José Soares de Araújo. A grande decoração barroca em Diamantina, no século XVIII
José Soares de Araújo ( Braga 1723-Diamantina 1799) è stato un pittore portoghese che è vissuto e lavorato in Brasile, a quel tempo colonia portoghese. La società di allora era gerarchica, diseguale e piena di pregiudizi, dove la possibilità di un rapido arricchimento era rallentata dalla rigidità delle relazioni sociali basate sul colore della pelle e sull'origine sociale . In un ambiente più incerto e ostile di quello del Portogallo, la mancanza di controllo sociale esercitato dalla fede, dovuta dall'assenza di rappresentanti degli ordini religiosi di ogni ordine e grado, minacciava di far decadere lo status quo e di aprire le porte alla prevalenza delle religioni africane. Il pittore realizzò ad Arraial do Tijuco in Minas Gerais quadri di quadratura influenzati dal gesuita Andrea Pozzo aggiungendovi elementi prospettici, producendo insiemi eruditi che riverberavano i valori religiosi e politici della Corona portoghese nella colonia, rispondendo così all'esigenza di stabilire la supremazia religiosa cattolica.

Mulheres do Brasil: artes e artistas
Il lavoro nel campo della storia dell'arte è stato ampiamente definito da un referenziale europeo. Allo stesso modo, la prospettiva di genere pur avendo un'attenzione crescente è ancora insufficiente nelle recenti ricerche in quel campo. La ricerca femminista nella storia dell'arte ha cercato di rivalutare la produzione artistica delle donne in questa realtà di notevoli trasformazioni e molteplicità culturali e riscrivendo storie rese invisibili se non cancellate dalla tradizione canonica. L'invisibilità di queste manifestazioni artistiche costituisce infatti una lacuna che fortemente marca e segna l'esclusione delle donne, soprattutto di quelle che non si adattano allo stereotipo scelt...

Business for Society
This book is about promoting corporate responsibility in its original meaning: businesses should have a positive impact on society, and society should not only be a lever of making a profit.

Social Research Methods
Text accompanied by a companion web site.
Drug Utilization Research
Drug Utilization Research (DUR) is an eclectic scientific discipline, integrating descriptive and analytical methods for the quantification, understanding and evaluation of the processes of prescribing, dispensing and consumption of medicines and for the testing of interventions to enhance the quality of these processes. The discipline is closely related and linked mainly to the broader field of pharmacoepidemiology, but also to health outcomes research, pharmacovigilance and health economics. Drug Utilization Research is a unique, practical guide to the assessment and evaluation of prescribing practices and to interventions to improve the use of medicines in populations. Edited by an international expert team from the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE), DUR is the only title to cover both the methodology and applications of drug utilization research and covers areas such as health policy, specific populations, therapeutics and adherence.

Faith in a Seed
Faith in a Seed contains the hitherto unpublished work The Dispersion of Seeds, one of Henry D. Thoreau's last important research and writing projects, and now his first new book to appear in 125 years. With the remarkable clarity and grace that characterize all of his writings, Thoreau describes the ecological succession of plant species through seed dispersal. The Dispersion of Seeds, which draws on Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, refutes the then widely accepted theory that some plants spring spontaneously to life, independent of roots, cuttings, or seeds. As Thoreau wrote: "Though I do not believe a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. ...
