Nourishing Life
In this accessible ethnography of a small town in northern Mozambique, everyday cultural knowledge and behaviors about food, cooking, and eating reveal the deeply human pursuit of a nourishing life. This emerges less through the consumption of specific nutrients than it does in the affective experience of alimentation in contexts that support vitality, compassion, and generative relations. Embedded within central themes in the study of Africa south of the Sahara, the volume combines insights from philosophy and food studies to find textured layers of meaning in a seemingly simple cuisine.
Parábolas de Jesus
Mostrar em termos práticos os princípios que se deseja incutir em alguém, em um grupo de pessoas ou numa multidão. Isso é comum a toda a humanidade e, provavelmente, passou a existir desde o primeiro momento em que um pai tentou ensinar um valor, um sentimento, uma postura a um filho. E esse “mostrar” ao qual me refiro pode ser entendido e praticado das mais diferentes formas: com exemplos concretos, histórias alegóricas ou até indo diretamente ao ponto, dizendo, por exemplo, algo do tipo: “Você deve evitar a vaidade, pois quando achar que sabe ou pode tudo, passa a não aprender mais nada e, consequentemente, deixa de ser tão bom”. Esse exemplo que dei não foi à toa. Ele...
The Organic Chemistry of Sugars
Intrigued as much by its complex nature as by its outsider status in traditional organic chemistry, the editors of The Organic Chemistry of Sugars compile a groundbreaking resource in carbohydrate chemistry that illustrates the ease at which sugars can be manipulated in a variety of organic reactions. Each chapter contains numerous examples demonst
Cancer Nanotheranostics: What Have We Learned So Far?
After a quarter of century of rapid technological advances, research has revealed the complexity of cancer, a disease intimately related to the dynamic transformation of the genome. However, the full understanding of the molecular onset of this disease is still far from achieved and the search for mechanisms of treatment will follow closely. It is here that Nanotechnology enters the fray offering a wealth of tools to diagnose and treat cancer. In fact, the National Cancer Institute predicts that over the next years, nanotechnology will result in important advances in early detection, molecular imaging, targeted and multifunctional therapeutics, prevention and control of cancer. Nanotechnolog...
Organoselenium Chemistry
Selenium-based methods in synthetic chemistry have developed rapidly over the past years and are now offering highly useful tools for organic synthesis. Filling the gap for a comprehensive handbook and ready reference, this book covers all modern developments within the field, including biochemical aspects. The chemistry chapters are organized according to the different reactivities of various selenium compounds and reagents, with each chapter dealing with a special reaction type. Also includes a table with 77Se NMR shifts to aid in practical problems. From the Contents: * Electrophilic and Nucleophilic Selenium * Selenium Compounds in Radical Reactions * Selenium-Stabilized Carbanions * Selenium Compounds with Valency Higher than Two * Selenocarbonyls * Selenoxide Elimination and [2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangement * Selenium Compounds as Ligands and Catalysts * Biological and Biochemical Aspects of Selenium Compounds
