Podemos os Periféricos Brasileiros Aprender nos Linguajares Sul-Norte

Esta obra é o compilado dos artigos produzidos pelos discentes da primeira turma do curso de Especialização em Educação Bilíngue da Faculdade Insted cujo locus insurge, resiste na periferia-Sul dessa tríplice fronteira do Centro-Oeste brasileiro (Brasil, Paraguai, Bolívia). Os referidos estudos desempenharam a função de avalição final para a obtenção do título de especialista. Desta feita, devida à relevância dos conteúdos abordados à área da Educação Bilíngue de Prestígio e Internacional, entendemos que poderíamos contribuir, mesmo que minimamente, ao fornecer nossos primeiros achados científicos em terras pantaneiras para um futuro e mais abrangente estudo – quiçá de âmbito nacional. Esperamos que este livro consiga revelar ao leitor a possibilidade de observar o contexto brasileiro e reconhecer nossos avanços, lacunas e expectativas como comunidade implicada no fazer pedagógico, para que possamos, cada vez mais, desenvolver um olhar informado e investigativo para o que ocorre em nosso País.

Food is fundamental to health and social participation, yet food poverty has increased in the global North. Adopting a realist ontology and taking a comparative case approach, Families and Food in Hard Times addresses the global problem of economic retrenchment and how those most affected are those with the least resources. Based on research carried out with low-income families with children aged 11-15, this timely book examines food poverty in the UK, Portugal and Norway in the decade following the 2008 financial crisis. It examines the resources to which families have access in relation to public policies, local institutions and kinship and friendship networks, and how they intersect. Thro...

Based on an analysis of the approaches that have proven effective in recent decades, a set of investments and policies is propo...

A burial environment is a complex and dynamic system. It plays host to an abundance of interdependent chemical, physical, and biological processes, which are greatly influenced by the inclusion of a body and its subsequent decay.

The phenomenon of "travelling reforms" has become an object of great professional interest and intensive academic scrutiny. The fact that the same set of educational reforms is transferred from one country to another made scholars wonder whether policy transfer has increased as a result of globalization. But also the fact that policy makers increasingly import "best practices "and international standards and use them as a tool to accelerate reform has captured the imagination of many that deal with policy studies. An international comparative perspective is key for understanding why reforms travel from one corner of the world to another. Not surprisingly, the study of policy borrowing and le...

Lagoa Santa Karst: Brazil's Iconic Karst Region

This book discusses the Lagoa Santa Karst, which has been internationally known since the pioneering studies of the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the early 1800s. It covers the speleogenesis, geology, vegetation, fauna, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and anthropogenic use of the Lagoa Santa Karst and is the first English-language book on this major karst area. The area, which has been at the heart of the debate on the origin and age of human colonization in the Americas, is characterized by a classical and scenic karst landscape with limestone cliffs, karst lakes and karst plains, in addition to numerous solution dolines. More than 1,000 caves have been documented in the area, many with significant archeological and paleontological value. Despite its great importance, the Lagoa Santa Karst faces severe environmental threats due to limestone mining and the expansion of the metropolis of Belo Horizonte and its surrounding towns. The growing recognition of the area’s remarkable significance has led to increasing concern, and a number of protected areas have now been established, improving the conservation status of this landmark karst area.
