"Hoje foi duro... duro mesmo. Também ninguém me manda abusar. Nunca tinha corrido tanto na vida. (...) foi difícil! Mas feito! Amanhã é dia de descanso." Marco Serrabulho, professor, ativo, criativo e empreendedor, vê-se confrontado com uma realidade que lhe escapou do controlo: Parkinson. Aos 34 anos ser diagnosticado com uma doença de tal gabarito, daquelas que só "acontecem aos outros", foi como entrar num mundo paralelo, negando, escondendo, recusando a doença que se apoderara dele sem permissão. Na impossibilidade de poder continuar a negar a presença dura do Parkinson, Marco transformou essa força que o fazia resistir à aceitação da doença, pesquisando incessantemente o milagre para a cura da doença. Iniciou então um percurso conjugando alimentação, novos hábitos e desporto para se manter o mais saudável possível. Catorze anos se passaram e a luta de Marco continua, porque "enquanto correr, há esperança!".

THE STORY: Growing up in an impoverished family in the Bronx, Moss Hart dreamed of being part of the glamorous world of the theatre. Forced to drop out of school at age thirteen, Hart’s famous memoir Act One is a classic Hortatio Alger story that plots Hart’s unlikely collaboration with the legendary playwright George S. Kaufman. Tony Award-winning writer and director James Lapine has adapted Act One for the stage, creating a funny, heartbreaking, and suspenseful play that celebrates the making of a playwright and his play Once in a Lifetime. ACT ONE offers great fun to a director to utilize over fifty roles, which can be played by a cast as few as twelve, and in a production that can be done as simply or elaborately as desired.
Ethics in the field of archaeological research has become increasingly more complicated, particularly in response to the recent growth of contract archaeology. The past is not in fact "dead and buried," and ethical questions about this living record demand an ongoing discussion within the social and cultural groups who interpret this record. Authored largely by members of the Society for American Archaeology Ethics Committee, this up-to-date edited volume of original articles tackles issues such as the origins of and theory behind archaeological ethics, as well as archaeologists' responsibilities to the archaeological record, to diverse publics, to each other, and to their students. The book promises to fuel a critical debate among professionals and will be an important tool for training the next generation of archaeologists.
