This book provides a challenging and stimulating introduction to the contemporary topics of complexity and criticality, and explores their common basis of scale invariance, a central unifying theme of the book.Criticality refers to the behaviour of extended systems at a phase transition where scale invariance prevails. The many constituent microscopic parts bring about macroscopic phenomena that cannot be understood by considering a single part alone. The phenomenology of phase transitions is introduced by considering percolation, a simple model with a purely geometrical phase transition, thus enabling the reader to become intuitively familiar with concepts such as scale invariance and renor...

Há cinquenta anos, em setembro de 1968, quando Marcello Caetano substituiu António Oliveira Salazar, o programa de governo escorava-se em políticas de desenvolvimento económico, na liberalização económica regulada e num forte programa de investimento público e privado permitido pelas exportações, investimento e remessas dos emigrantes. Foram lançados vários projetos industriais como a criação de um polo em Sines, três novas fábricas de cerveja, quatro novas empresas de celulose, duas novas fábricas de cimento; bem como a construção da barragem do Alqueva, do novo aeroporto de Lisboa e de uma rede de quase 400 quilómetros de auto-estradas.

Can an Animal Commit a Crime? This pioneering work collects an amazing assemblage of court cases in which animals have been named as defendants--chickens, rats, field mice, bees, gnats, and (in 34 recorded instances) pigs, among others-- providing insight into such modern issues as animal rights, capital punishment, and social and criminal theory. Evans suggests an intriguing distinction between trials of specific animals or particular crimes, such as the "murder" of an infant by a pig, and trials for larger, catastrophic events, such as plagues and infestations. In the latter case, Evans suggests a parallel to witchcraft. Edward Payson Evans [1831-1917], a historian, linguist and associate of Ralph Waldo Emerson, taught at the University of Michigan before moving to Germany, where he became a specialist in Oriental languages and German literature. A prolific author, his other Animal-related books are Animal Symbolism in Art and Literature and Animal Symbolism in Ecclesiastical Architecture, both published in 1887. CONTENTS Introduction 1.
