Emprego Militar do Espaço
O livro apresenta os conceitos básicos das operações espaciais e seus produtos para a defesa nacional, em que destacamos as comunicações por satélites, o sensoriamento remoto e os serviços de posicionamento e tempo. Todo o material apresentado no livro é ostensivo e foi estudado e aprofundado durante a realização do Curso de Coalisão Espacial, ministrado pelo National Security Space Institute (NSSI), em 2022, em Colorado Springs, Estados Unidos. É muito relevante compreendermos a importância da exploração espacial e como os estados/nações se posicionam em face desse novo ambiente.

Images of Cuba
"This book presents three essays on Cuba by Nobel prize winning author Gabriel Garcia Márquez. Here he describes the early days of the Cuban revolution and the impact of the US blockade of the island, first declared in February 1962, that remains in place with devastating effect to this day. The second essay relates the extraordinary and largely unknown episode of Cuba's role in Africa, when in 1975 the Cuban government sent troops to aid newly independent Angola resist an invasion by South Africa, an outstanding example of international solidarity that not only assisted Namibia gain its independence but ultimately helped to bring down the apartheid government in Pretoria. In the third essay, Garcia Marquez offers an intimate reflection on his longtime friend, Fidel Castro, describing him as "a man of austere ways and insatiable illusions, with an old-fashioned formal education, of cautious words and simple manners and incapable of conceiving any idea that is not out of the ordinary."--Page 4 of cover.

Leishmaniasis
Of all the parasitic diseases, leishmaniasis is one of the most diverse, with a variety of manifestations, from relatively minor cutaneous lesions to deadly visceral infections. It is also widespread, causing human disease in the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa. The environments in which this disease occurs range from desert to tropical jungle to urban habitats. Not surprisingly, the literature on this disease is written in a variety of languages including Portuguese, Arabic, English and French among others. This book provides a synopsis in English of much of the recent research on leishmaniasis, with a focus on the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of the disease as described by researchers around the world, but with a focus on the research from Brazil and the Middle East.

Bionanocomposites
Beginning with a general overview of nanocomposites, Bionanocomposites: Integrating Biological Processes for Bio-inspired Nanotechnologies details the systems available in nature (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids) that can be integrated within suitable inorganic matrices for specific applications. Describing the relationship between architecture, hierarchy and function, this book aims at pointing out how bio-systems can be key components of nanocomposites. The text then reviews the design principles, structures, functions and applications of bionanocomposites. It also includes a section presenting related technical methods to help readers identify and understand the most widely used analytical tools such as mass spectrometry, calorimetry, and impedance spectroscopy, among others.
Clandestine in Chile
In 1973, the film director Miguel Littín fled Chile after a U.S.-supported military coup toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. The new dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, instituted a reign of terror and turned Chile into a laboratory to test the poisonous prescriptions of the American economist Milton Friedman. In 1985, Littín returned to Chile disguised as a Uruguayan businessman. He was desperate to see the homeland he’d been exiled from for so many years; he also meant to pull off a very tricky stunt: with the help of three film crews from three different countries, each supposedly busy making a movie to promote tourism, he would secretly put to...

In his introduction, Christian Bason suggests that design may offer a fundamental reinvention of the art and craft of policy making for the twenty-first century. From challenging current problem spaces to driving the creative quest for new solutions and shaping the physical ...
