Como disciplina ligada à Linguística, a Terminologia se interessa pelo estudo do conjunto de termos dos diversos domínios de áreas técnico-científicas. Ocupa-se também com os conceitos designados pelos termos em uma dada língua de especialidade, buscando a sistematização e a difusão de informações no âmbito do planejamento e da normalização linguística. Cabré (1998) considera que toda atividade terminológica se justifica socialmente por sua utilidade em relação à solução de problemas relacionados à informação e à comunicação. Parte-se então da convicção de que a importância social da Terminologia está enfatizada pelas características da sociedade contemporânea, marcada pela extensão do conhecimento especializado e pelo plurilinguísmo necessário a uma globalização comunicacional eficaz.

Alex Masters was the strong silent type. With his Nordic good looks, confidence, and Southern charm, women were never a problem for him... until he met her. Now, even five years later, the one woman he wanted, kept slipping through his fingers. Devon Montanez was a woman on a mission - she needed to find her mother, and avenge the death of her father. Alex Masters was a treat she indulged in whenever she could, but like most things decadent, she only allowed herself small doses. Alex made her forget her purpose, and she couldn't afford that. Things come to a head, when forces - like the winds of a hurricane - begin to toss them together over and over again. These same forces threaten, not only their love, but their very lives.
In Ray Kurzweil's New York Times bestseller The Singularity is Near, the futurist and entrepreneur describes the Singularity, a likely future utterly different than anything we can imagine. The Singularity is triggered by the tremendous growth of human and computing intelligence that is an almost inevitable outcome of Moore's Law. Since the book's publication, the coming of the Singularity is now eagerly anticipated by many of the leading thinkers in Silicon Valley, from PayPal mastermind Peter Thiel to Google co-founder Larry Page. The formation of the Singularity University, and the huge popularity of the Singularity website kurzweilai.com, speak to the importance of this intellectual move...
Brad Maxfield's strikingly well-crafted poems are a troubled search for connection and significance in both the deteriorating and the beautiful configurations of the visible world. While many of the poems focus on the natural world, there is no romanticizing of Nature in the pastoral tradition, no reassuring or redemptive beauty intrinsic in the world's raw images. Rather, the speaker in these poems strives for an accurate assessment of just how much meaning is available to the naked eye. The answers, if there are any, lie within the interplay of the poet's jaded memories and his thwarted desires. -Brian Bedard, Editor, South Dakota Review
'I wish it was science fiction, but I know it's not.' Jaan Tallinn, co-founder of Skype 'If you read just one book that makes you confront scary high-tech realities that we'll soon have no choice but to address, make it this one.' Washington Post Corporations and government agencies around the world have for years been pouring billions into achieving AI's Holy Grail - human-level intelligence. But once AI has attained it, scientists argue, it will have survival drives much like our own. We may be forced to compete with a rival more cunning, more powerful, and more alien than we can imagine. First published ten years ago, Our Final Invention predicted much of the artificial 'intelligence explosion' that is now ripping through our culture, and was named by Elon Musk as one of five books everyone should read about the future. Now with an urgent new preface, James Barrat's landmark work explores the ethics, history and future perils of the heedless pursuit of advanced AI. Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to?
