Jundiaí na Macrometrópole Paulista

O livro aborda, sobre a ótica geográfica, a importância do município de Jundiaí localizado entre as duas principais Regiões Metropolitanas do Estado de São Paulo, Campinas e São Paulo. Jundiaí consolidou-se como um polo de desenvolvimento industrial diversificado e recentemente como polo de comércio e serviços, mais especificamente o setor de logística, que possibilitou ao município investimentos na área de infraestrutura urbana (saúde, educação, comércio e transporte), tornando-o referência tanto para os municípios vizinhos como para alguns municípios pertencentes às Regiões Metropolitanas de Campinas e São Paulo.

The Atlantic Forest

The Atlantic Forest

The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.

  • Publisher: Routledge

The Routledge Handbook on Informal Urbanization investigates the mutual relationship between the struggle for political inclusion and processes of informal urbanization in different socio-political and cultural settings. It seeks a middle ground between two opposing perspectives on the political meaning of urban informality. The first, the ‘emancipatory perspective’, frames urban informality as a practice that fosters autonomy, entrepreneurship and social mobility. The other perspective, more critical, sees informality predominantly as a result of political exclusion, inequality, and poverty. Do we see urban informality as a fertile breeding ground for bottom-up democracy and more politi...

Identidade étnica e territorialidade

Esta obra é produto da pesquisa de Doutorado desenvolvida no curso de Pós-graduação em Geografia da Universidade de Brasília. O objeto de análise é o quilombo Furnas do Dionísio localizado no município de Jaraguari, Mato Grosso do Sul. Os objetivos foram investigar o território quilombola e analisar a identidade e territorialidade do grupo étnico. O problema focou em checar se o território étnico, sobretudo a identidade e territorialidade das famílias quilombolas de Furnas do Dionísio estão em risco de supressão em decorrência da territorialização do modo de produção capitalista e das práticas agroindustriais no Mato Grosso do Sul. Afirme-se, contudo, que o território...

A presente obra é mais uma demonstração da capacidade e necessidade de adaptação da língua portuguesa a ecologias linguísticas distintas. Composta por 13 capítulos originais que versam sobre diversos aspetos do português falado na África atlântica – Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau e São Tomé e Príncipe – e no Brasil, com um papel central para a relevância do papel de contacto de línguas na reestruturação, variação e mudança linguísticas, dá-se, assim, continuidade ao crescente número de estudos que tem vindo a desbravar os recantos multifacetados da língua, acrescentando-lhe novos horizontes que põem a descoberto a sua dinâmica e vitalidade junto das comunida...

Em Vinhedo: das aldeias indígenas aos condomínios fechados, o autor, Rodrigo Paixão, remonta a construção desta cidade - um importante eixo no interior do estado de São Paulo -, a partir da antropologia, da história do Brasil, da geografia, da sociologia e da política, apontando o motivo pelo qual Vinhedo se tornou uma cidade contemporânea de condomínios fechados, desde a contribuição dos indígenas, dos escravos afriacanos até a imigração de trabalhadores europeus. O livro não privilegia o discurso dominante, mas antes, dá voz às maiorias oprimidas, apontando também jogos de poderes econômicos e políticos, praticados no passado e no presente, como preponderantes para o estabelecimento do modelo de planejamento e desenvolvimento local.

Sustainable Production Technology in Food

Sustainability is an essential part of our modern food production system. Carrying out food research that considers environmental, social, and economic factors, is a major objective for food producers and researchers. Strategic development and use of technology can greatly assist in the progression toward a more sustainable food system. Sustainable Production Technology in Food explores important scientific and practical aspects related to sustainable technologies used in all aspects of the food system. This book is organized into 13 chapters, that cover the main concepts related to sustainability and technology. Coverage includes current technology in the industry, technological developments to improve sustainability of food production (biopreservation, pulsed electric fields, high pressure processing, ultrasound, cold plasma, and nanotechnology), regulatory aspects, and future perspectives. - Presents a comprehensive discussion around the technological advances of sustainable food production - Addresses the current relationship between food production and sustainability - Focuses on how technology can impact the sustainability of the food production system

  • Publisher: UCL Press

The Origins of Self explores the role that selfhood plays in defining human society, and each human individual in that society. It considers the genetic and cultural origins of self, the role that self plays in socialisation and language, and the types of self we generate in our individual journeys to and through adulthood. Edwardes argues that other awareness is a relatively early evolutionary development, present throughout the primate clade and perhaps beyond, but self-awareness is a product of the sharing of social models, something only humans appear to do. The self of which we are aware is not something innate within us, it is a model of our self produced as a response to the models of us offered to us by other people. Edwardes proposes that human construction of selfhood involves seven different types of self. All but one of them are internally generated models, and the only non-model, the actual self, is completely hidden from conscious awareness. We rely on others to tell us about our self, and even to let us know we are a self.
