Esta obra busca, entre outras coisas que poderiam ser apontadas, algumas reflexões a respeito do tempo-memória. Cada autor tentou mostrar, retrospectivamente, como certos fatos e acontecimentos são filtrados e hierarquizados no momento em que estavam narrando. Os autores refletem, entre outros pontos, que o passado possui um peso muito grande no presente, assim como em nossas projeções futuras. Continuidades e descontinuidades fazem parte da temporalidade humana vista como um todo que nos identifica.
In "Portuguese Architecture," Walter Crum Watson delivers a comprehensive examination of the evolution of architectural styles throughout Portugal, highlighting the unique synthesis of influences that have shaped its built environment. Through a meticulous analysis of historical periods, from Gothic to Manueline, and onto modernism, Watson employs a scholarly yet accessible prose style that offers both aesthetic appreciation and critical insight. The book situates Portuguese architecture within broader European trends while emphasizing distinct regional characteristics, making it an essential resource for students and enthusiasts of architectural history alike. Walter Crum Watson, a seasoned...
Paulo Freire é um desses homens de verdes orelhas. Um adulto que não deixou morrer a sua "meninice" e, justamente por isso, nunca deixou de se inquietar com as "coisas" do mundo, de perguntar e perguntar-se, de sonhar, de amar, de acreditar na alegria e de encantar-se. Suas verdes orelhas levaram-no a muitas andarilhagens, o que o tornou mundialmente conhecido. Homenageado em inúmeras universidades brasileiras e estrangeiras, é o educador que mais recebeu títulos honoris causa. Seu livro Pedagogia do Oprimido é a terceira obra mais citada na área de humanidades no mundo, segundo Elliot Green, professor da London School of Economics. Sua obra é estudada em diversos centros educacionai...
This book presents the complete formulation of a new advanced discretization meshless technique: the Natural Neighbour Radial Point Interpolation Method (NNRPIM). In addition, two of the most popular meshless methods, the EFGM and the RPIM, are fully presented. Being a truly meshless method, the major advantages of the NNRPIM over the FEM and other meshless methods, are the remeshing flexibility and the higher accuracy of the obtained variable field. Using the natural neighbour concept, the NNRPIM permits to determine organically the influence-domain, resembling the cellulae natural behaviour. This innovation permits the analysis of convex boundaries and extremely irregular meshes, which is an advantage in the biomechanical analysis, with no extra computational effort associated. This volume shows how to extend the NNRPIM to the bone tissue remodelling analysis, expecting to contribute with new numerical tools and strategies in order to permit a more efficient numerical biomechanical analysis.
Bringing a unique joint practitioner and academic perspective to the topic, this is the only available text on private equity truly international in focus. Examples are drawn from Europe the Middle East, Africa and America with major case studies from a wide range of business sectors, from the prestigious collection of the London Business School’s Coller Institute of Private Equity. Much more than a simple case book, however, International Private Equity provides a valuable overview of the private equity industry and uses the studies to exemplify all stages of the deal process, and to illustrate such key topics as investing in emerging markets; each chapter guides the reader with an authoritative narrative on the topic treated. Covering all the main aspects of the private equity model, the book includes treatment of fund raising, fund structuring, fund performance measurement, private equity valuation, due diligence, modeling of leveraged buyout transactions, and harvesting of private equity investments.
The book Eco-Restoration of the Polluted Environment: A Biological Perspective explores recent advances in biological strategies for the remediation of polluted environments, including soil, water, and air. It covers bioremediation of heavy metals, radioactive waste, and waste gases, which are believed to be bottleneck problems for researchers working in this field. The book contains separate chapters on genetic engineering technology for enhancement of the bioremediation potential of bioresources and the role of biosurfactants, enzymes, and exo-polysaccharides for bioremediation of polluted environments, along with basic aspects of eco-restoration by microorganisms. It summarizes the signif...
