This unique volume attempts to answer one of mankind's oldest puzzles -- why the moon appears to be larger and closer on the horizon than when it is high in the sky. Over the centuries, many viable solutions have been proposed for this psychological phenomenon. The Moon Illusion presents papers by major theorists striving to explain the illusion and providing commentaries on the works of others. Research on the moon illusion has been scattered throughout journals in many disciplines including philosophy, physiology, physics, and psychology. As the first publication to present a comprehensive treatment of the problem, this book is of vital interest to professionals whose major concern is visual perception, experimental psychology, or the neurosciences. Of additional interest to those whose focus is physics or astronomy.

Há mais de duzentos anos, acontecia um fato inédito na história mundial: uma colônia se transformou em império. O Brasil passou a ser a sede da Coroa Portuguesa. Havia apenas três bancos emissores no mundo - na Suécia, na França e na Inglaterra, quando o príncipe D. João, recém-chegado ao Brasil, obrigado a deixar repentinamente Portugal, invadido pelas tropas de Napoleão, decidiu criar o Banco do Brasil. Foi criado o primeiro Banco do Brasil, sendo igualmente o primeiro banco em território do Império Português, por Alvará de 12 de outubro de 1808, pelo então Príncipe-regente Dom João de Bragança (futuro Rei Dom João VI, de Portugal), por sugestão do Conde de Linhares, ...

The first – and long-awaited – major biography of Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva Lula is among the greatest political figures in Brazilian history. The only president in the country with a working-class background, combined with a party that was profoundly original in its roots, he exercised charismatic power and influence in a more lasting way than any other public figure in the republican period. Since 2011, Fernando Morais, one of Brazil's leading writers, has gained direct, frank and frequent access to Lula. To these dozens of hours of testimonies, he has added a reporter's flair and captivating prose to compose a biography that paints a picture in all its grandeur and complexity. In a narrative that makes use of flashforwards and flashbacks to maintain an electrifying pace, Morais goes from Lula's childhood to the annulment of his convictions, in 2021, passing through the new unionism, the ABC strikes, the foundation of the PT and the first election campaign.
