This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
This handbook is structured in two parts: it provides, on the one hand, a comprehensive (synchronic) overview of the phonetics and phonology (including prosody) of a breadth of Romance languages and focuses, on the other hand, on central topics of research in Romance segmental and suprasegmental phonology, including comparative and diachronic perspectives. Phonetics and phonology have always been a core discipline in Romance linguistics: the wide synchronic variety of languages and dialects derived from spoken Latin is extensively explored in numerous corpus and atlas projects, and for quite a few of these varieties there is also more or less ample documentation of at least some of their diachronic stages. This rich empirical database offers excellent testing grounds for different theoretical approaches and allows for substantial insights into phonological structuring as well as into (incipient, ongoing, or concluded) processes of phonological change. The volume can be read both as a state-of-the-art report of research in the field and as a manual of Romance languages with special emphasis on the key topics of phonetics and phonology.
Neste livro, fruto de uma pesquisa de doutorado, Thiago de Faria e Silva esmiúça o universo da produção audiovisual escolar de maneira profunda, detalhada e deliciosamente dinâmica. Ele apresenta o universo escolar por meio das imagens em movimentos, cujas referências, se assistidas pelo leitor, podem tornar-se uma experiência viva de leitura e visualizações das diversidades que compõem nossas escolas. Além de legitimar tal produção como fonte para estudos da cultura escolar, este livro traz tamanha acurácia teórica que é possível aprender sobre audiovisuais e, principalmente, sobre documentários, uma vez que o autor constrói uma classificação brilhante dos audiovisuais escolares pautada em referenciais teóricos renomados. Seu trabalho deve ser uma referência para pensar as possibilidades da produção audiovisual no espaço escolar e uma inspiração para futuras pesquisas que possam atualizar e debater com esta.
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology
Patrick Courrier é membro do ICE (Inteligência da Comunidade Europeia), sediada em Bruxelas, que realiza um investigação nos bastidores do futebol brasileiro. Ele é francês, porém filho biológico de um influente chefe político do nordeste brasileiro, fruto de uma relação extra-conjugal vivida por sua mãe, casada com um diplomata que criou a Aliança Francesa na cidade de João Pessoa, na Paraíba. O agente Francês vive também uma paixã com a esposa de um jovem e importante político. Em suas investigações ele descobre fatos estarrecedores nos bastidores do futebol, como o envolvimento de torcidas organizadas e dirigentes, com o tráfico de drogas e outras atividades criminosas, que influenciam até a disputa de Copas do Mundo. Nos bastidores de Brasília, ele descobre a existência de uma relação forte de entidades esportivas nas campanhas eleitorais.

This book offers a comparative study of state strategies in relation to urban redevelopment projects associated with sports mega-events in Brazil, South Africa and the United Kingdom. It examines urban governance strategies employed to dispossess working-class communities of their land and counteract the subsequent emergence of discontent in various national contexts, offering an intricate analysis of the mechanisms of class dominance operating across diverse regions of the globe. This is based on the application of Gramscian theory concerning the capitalist state and its fluid interplay between coercion and consent. Juxtaposing historical trajectories in the execution of redevelopment initi...

O livro traz um estudo, em perspectiva comparada, da tuberculose e da Aids no Brasil, nas primeiras e últimas décadas do século XX. Resgatando a análise de ensaios anteriores sobre a tuberculose na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a autora constata a existência de analogias evidentes em relação à Aids tanto do ponto de vista do conhecimento científico e das ações institucionais quanto das construções sociais.
