Emerging Contaminants presents the reader with information on classification, recent studies, and adverse effects on the environment and human health of the main classes of contaminants.

This book is organized into four sections that cover the classification of contaminants and the instrumental techniques used to quantify them, recent studies on pesticides, antibiotics as an important group of emerging contaminants, and studies of different classes of emerging contaminants such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), microplastics, and others.
Pensamento Feminista Brasileiro: Formação e contexto
Os anos 1970, período que podemos identificar como o de formação das teorias feministas no Brasil, foi também o ponto de ebulição dos movimentos feministas no mundo.

Não é estranho notar, portanto, que em boa parte dos textos reunidos nesta edição ¬– de dezenove autoras –, a conjuntura política brasileira não se apresente apenas com...

Imagina(rios) nas artes visuais
O livro Imagina(rios) nas Artes Visuais faz uma alusão aos rios de imagens que produzimos nas aulas do Programa Associado de Pós-Graduação em Artes Visuais das Universidades Federais de Pernambuco e da Paraíba (PPGAV/UFPE/UFPB) no contexto de pesquisa e de formação de pesquisadoras/es em Artes Visuais, no qual a imagem é valorizada e colocada no centro do conhecimento da nossa área. Toda nossa produção, seja acadêmica ou artística, tem início no mergulho nas imagens, como bem diz o filósofo da fenomenologia da imaginação Gaston Bachelard. Baseadas nas concepções de imagens compreendidas nas Artes Visuais, organizamos esta coletânea de textos produzidos com os conhecimento...
