games set off jubilant celebrations in Brazil—and created enormous expectations for economic development and the advancement of Brazil as a major player on the world stage. Although the games were held without major incident, the economic, environmental, political, and social outcomes for Brazil ranged from disappointing to devastating. Corruption scandals trimmed the fat profits that many local real estate developers had envisioned, and the local government was driven into bankruptcy. At the other end o...
Landscapes and Landforms of Brazil
This book presents Brazil as a country of continental dimensions. Its territory has a large variety of rock types, geological structures and climates. The country has a large variety of landscapes, such as the humid plains of the Amazon River, the dry plateaus of the semi-arid region or the subtropical mountains of the southern region. On the coast, some plateaus and mountains, like the Serra do Mar Mountain range, formed a significant barrier front to access the hinterland of Brazil. On the other side of these coastal plateaus and mountains, there is a large collection of other plateaus, mountains, plains and depressions little altered by human interference. Thus, Brazil has a unique variety of different landscapes and extraordinary geomorphological sites. The book invites readers to learn more about the beautiful Brazilian landscapes, their complexity and vastness.
