O feminino é a força que move o mundo. Essa é uma verdade que aprendi em casa, com uma mulher de poucos estudos, profissional doméstica há mais de 40 anos; mas com poder e garra de transformação e superação: minha mãe, dona Marizeti Giraldi. Somos gerados pela energia e matéria do feminino, e nela podemos refazer e potencializar os próximos passos desta atual humanidade, em crises de valores e mutações sócio-culturais e biológicas. Eu acredito que as respostas, para as grandes mudanças desta década e das próximas, está nas mulheres - as inovadoras. O ser mulher vai além de uma definição de gênero ou sexualidade, mas é a força co-criadora, divina e livre. As mulheres podem! Esse segundo volume da Coleção de Sala – “Mulheres no Rádio Amapaense", de forma singular, afetiva e plural, traz para você histórias de profissionais apaixonadas pela comunicação jornalística e pelo rádio no Amapá.
The new edition of Historical Dictionary of Mozambique covers the Bantu expansion; the arrival of the Portuguese navigators and their str competition with local African power centers and coastal Arab-Swahili trading towns; the trade cycles of gold, ivory, and slaves; the establishment of the semi-Africanized prazos along the Zambezi Valley; “pacification” campaigns; and the period of Portuguese weakness in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when vast tracts of land were rented to concessionary companies. In the late colonial period the Salazar dictatorship tried to reassert Portuguese power, but after ten years of armed struggle for national liberation, Mozambique gained its independence in 1975. The book contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Mozambique.
An "Identification Manual" on the Amazonian Entomofauna for beginners and non-specialists has been demanded for many years. Most taxonomic literature on Neotropical Arachnida and Myriapoda is strictly descriptive, keys in translated and accepted textbooks are restricted to the higher taxa and first introductions to Amazonian arthropods refer to specific sampling sites and are mainly devoted to insects. And the other hand, taxonomical knowledge on Amazonian Arthropoda was much improved due to investigations for the last two decades, cooperatively between the National Institute for Amazonian Research and the Tropical Ecology Working Group at the Max-Planck-Institute for Limnology in Ploen/Germany

After more than three decades of economic malaise, many African countries are experiencing an upsurge in their economic fortunes linked to the booming international market for minerals. Spurred by the shrinking viability of peasant agriculture, rural dwellers have been engaged in a massive search for alternative livelihoods, one of the most lucrative being artisanal mining. While an expanding literature has documented the economic expansion of artisanal mining, this book is the first to probe its societal impact, demonstrating that artisanal mining has the potential to be far more democratic and emancipating than preceding modes. Delineating the paradoxes of artisanal miners working alongsid...
