The Admiral and the Ambassador

On July 20, 1792, the body of Admiral John Paul Jones, Father of the American Navy, was buried in the Saint LouisCemetery on the outskirts of Paris. As the French Revolution was gathering steam, the unmarked location of Jones's grave was nobody's primary concern. And though the admiral was not forgotten to history, in time he was certainly lost beneath the soil in the City of Light. Luckily, Jones had been sealed in a lead-lined coffin filled with alcohol to preserve the body. In theory, if somebody could locate that coffin, Jones could be returned to the United States for a proper burial. That somebody was Horace Porter, Civil War hero, aide to General (and later President) Ulysses S. Grant...

Artisanal Small-Scale Gold Mining

This framework document provides a pragmatic approach for designing representative studies and developing uniform sampling guidelines to support estimates of morbidity that are explicitly linked to exposure to land-based contaminants from small-scale artisanal gold mining activities. A primary goal is to support environmental burden of disease evaluations, which attempt to attribute health outcomes to specific sources of pollution. The guidelines provide recommendations on the most appropriate and cost-effective sampling and analysis methods to ensure the collection of representative population-level data, sample size recommendations for each contaminant and environmental media, biological s...

Os pequenos e saborosos contos deste livro são retratos do que se passa nos fóruns e delegacias criminais do nosso país. Com um estilo simples e sutil, o autor; escritor e advogado criminalista; cria histórias que, apesar de seu realismo, remetem inevitavelmente ao universo kafkiano e seu eterno confronto com a Justiça. "São treze fragmentos, redigidos como peças de teatro, mas inaugurando um gênero novo, entre a ficção, o teatro e a reportagem." (Arthur Nestrovski, Folha de S. Paulo)
