Aquatic ecology of the Mondego River basin global importance of local experience
Results from ecological studies of the Mondego river basin carried out during the last 15 years are gathered in this book. Following a comprehensive introduction on fundamental physicochemical aspects of the system, the communities structure and diversity, nutrient cycle and plant dynamics, both in freshwater and in the estuary, are addressed. Moreover, existing environmental monitoring, assesment, and management (e.g. ecological indicators and models ) are also approached. This book represents therefore an essencial source of information, indispensable for researchers, environmental managers, and decision makers that will have to deal with such a complex system.
Filhos De João
No século XVII, Hans Van Brant, descendente dos duques de Brabante, naturalizou-se português, tornando-se João Caldeira Brant, o patriarca de uma família numerosa que veio para o Brasil no início do ciclo do ouro. Seus descendentes se envolveram em conflitos relacionados à exploração das minas e, assim, participaram de forma efetiva na construção do Brasil. Esta família deu nomes importantes para a sociedade civil, religiosa e militar, como o marquês de Barbacena, o cônego Luiz Caldeira Valle, o vice-presidente José Maria Alkimim e o médico cirurgião plástico Ivo Pitanguy. Este livro conta histórias de uma linhagem que vem desde a idade média até os nossos dias. Fala do contexto social, político, econômico e religioso em que pessoas viveram e deram sua contribuição. Além disso, de forma clara, esta obra demonstra que pequenas atividades fazem a totalidade da História, e que todos devem contribuir da melhor forma possível no engrandecimento social por meio de ações honestas.
Daddy Grace
Charles Manuel “Sweet Daddy” Grace founded the United House of Prayer for All People in Wareham, Massachusetts, in 1919. This charismatic church has been regarded as one of the most extreme Pentecostal sects in the country. In addition to attention-getting maneuvers such as wearing purple suits with glitzy jewelry, purchasing high profile real estate, and conducting baptisms in city streets with a fire hose, the flamboyant Grace reputedly accepted massive donations from his poverty-stricken followers and used the money to live lavishly. It was assumed by many that Grace was the charismatic glue that held his church together, and that once he was gone the institution would disintegrate. I...
Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Experiments for the Laboratory Classroom
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
Methods to Study Litter Decomposition
The primary objective of this book is to provide students and laboratory instructors at universities and professional ecologists with a broad range of established methods to study plant litter decomposition. Detailed protocols for direct use in the field or laboratory are presented in an easy to follow step-by-step format. A short introduction to each protocol reviews the ecological significance and principles of the technique and points to key references.
Souto de Moura
"I look beyond solution; I look for an expression."--Eduardo Souto de Moura The architect Eduardo Souto de Moura (b. 1952) has won many accolades, including the 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize. Based in Porto, Souto de Moura studied under Fernando Távora and worked under fellow Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, with whom he continues to collaborate. Souto de Moura established his own practice in 1980, and his wide-ranging influences, including Mies van der Rohe and Donald Judd, can be seen in the stunning variety of his work, from his acclaimed private houses, to the striking Paula Rego Museum in Cascais and the Braga Municipal Stadium, to his work in historical contexts such as the Convento das Bernardas in Tavira. This beautifully illustrated retrospective provides the most comprehensive account of Souto de Moura's career to date. Drawings, notes and sketches from his archive, and newly commissioned photographs complement essays by scholars and prominent architects that trace Souto de Moura's career, contextualize his work within the larger trends of contemporary international architectural culture, and highlight the originality of his design strategy.
