Thinking Like a Parrot
From two experts on wild parrot cognition, a close look at the intelligence, social behavior, and conservation of these widely threatened birds. People form enduring emotional bonds with other animal species, such as dogs, cats, and horses. For the most part, these are domesticated animals, with one notable exception: many people form close and supportive relationships with parrots, even though these amusing and curious birds remain thoroughly wild creatures. What enables this unique group of animals to form social bonds with people, and what does this mean for their survival? In Thinking like a Parrot, Alan B. Bond and Judy Diamond look beyond much of the standard work on captive parrots to...

Biocommunication of Archaea
Archaea represent a third domain of life with unique properties not found in the other domains. Archaea actively compete for environmental resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between ‘self’ and ‘non-self’. They process and evaluate available information and then modify their behaviour accordingly. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for particular goals, and then realize the optimum variant. These highly diverse competences show us that this is possible owing to sign(aling)- mediated communication processes within archaeal cells (intra-organismic), between the same, related and different archaeal species (interorganismic), and betwee...
A EFETIVIDADE DA MEDIAÇÃO PARA ALÉM DA TEORIA...
APRESENTAÇÃO A Modernidade realmente tem uma capacidade criacionista muito grande. Mas, no mesmo sentido e com a mesma intensidade, tem um condão provisório que não sustenta a rapidez das inovações surgidas. Por isso, os conceitos e as ideias se tornam cada vez mais líquidas e fluidas, carecendo de materialização eminente. Dentro dessa perspectiva se insere a Mediação de Conflitos. Expressão tão cara nos últimos anos, mas tão vazia de credibilidade em sua existência. Falar sobre o assunto é fácil, mas viver esta realidade e opção é um caminho desafiador e que poucos têm aderido. Torna-se difícil falar que se acredita no procedimento quando a pessoa não o vive na prá...
Shifting the Meaning of Democracy
This book offers a historical analysis of one of the most striking and dramatic transformations to take place in Brazil and the United States during the twentieth century—the redefinition of the concepts of nation and democracy in racial terms. The multilateral political debates that occurred between 1930 and 1945 pushed and pulled both states towards more racially inclusive political ideals and nationalisms. Both countries utilized cultural production to transmit these racial political messages. At times working collaboratively, Brazilian and U.S. officials deployed the concept of “racial democracy” as a national security strategy, one meant to suppress the existential threats perceived to be posed by World War II and by the political agendas of communists, fascists, and blacks. Consequently, official racial democracy was limited in its ability to address racial inequities in the United States and Brazil. Shifting the Meaning of Democracy helps to explain the historical roots of a contemporary phenomenon: the coexistence of widespread antiracist ideals with enduring racial inequality.
