Green Design, Materials and Manufacturing Processes
The rise of manufacturing intelligence is fuelling innovation in processes and products concerning a low environmental impact over the product’s lifecycle. Sustainable intelligent manufacturing is regarded as a manufacturing paradigm for the 21st century, in the move towards the next generation of manufacturing and processing technologies. The manufacturing industry has reached a turning point in its evolution and new business opportunities are emerging. With sustainable development arises the immense challenge of combining innovative ideas regarding design, materials and products with non-polluting processes and technologies, conserving energy and other natural resources. On the other han...
Migration, Trade, and Slavery in an Expanding World
The twelve essays explore three connected aspects of European expansion in the period between 1500 and 1900 - migration, trade, and slavery - with some attention given to present-day echoes from that era. The book's first section deals with European migration to transatlantic and Asian destinations, the second and third sections focus on the Atlantic slave trade and representations of slavery, and the final section analyzes the demise and legacy of slavery. The authors reach surprising conclusions: European expansion did not entail major economic benefits; the small scale of the Europeans' intercontinental migration never jeopardized their colonial projects; and the unique popular nature of British abolitionism can be explained in part by the growth of the newspaper press in the mid-eighteenth century, which regularly reported about slave ship revolts.
Forasteiros
Rodrigo Barneschi simplesmente não concebe o futebol sem a presença do torcedor visitante. Para ele, frequentador assíduo das arquibancadas, tanto o abnegado que viaja para seguir o clube do coração como o fanático que cruza a própria cidade para ficar rouco em um setor isolado do estádio rival são protagonistas de um espetáculo que, despojado do forasteiro, perde grande parte de seu sentido. Em sua estreia como escritor, o autor nos guia por diferentes estádios do Brasil e da América do Sul, em uma cruzada por campos decadentes, fartos de obstáculos e transtornos aos visitantes que tentam acompanhar seus times nos jogos fora de casa. Com um relato que mistura crônica, diário de viagens e jornalismo -- e permeado por forte crítica social --, Barneschi reivindica em "Forasteiros" o direito ao torcer. Dele e de qualquer torcedor disposto a ir ao estádio do adversário para encarar sua missão: a de assumir o protagonismo de um espaço que lhe pertence.

Sustainable Policies and Practices in Energy, Environment and Health Research
This book aims to give a contribution to a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the cross-cutting issues on energy, environment and health research topics in the current world scenario, where nations all over the world are struggling to accomplish the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and to ensure sustainable patterns for all. This interdisciplinary implies a commitment between all fields of science, working together to provide knowledge that could result in the promotion of quality of life. At the present, it is evident that not all people benefit from sustainable policies and practices and the communication between health, energy, environmental and social p...

Handbook of Research on Information Management for Effective Logistics and Supply Chains
Evaluating the role of logistics and supply chain management skills or applications is necessary for the success of any organization or business. As market competition becomes more aggressive, it is crucial to evaluate ways in which a business can maintain a strategic edge over competitors. The Handbook of Research on Information Management for Effective Logistics and Supply Chains highlights strategies, tools, and skills necessary for supply management within organizations and companies. Featuring best practices and empirical research within the field, this handbook is a critical reference source for scholars, practitioners, researchers, information systems and telecommunication specialists, and managers.
Across The Green Sea
Beginning in the mid-fifteenth century, the regions bordering the western Indian Ocean – 'the green sea,' as it was known to Arabic speakers – underwent vast transformation. An era of commercial and cultural exchange blossomed between the Red Sea and Mecca, the Persian Gulf, East Africa, Kerala and western India. In Across the Green Sea, Sanjay Subrahmanyam recounts the history of this ocean from a variety of shifting viewpoints. He sets the scene with the withdrawal of China's Ming Dynasty and explores how the western Indian Ocean was transformed by the growth and increasing prominence of the Ottoman Empire and the continued spread of Islam into East Africa. He examines how several cities, including Mecca and the vital Indian port of Surat, grew and changed during these centuries, when various powers interacted, until famines and other disturbances upended the region in the seventeenth century. Rather than proposing an artificial model of a dominant centre and its dominated peripheries, Across the Green Sea reveals the complexity of a truly dynamic and polycentric system through the use of connected histories, a method which he has pioneered.
