Os capítulos integrantes da obra apresentam pesquisas finalizadas ou em andamento que envolvem técnicas, métodos e práticas como meios para acessar, produzir e expressar o conhecimento. Por meio das estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem adotadas e práticas pedagógicas, que correspondem aos diversos procedimentos planejados, praticados e implementados por profissionais da educação tanto dentro quanto fora dos muros escolares, são oferecidas alternativas para o exercício do processo de ensino. Referidas metodologias proporcionam novas oportunidades e horizontes por meio da construção de caminhos alternativos para a educação. Nesse contexto, os capítulos discutem os entraves que historicamente permeiam a educação, bem como os novos panoramas ou problemas que desafiam os docentes e discentes no cotidiano escolar. Os estudos e as pesquisas têm como finalidade atingir propostas de ensino por meio de alternativas para superar limites, abrir horizontes e construir caminhos que têm sido aplicadas no âmbito escolar.
Integrating issues of climate modelling, ecological and human dimensions of climate change, and policy implications, this volume addresses the critical problems of climate change from a Southern Hemisphere perspective. However, the spatial focus in the book is not defined just by latitude, but also by geopolitical criteria: encompassing the developing world, the tropics north of the equator, as well as regions south of the equator. The book begins by examining the geographic and geopolitical plurality of the Earth, including north and south distinctions and the science/policy plurality. A hemispheric perspective on coupled climate modelling is then discussed, providing a state-of-the-art summary of climate modelling as it pertains to the Southern Hemisphere. In addition, the book examines the interaction of humanity, the biosphere and the atmosphere, discussing the biospheric effects of climate change, possible climatic impacts of biospheric change, particularly tropical deforestation and the human health implications of climate and climate change.
This volume examines the work of more than 100 female artists with nearly 300 works in the fields of painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance art, and other experimental media.

Published in association with the Hammer Museum. The exhibition took place from Sep 15, 2017-Dec 31, 2017, in the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.

In the seventeenth century, emerging practices such as print, collecting and performance influenced early modern discussions of stillness and motion.
The discussion of ideas, methods, scientific results, empirical practices and perspectives on the restoration of high diversity tropical and subtropical forest formations is the objective of this book; however, principles here proposed may be used in other less complex forest formations. Special attention is given to the role of the ecological processes on the restoration of functional forest communities, once the composition and structure of these natural or even restored communities change in space and time.
O conteúdo desta obra foi organizado com o intuito de apresentar um panorama da cadeia agroalimentar (especialmente hortifrutigranjeiros) da Região Central do Rio Grande do Sul, que foi realizado por meio de contribuições fundadas nas pesquisas e experimentações do Grupo de Pesquisa Agroalimentares Georreferenciadas (GIPAG), da Universidade de Santa Maria. Nessa trajetória, a partir de aportes teóricos e metodológicos, foi lançado um olhar diferenciado para a diversidade de estratégias manifestadas nos processos e nas práticas que conectam a produção rural com o consumo urbano, em diferentes escalas e contextos. Nesse sentido, além do potencial científico, também é objetivo...
In this collection of trenchant essays and interviews, István Mészáros, the world’s preeminent Marxist philosopher and winner of the 2008 Libertador Award for Critical Thought (the Bolivar Prize), lays bare the exploitative structure of modern capitalism. He argues with great power that the world’s economies are on a social and ecological precipice, and that unless we take decisive action to radically transform our societies we will find ourselves thrust headfirst into barbarism and environmental catastrophe. Mészáros, however, is no pessimist. He believes that the multiple crises of world capitalism will encourage the working class to demand center stage in the construction of a ne...
Rio de Janeiro in the first half of the nineteenth century had the largest population of urban slaves in the Americas—primary contributors to the atmosphere and vitality of the city. Although most urban historians have ignored these inhabitants of Rio, Mary Karasch's generously illustrated study provides a comprehensive description and analysis of the city's rich Afro-Cariocan culture, including its folklore, its songs, and accounts of its oral history. Professor Karasch's investigation of the origins of Rio's slaves demonstrates the importance of the "Central Africaness" of the slave population to an understanding of its culture. Challenging the thesis of the comparative mildness of the B...
