Illustration and Ornamentation in the Iberian Book World, 1450-1800
"In the early modern Iberian book world, as in the European book world more broadly, most works issuing from the presses contained some form of ornamentation. The nineteen contributions presented here cast light on these visual elements-on the production and ownership of printers' materials, and on the frequency with which these materials were exchanged and shared. A third of all items printed in the early modern Iberian world carried no imprint at all; for these items, woodblocks and engravings can assist scholars seeking to identify their place of origin or their date of publication. As importantly, decoration and illustration in early print can also reveal much about the history of the graphic arts and evolving forms of cultural representation"--
Modernity in Black and White
Modernity in Black and White provides a groundbreaking account of modern art and modernism in Brazil. Departing from previous accounts, mostly restricted to the elite arenas of literature, fine art and architecture, the book situates cultural debates within the wider currents of Brazilian life. From the rise of the first favelas, in the 1890s and 1900s, to the creation of samba and modern carnival, over the 1910s and 1920s, and tracking the expansion of mass media and graphic design, into the 1930s and 1940s, it foregrounds aspects of urban popular culture that have been systematically overlooked. Against this backdrop, Cardoso provides a radical re-reading of Antropofagia and other modernist currents, locating them within a broader field of cultural modernization. Combining extensive research with close readings of a range of visual cultural production, the volume brings to light a vast archive of art and images, all but unknown outside Brazil.

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.
Divining Slavery and Freedom
This book discusses African religion and its place in a slave society, using the story of Domingos Sodré as its backdrop.
Direito Policial
Esta obra, escrita exclusivamente por policiais, foi pensada buscando analisar empiricamente a atividade de investigação policial e atividade de inteligência, para além da teoria, ou seja, o quanto a prática se distancia do ideário normativo-policial em razão da complexidade social. É possível saber como vai iniciar uma investigação criminal, mas o “desenrolar” e o resultado vão depender de vários fatores e circunstâncias. A experiência, com os erros e acertos, em cada trabalho realizado teria o condão de aprimorar os próximos. Por isso a importância dos trabalhos acadêmicos apresentados nesta obra. Fica, portanto, o convite aos leitores para conhecer um pouco as experiências de alguns policiais brasileiros com a investigação criminal/inteligência policial, as dificuldades enfrentadas e as metodologias e ferramentas utilizadas.
Desafios e perspectivas da modernização das polícias civis na sociedade brasileira
Ultrapassamos três décadas de trajetória democrática desde a promulgação da Constituição de 1988. Esse período trouxe a efervescência de novas narrativas e ações políticas e culturais, além de novas práticas de cidadania, configurações de mercado e readequações institucionais em diversos órgãos e estruturas do poder público. No entanto, apesar do espírito renovador da Constituição de 1988, há indícios de que as polícias civis não passaram por um processo organizado e profundo de autocrítica que lhes permitisse uma evolução estrutural adequada às mudanças históricas desse período. Nesse sentido, quais seriam as bases para um plano efetivo de modernização ...
Horticultural Crops
Horticultural crops are important for human nutrition. To guarantee successful cultivation for quality and quantity yield, proper identification of pests and diseases, as well as abiotic factors undermining their production, is essential. This ten-chapter textbook describes fungi, bacteria, insects, and nematodes as important issues in horticulture. It documents their epidemiology and management strategies such as genetics and botanical and biological control used for their management. This comprehensive resource is essential for students and researchers of plant genetics, pathology, entomology, and nematology.
