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 ...
The six-volume set LNCS 10404-10409 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2017, held in Trieste, Italy, in July 2017.

Indirect Translation Explained is the first comprehensive, user-friendly book on the practice of translating indirectly in today’s world.

In The Crown, the Court and the Casa da Índia, Susannah Humble Ferreira examines the social and political context that gave rise to the Portuguese Overseas Empire during the reigns of João II (1481-95) and Manuel I (1495-1521). In particular the book elucidates the role of the Portuguese royal household in the political consolidation of Portugal in this period. By looking at the relationship of the Manueline Reforms, the expulsion of the Jews and the creation of the Santa Casa da Misericordia to the political threat brought on by the expansion of Ferdinand of Aragon into the Mediterranean, the author re-evaluates the place of the overseas expansion in the policies of the Portuguese crown.
Cynthia disse a Anne que não levasse a filha Cora, a bebê de seis meses, para sua casa na noite do jantar para que ela e o marido Marco tinham sido convidados. Não era nada de pessoal. Ela simplesmente não suportava o choro de crianças. Marco não se opõe. Afinal, eles vivem no apartamento do lado. Têm consigo o intercomunicador e irão alternadamente, de meia em meia hora, ver como está a filha. Cora dormia da última vez que Anne a tinha ido ver. Mas, ao subir as escadas da casa em silêncio, ela depara-se com a imagem que sempre a aterrorizou. A menina desapareceu. Anne nunca tivera de chamar a polÌcia, antes disso. Mas agora eles estão lá, e quem sabe o que irão descobrir... Do que seremos capazes, quando levados além dos nossos limites?
Nesta obra discutimos a (des)adequação do regime da prova pericial ao nosso modelo de administração da justiça. Partindo de uma análise epistemológica, que nos levou a atribuir um caráter testemunhal à prova pericial e a criticar a atitude deferencial que crê que a confiabilidade do conhecimento produzido pelos peritos está garantida pela sua oficialidade, concluímos que o atual modelo de prova pericial não serve os propósitos da prova e não se coaduna com os princípios que justificam o exercício exclusivo da função jurisdicional pelos tribunais. Perante tal conclusão, desenvolvemos contributos para o aperfeiçoamento do regime deste meio de prova quanto à sua admissibilidade, produção e valoração, procurando devolver o exercício da função jurisdicional ao tribunal como caminho para uma reaproximação a um exercício adequado da administração da justiça.
