Tendo em vista que a Amazônia sempre foi uma região estratégica para o Estado brasileiro, desde o último quartel do século XX foi inserida na agenda de segurança internacional com a alegação do aumento das preocupações dos países centrais quanto às mudanças climáticas globais. A tarefa de pensar o espaço amazônico numa perspectiva geopolítica tornou-se algo mais complexo e polêmico. De um lado, uma aliança de interesses entre países e grupos não governamentais em torno da defesa da Amazônia Indígena e da preservação das florestas, mas que paradoxalmente mantém intactos os interesses das grandes corporações de exploração mineral, muitas delas financiadas por Esta...

Gait Analysis: An Introduction focuses on the systematic study of human walking and its contributions in the medical management of diseases affecting the locomotor system. The book first covers normal gait and pathological gait. Discussions focus on common pathologies affecting gait, amputee gait, walking aids, particular gait abnormalities, gait in the elderly and the young, moments of force, energy consumption, gait cycle, muscular activity during gait, and optimization of energy usage. The manuscript then elaborates on the methods of gait analysis, including visual gait analysis, general gait parameters, timing the gait cycle, direct motion measurement systems, electrogoniometers, electromyography, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and force platforms. The publication tackles the applications of gait analysis, as well as clinical gait and scientific gait analysis, normal ranges for gait parameters, conversions between measurement units, and computer program for general gait parameters. The manuscript is a valuable source of data for students of physical therapy, bioengineering, orthopedics, rheumatology, neurology, and rehabilitation.

Die Monographie leistet am Beispiel der Iberischen Halbinsel einen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Herrschaftsausubung Roms in den Provinzen. Sie konzentriert sich damit auf eine Region, in der Mechanismen romischer Herrschaftspraxis vom ausgehenden 3. Jh. v. bis zur arabischen Eroberung im fruhen 8. Jh. n. Chr. zu fassen sind. Archaologische Stadtforschung und epigraphische Funde in bisher nicht bekanntem Ausmasse machen es erstmals moglich, die Geschichten der drei Provinzhauptstadte im Fokus zweier ihrer Konstituenten zu schreiben - des Stadtbildes und der Elite. Die Studie beschreibt die archaologisch-urbanistische wie sozialhistorische Entwicklung der Stadte, analysiert sie vergleichend als ...
'Kissinger's absorbing book tackles head-on some of the toughest questions of our time . . . Its pages sparkle with insight' Simon Schama in the NEW YORKER Spanning more than three centuries, from Cardinal Richelieu to the fragility of the 'New World Order', DIPLOMACY is the now-classic history of international relations by the former Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Kissinger's intimate portraits of world leaders, many from personal experience, provide the reader with a unique insight into what really goes on -- and why -- behind the closed doors of the corridors of power. 'Budding diplomats and politicians should read it as avidly as their predecessors read Machiavelli' Douglas Hurd in the DAILY TELEGRAPH 'If you want to pay someone a compliment, give them Henry Kissinger's DIPLOMACY ... It is certainly one of the best, and most enjoyable [books] on international relations past and present ... DIPLOMACY should be read for the sheer historical sweep, the characterisations, the story-telling, the ability to look at large parts of the world as a whole' Malcolm Rutherford in the FINANCIAL TIMES
El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer un catálogo de toda la información epigráfica latina producida en Hispania durante época república, entre el s. III a.e. hasta el año 31 a.e. que marca el comienzo efectivo del reinado de Augusto. El autor ha optado por incluir todos los epígrafes latinos realizados en Hispania, no sólo las inscripciones grabadas sobre piedra o metal, también aquellas confeccionadas de forma mecánica mediante moldes o sellos. Otro aspecto a destacar ha sido la contextualización de los documentos, tanto en su contexto histórico-cultural inmediato, como dentro del panorama epigráfico peninsular, que es el objetivo de los comentarios que acompañan a cada una de la piezas. Esta obra es particularmente valiosa por las precisiones tipológicas que preceden al catálogo. Las primeras contextualizan el corpus y recogen notables conclusiones sobre el proceso de romanización peninsular.
