Dilemas da sociedade brasileira contemporânea
Esta coletânea é uma publicação derivada do I Seminário Inter-nacional de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Sociais da UNESP de Marília ocorrido em 2015. O evento foi um projeto idealizado pelo corpo discente do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Sociais da Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”, campus de Marília-SP. “Brasil Contemporâneo: perspectivas e desafios” foi a temática que norteou o evento. Sua construção e seleção se deu em virtude aos acontecimentos registrados no meio social desde junho de 2013, sobretudo, as mobilizações e manifestações organizadas nas cidades de grande e médio porte no Brasil, assim como a organização e divulg...
Contestando as fronteiras de gênero, raça e sexualidade na sociedade brasileira
Geralmente, a sociedade desigual brasileira é considerada racista, classista, homofóbica, machista e sexista, ou melhor, heterossexista. Estes predicados sociais, além de outros que podem ser citados, são frequentemente confirmados pelos altos índices de violência que se reproduzem cotidianamente nos mais diversos espaços de sociabilidade e vitimizam determinados corpos banidos historicamente para a inferiorização, coisificação ou para o status de semi-humanidade. Em especial, corpos pretos, trabalhadore(a)s pobres e dissidentes da heteronormatividade parecem (re) existir em um cenário que regularmente precariza as condições materiais de suas persistências. Este livro fala de ...
Edible Medicinal and Non Medicinal Plants
Volume 9 is part of a multicompendium Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Plants, on plants with edible modified stems, roots and bulbs from Acanthaceae to Zygophyllaceae (tabular) and 32 selected species in Alismataceae, Amaryllidaceae, Apiaceae, Araceae, Araliaceae, Asparagaceae, Asteraceae, Basellaceae, Brassicaceae and Campanulaceae in detail. This work is of significant interest to medical practitioners, pharmacologists, ethnobotanists, horticulturists, food nutritionists, botanists, agriculturists, conservationists, and general public. Topics covered include: taxonomy; common/ vernacular names; origin/ distribution; agroecology; edible plant parts/uses; botany; nutritive/medicinal properties, nonedible uses and selected references.
Bitter Roots
For over a century, plant specialists worldwide have sought to transform healing plants in African countries into pharmaceuticals. And for equally as long, conflicts over these medicinal plants have endured, from stolen recipes and toxic tonics to unfulfilled promises of laboratory equipment and usurped personal patents. In Bitter Roots, Abena Dove Osseo-Asare draws on publicly available records and extensive interviews with scientists and healers in Ghana, Madagascar, and South Africa to interpret how African scientists and healers, rural communities, and drug companies—including Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Unilever—have sought since the 1880s to develop drugs from Africa’s medi...
Tapping the Green Market
There is a rapidly growing interest in, and demand for, non-timber forest products (NTFPs). They provide critical resources across the globe fulfilling nutritional, medicinal, financial and cultural needs. However, they have been largely overlooked in mainstream conservation and forestry politics. This volume explains the use and importance of certification and eco-labelling for guaranteeing best management practices of non-timber forest products in the field. Using extensive case studies and global profiles of non-timber forest products, this work not only seeks to further our comprehension of certification processes but also broaden understanding of non-timber forest product management, harvesting and marketing. It should be useful to forest managers, policy-makers and conservation organizations as well as for academics in these areas.
Freshwater Biodiversity
Fresh waters are disproportionately rich in species, and represent global hotspots of biodiversity. However, they are also hotspots of endangerment.

Sound States
By investigating the relationship between acoustical technologies and twentieth-century experimental poetics, this collection, with an accompanying compact disc, aims to 'turn up the volume' on printed works and rethink the way we read, hear, and talk about literary texts composed after telephones, phonographs, radios, loudspeakers, microphones, and tape recorders became facts of everyday life. The collection's twelve essays focus on earplay in texts by James Joyce, Ezra Pound, H.D., Samuel Beckett, William Burroughs, Amiri Baraka, Bob Kaufman, Robert Duncan, and Kamau Brathwaite and in performances by John Cage, Caribbean DJ-poets, and Cecil Taylor. From the early twentieth-century soundscapes of Futurist and Dadaist 'sonosphers' to Henri Chopin's electroacoustical audio-poames, the authors argue, these states of sound make bold but wavering statements--statements held only partially in check by meaning. The contributors are Loretta Collins, James A. Connor, Michael Davidson, N. Katherine Hayles, Nathaniel Mackey, Steve McCaffery, Alec McHoul, Toby Miller, Adalaide Morris, Fred Moten, Marjorie Perloff, Jed Rasula, and Garrett Stewart.
