Há muitos estudos e livros que, de modo isolado ou pouco integrado, fazem referência à relação entre pelve e pulmão. No aspecto pélvico, discutem sobre as funções pélvicas intrínsecas, como aquelas relacionadas ao assoalho pélvico e aos três compartimentos (anterior ou miccional, médio ou genital e posterior ou evacuatório), ou extrínsecas, como aquelas relacionadas ao arcabouço ósseo, à musculatura e às articulações. No aspecto do arcabouço ósseo e visceral toracopulmonar, discutem sobre a dinâmica ventilatória estabelecida pela função pulmonar e pela arquitetura torácica. Entretanto, literatura que integra e estabelece associações diretas ou indiretas em vár...
Before 1970, scientific research in swimming was poor and anecdotal, and the improvements of performance were linked firstly to the swimmer's experience and, secondly, as a result of permanent research for speed. Before and after the Second World War, scientific studies were conducted by pioneers and marked the beginning of research in stroke mechanics and swimming physiology exercise. This book reviews research on the body of knowledge available for the improvement of sports coaching and training practice in swimming, which seems to be relevant, numerous, and diversified enough to help swimming coaches bridge the gap between theory and practice.
A presente obra é fruto de longa e árdua pesquisa realizada pelos autores sobre os pioneiros que colonizaram o sudoeste do estado de Goiás e parte do estado de Mato Grosso, na metade do século XIX. Do estado de Minas Gerais, vieram para Goías os pioneiros José Manoel Vilela, José Antônio de Carvalho e Serafim José de Barros. De Franca, São Paulo, veio José Carvalho Bastos, juntando-se aos mineiros com o objetivo de criar gado nas pastagens naturais, ainda inexploradas, além do Rio Paranaíba. Um pouco mais tarde, chegou, também de Minas Gerais, outro pioneiro importante, que foi José Primo da Costa Lima. Posteriormente, filhos e netos desses pioneiros continuaram rumo ao oeste,...
When researchers want to study indigenous populations they are dependent upon the highly variable way in which states or territories enumerate, categorise and differentiate indigenous people. In this volume, anthropologists, historians, demographers and sociologists have come together for the first time to examine the historical and contemporary construct of indigenous people in a number of fascinating geographical contexts around the world, including Canada, the United States, Colombia, Russia, Scandinavia, the Balkans and Australia. Using historical and demographical evidence, the contributors explore the creation and validity of categories for enumerating indigenous populations, the use and misuse of ethnic markers, micro-demographic investigations, and demographic databases, and thereby show how the situation varies substantially between countries.
Indigenous people comprise only 0.2% of Brazil's population, yet occupy a prominent role in the nation's consciousness. In her important and passionate new book, anthropologist Alcida Ramos explains this irony, exploring Indian and non-Indian attitudes about interethnic relations. Ramos contends that imagery about indigenous people reflects an ambivalence Brazil has about itself as a nation, for Indians reveal Brazilians' contradiction between their pride in ethnic pluralism and desire for national homogeneity. Based on her more than thirty years of fieldwork and activism on behalf of the Yanomami Indians, Ramos explains the complex ideology called indigenism. She evaluates its meaning throu...
The massive grasslands of Brazil -- known as the cerrados -- which cover roughly a quarter of its land surface and are among the most threatened regions in South America, have received little media attention. This book brings together leading researchers on the area to produce the first detailed account in English of the natural history and ecology of the cerrado/savanna ecosystem. Given their extent and threatened status, the richness of their flora and fauna, and the lack of familiarity with their unique ecology at the international level, the cerrados are badly in need of this important and timely work.
