O livro Imagem: diálogos e interfaces interdisciplinares nasceu da ideia desenvolvida por um grupo de docentes da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, ao estabelecer diálogos sobre o tema Imagem entre diferentes áreas de conhecimento. As imagens se fazem presentes de forma significativa no cotidiano humano e a pesquisa em torno delas possibilita novas formas de comunicações, interpretações e estéticas diferenciadas, alicerçadas em fundamentos, teorias e práticas que requeiram um domínio visual próprio e a busca ininterrupta dos sentidos definidores do próprio conhecimento. Assim, a Imagem foi o tema gerador escolhido para realizar reflexões interdisciplinares teórico-prátic...
A obra que se abre aos olhos dos leitores compreende a relação entre a Arte e a Ciência no Renascentismo a partir das relações maduras entre Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) e Lodovico Cardi (1559-1613) conhecido como Cigoli. Compreende uma pesquisa de meio década dessa relação que se inicia a partir da Madonna Assunta pintada num afresco, por Cigoli, na cúpula da capela Paolina na Basílica Papale di Santa Maria em Roma. Três fontes primárias são estudadas: o Sidereus Nuncius, o Istoria e Dimostrazione sulle Macchie Solari e loro Accidenti, de Galileo Galilei, e o Carteggio fra Cigoli e Galileo.

Creativity is increasingly seen as central to good learning and teaching throughout the curriculum. This book examines the political and educational context behind such developments and looks at dilemmas faced by trainee teachers as they begin their teaching practice. Demonstrating what creativity is, how it evolves and how it can be nurtured in various teaching contexts, it enables trainees to develop creativity in their teaching role and in their pupils′ learning. Throughout, the book links clearly to the new Professional Standards for QTS and presents exercises, subject-based case studies and teaching examples to engage and support all secondary trainees.
The essays in this book explore the critical possibilities that have been opened by Veena Das’s work. Taking off from her writing on pain as a call for acknowledgment, several essays explore how social sciences render pain, suffering, and the claims of the other as part of an ethics of responsibility. They search for disciplinary resources to contest the implicit division between those whose pain receives attention and those whose pain is seen as out of sync with the times and hence written out of the historical record. Another theme is the co-constitution of the event and the everyday, especially in the context of violence. Das’s groundbreaking formulation of the everyday provides a fra...
We live in a world of optical marvels - from the commonplace but beautiful rainbow, to the rare and eerie superior mirage. But how many of us really understand how a rainbow is formed, why the setting sun is red and flattened, or even why the sky at night is not absolutely black? This beautiful and informative guide provides clear explanations to all naturally occurring optical phenomena seen with the naked eye, including shadows, halos, water optics, mirages and a host of other spectacles. Separating myth from reality, it outlines the basic principles involved, and supports them with many figures and references. A wealth of rare and spectacular photographs, many in full color, illustrate the phenomena throughout. In this new edition of the highly-acclaimed guide to seeing, photographing and understanding nature's optical delights, the authors have added over 50 new images and provided new material on experiments you can try yourself.
