Bioprospection of Co-products and Agro-industrial Wastes
The proposed book titled as “Bioprospection of Coproducts and Agro-industrial Wastes: A Sustainable Biotechnological Approach”, seeks to offer the importance of the recycling, reuse of food residue, byproducts of fruits and agri-wastes to the academic community and industries. In developing countries facing malnutrition and environmental problems, this book would be very useful. The food waste and the residues resulting from this process are now becoming environmental problems. These mainly include leaves, stems, seeds, bark, and roots that have high nutritional value, many times even greater than the part usually consumed. It is a pressing priority to reuse and recycle the waste which is detrimental to the environment. This book would be an essential reading for students, researchers, and people from the food and pharma industry.

Abordagem multiprofissional em saúde coletiva - 2a Edição
A Abordagem Multiprofissional em Saúde Coletiva – 2a Edição transcende a simples união de saberes, propondo uma mudança paradigmática na maneira como concebemos a saúde coletiva. Sua relevância está em evidenciar que os desafios da saúde pública não podem ser resolvidos por ações isoladas ou práticas segmentadas, mas, sim, por uma integração profunda entre diferentes disciplinas, onde o conhecimento não apenas se complementa, mas se transforma pela interação. A obra nos convida a refletir sobre o cuidado como um processo que vai além da biologia, abraçando aspectos sociais, culturais e emocionais que, muitas vezes, são negligenciados na prática clínica. Ao propor uma atuação coletiva, a obra sugere que a saúde é um bem comum que precisa ser construído em conjunto, reforçando que o caminho para a equidade e a melhoria na qualidade de vida está na articulação entre ciência, prática e comunidade. Mais do que um guia técnico, esta obra é um convite à reflexão sobre a necessidade de romper barreiras entre saberes e práticas, promovendo uma saúde que seja, verdadeiramente, para todos.
