Cork oak has historically been an important species in the western Mediterranean—ecologically as a canopy or “framework” tree in natural woodlands, and culturally as an economically valuable resource that underpins local economies. Both the natural woodlands and the derived cultural systems are experiencing rapid change, and whether or not they are resilient enough to adapt to that change is an open question. Cork Oak Woodlands on the Edge provides a synthesis of the most up-to-date, scientific, and practical information on the management of cork oak woodlands and the cultural systems that depend on cork oak. In addition, Cork Oak Woodlands on the Edge offers ten site profiles written ...
immy Page is still recognized as one of the most influential guitarists of all time and one of the most important rock composers worldwide. And Page's relationship with Brazil is old: in addition to having starred in many meetings with national music stars, the Led Zeppelin guitarist spent seasons in Bahia and inaugurated Casa Jimmy to house homeless youth in the capital of Rio de Janeiro – which earns him the title of Honorary Citizen of Rio de Janeiro. This intense story is the theme of Jimmy Page in Brazil, a bilingual book (Portuguese / English) by journalist and musician Leandro Souto Maior. The book has a preface by Ed Motta, one of the greatest collectors and connoisseurs of Led Zeppelin's work in Brazil, and postscript by young guitarist Sebastião Reis, the son of musician Nando Reis, what confirms that the band has crossed generations. The layout and cover bear the signature of Tomás Paoni, the artistic director of the project. The cover photo is by Marcos Hermes, a great photographer in the Brazilian music market. The edition is signed by Chris Fuscaldo, director of Garota FM Books.
O inglês Jimmy Page ainda é reconhecido como um dos guitarristas mais influentes de todos os tempos e um dos mais importantes compositores do rock no mundo todo. E a relação de Page com o Brasil é antiga: além de ter protagonizado muitos encontros com estrelas da música nacional, o guitarrista do Led Zeppelin passou temporadas na Bahia e inaugurou a Casa Jimmy para abrigar jovens sem lar na capital fluminense – o que lhe rendeu o título de Cidadão Honorário do Rio de Janeiro. Essa história para lá de intensa é o tema de Jimmy Page no Brasil, livro bilíngue (Português / Inglês) do jornalista e músico Leandro Souto Maior. O livro tem prefácio de Ed Motta, um dos maiores colecionadores e conhecedores da obra do Led Zeppelin, e posfácio do jovem guitarrista Sebastião Reis, o filho de Nando Reis, confirmando que a banda atravessou gerações. A diagramação e a capa levam a assinatura de Tomás Paoni, diretor artístico do projeto. A foto da capa é de Marcos Hermes, grande fotógrafo do mercado da música. A edição é assinada por Chris Fuscaldo, diretora da Garota FM Books.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
