Nas cartas a seguir, o livro descortina remetentes e seus destinatários. MENSAGEM PARA VOCÊ presta homenagem a esses relatos pessoais de forma significativa e memorável. Serão lembrados por muito tempo por estarem revelados e gravados em cada página deste livro. A Lura, ao retomar a tradição da conversa à distância, busca dar aos escritores a oportunidade de conservar suas lembranças em memórias materializadas. "Considero minhas obras como cartas que escrevi à posteridade sem esperar resposta." HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS "Cartas de amor são escritas não para dar notícias, não para contar nada, mas para que mãos separadas se toquem ao tocarem a mesma folha de papel." RUBEM ALVES "Assim como as chaves abrem cofres, as cartas abrem corações." JAMES HOWELL "Por que não escreveste nunca? Não é de te ler que mais tenho saudade. É o som da faca rasgando o envelope que trazia a tua carta. E sentir, de novo, uma carícia na alma, como se algures estivessem golpeando um cordão umbilical." MIA COUTO

Sentences may pertain to states or processes or events. They may express duration, frequency, habituality, and many other forms of temporality. How do they do this? It is the aspectual properties of sentences in natural languages which allow the user to express a temporal structure, and Henk Verkuyl presents a unified formal system to account for them. He explains aspectuality in terms of the opposition between terminative aspect and durative aspect, and describes the way in which terminative aspect is compositionally formed on the basis of semantic information expressed by different syntactic elements, in particular the verb and its arguments. The aim is to determine which semantic conditions make a sentence terminative; but at least ten different forms of durative aspectuality are also treated. All are drawn into a theory which can account for both terminative and durative aspectuality together. A Theory of Aspectuality draws together into a coherent whole the author's thinking on the subject over the last twenty years, and will interest all those working on aspect and the semantics of noun phrases. It promises to be a major new contribution to our understanding of the subject.
Medical knowledge about blood, its use in transfusions, and blood products has grown exponentially, as well as awareness about its safety, risks and costs. In a discipline where risks are proportional to benefits, medical specialists involved in open heart surgery need to have the latest information to make informed decisions. Dr. Attar's work reflects the contributors' direct interest and experience in blood and cardiac surgery introducing the latest information on blood and its use, hemostasis, blood conservation techniques and safety, the risks involved, alternatives to blood transfusions, the diagnosis and therapy of coagulopathy associated with cardiac surgery, and medicolegal aspects. ...
The last five years have witnessed an increasing interest in the subject of transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) as illustrated by the number of abstracts presented at the meetings of the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology (Figure). The ideas and concepts associated with this particular method of myocardial revascularization have changed dramatically over even this short period of time. The original premise of "de-evolving" mammalian hearts to recreate a reptilian-like myocardial circulation by making multiple channels through the myocardium has been almost (but perhaps not quite) completely dismissed. Now, the most popular notion is that there is an a...
