The volume offers a great variety of detailed studies of cases where historians have applied their expertise outside the academic sphere. With contributions focusing on Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Pacific and Europe the book has a broad geographical scope. Subdivided in five sections, the book starts with a critical look back on some historians who broke with mainstream academic positions by combining thei...

É com satisfação que nós do LAPHIS –Laboratório de Aprendizagem Histórica da UNESPAR e do Leitorado Antiguo da UPE apresentamos esse novo livro para vocês. Ele é resultado do nosso Simpósio Eletrônico de Ensino de História realizado em Abril de 2018, que recebeu conferencistas e cinco mesas diferentes ao longo de uma semana de intensos e ricos debates. Como parte integrante de nosso trabalho, ao final do evento produzimos essa série de livros cheia de experiências, relatos e projetos para uma aprendizagem histórica atualizada e enriquecedora. Cada volume traz uma proposta diferente [e por isso, optamos sempre por produzir um ebook, e não anais], que agregam nossos convidados, participantes, e todos aqueles que desejam saber um pouco mais sobre as questões do Ensino de História em nosso país. Convidamos tod@s a leitura desse nosso novo volume, cuja temática agrega pesquisadores de todos os cantos do Brasil, envolvidos na difícil – mas edificante – tarefa de trabalhar a História. Seja bem vind@ ao nosso livro! Bons estudos!
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
