Discursos midiáticos em ciência e educação
Em "Discursos midiáticos em Ciência e Educação" são expostas as temáticas oriundas dos debates promovidos no/pelo Grupo de Estudos Epistemologia e Educação na Unesp, Rio Claro.

This book identifies the regime-sponsored, ideologically driven, and systemic destruction of books and libraries in the 20th century that often served as a prelude or accompaniment to the massive human tragedies that have characterized a most violent century.
