Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly appreciated as down-stream effectors of cellular damage and dysfunction under natural and anthropogenic stress scenarios in aquatic systems. This comprehensive volume describes oxidative stress phenomena in different climatic zones and groups of organisms, taking into account specific habitat conditions and how they affect susceptibility to ROS damage. A comprehensive and detailed methods section is included which supplies complete protocols for analyzing ROS production, oxidative damage, and antioxidant systems. Methods are also evaluated with respect to applicability and constraints for different types of research. The authors are all internationally recognized experts in particular fields of oxidative stress research. This comprehensive reference volume is essential for students, researchers, and technicians in the field of ROS research, and also contains information useful for veterinarians, environmental health professionals, and decision makers.
This book presents Brazil as a country of continental dimensions. Its territory has a large variety of rock types, geological structures and climates. The country has a large variety of landscapes, such as the humid plains of the Amazon River, the dry plateaus of the semi-arid region or the subtropical mountains of the southern region. On the coast, some plateaus and mountains, like the Serra do Mar Mountain range, formed a significant barrier front to access the hinterland of Brazil. On the other side of these coastal plateaus and mountains, there is a large collection of other plateaus, mountains, plains and depressions little altered by human interference. Thus, Brazil has a unique variety of different landscapes and extraordinary geomorphological sites. The book invites readers to learn more about the beautiful Brazilian landscapes, their complexity and vastness.

"This report documents how illegal logging by criminal networks and resulting forest fires are connected to acts of violence and intimidation against forest defenders and the state's failure to investigate and prosecute these crimes."--Publisher website, viewed September 27, 2019.
Este livro é um vento quentinho de memória da vida de um homem que amou. Sua incansável luta para sustentar a família num Brasil rural da década de 1940 evidencia a luta de muitos brasileiros do século passado. Joaquim nasceu em 1917, em Minas Gerais. Caipira, envolvia-se no que sabia – e no que tinha vontade de saber – a fim de ajudar os outros. Um “Pedro Malazartes” da vida real sem dúvida. Deixou um legado de fé, coragem e amor pela família. Ao lado de Benedita, criou seus 7 filhos na lida da roça, migrando para São Paulo da década de 1960. Esses contos são uma compilação de seus filhos que eternizaram as histórias contando-as aos netos. A organização foi feita pela neta Adriana e as ilustrações pelo neto Denilson. Sente-se numa cadeira confortável e acompanhe a leitura como se fosse sua avó ou avô contando as aventuras de sua infância enquanto afaga seus cabelos.
