Reading and Writing Recipe Books, 1550-1800

DELEUZE E GUATTARI - Pensar em veredas que se bifurcam
(...) A filosofia se define, para Deleuze, como criação conceitual, e todo o seu trabalho é marcado por uma extraordinária invenção de conceitos. A arte é, com efeito, do domínio por excelência da criação, mas a arte cria blocos de sensações e não conceitos filosóficos. Grandes artistas e escritores são também grandes pensadores, mas pensam em termos de perceptos e afectos. Pintores pensam com linhas e cores, músicos pensam com sons, cineastas, com imagens e escritores, com palavras. Por isso, não há nenhum privilégio ou hierarquia entre essas diferentes atividades, pois cada uma delas é igualmente criadora. O verdadeiro objeto da arte é criar seres de sensação, agregados sensíveis; o objeto da filosofia é a criação conceitual. Criar um conceito é tão difícil quanto realizar uma composição visual, sonora ou verbal. Do mesmo modo, nada é tão grandioso quanto dar à luz uma imagem cinematográfica, uma pintura ou mesmo assinar um conceito. Veronica Damasceno
Pensar Deleuze: 50 Anos da Publicação da Obra Diferença e Repetição
Poderíamos dizer, então, que o vigor da diferença e da repetição reside em promover uma espécie de clínica filosófica, de saúde, de novo vitalismo, a partir do qual a Filosofia renuncia a servir a toda e qualquer moral, a todos os fundamentos transcendentes, conquistando um encontro com um fora, em que a multiplicidade ruge no meio de um baile de máscaras que nada esconde, que não oculta nenhuma identidade ou arkhé. De que outra forma entender as críticas à imagem do pensamento, mais que como uma tentativa de abrir um espaço a uma filosofia por vir que, em vez de preservar a vida, com seus valores e ressentimentos, seja capaz de a criar; que em vez de reconhecer o que existe, ...
Tropical Nephrology
This unique book provides an introduction to the fascinating field of tropical nephrology, covering nephrology, infectious diseases and tropical medicine. These topics are connected since numerous infectious and parasitic diseases affect the kidneys and are endemic in the tropical areas of the globe. Considered neglected tropical diseases by the World Health Organization, they are largely linked to poverty and lack policies to prevent, treat and decrease their prevalence and incidence. The tropics currently encompass nearly 150 countries and account for 40% of the world's population, and it is predicted that by 2050 this figure will rise to 55%. Most of the countries in the tropical regions ...

How Humans Judge Machines
How people judge humans and machines differently, in scenarios involving natural disasters, labor displacement, policing, privacy, algorithmic bias, and more. How would you feel about losing your job to a machine? How about a tsunami alert system that fails? Would you react differently to acts of discrimination depending on whether they were carried out by a machine or by a human? What about public surveillance? How Humans Judge Machines compares people's reactions to actions performed by humans and machines. Using data collected in dozens of experiments, this book reveals the biases that permeate human-machine interactions. Are there conditions in which we judge machines unfairly? Is our ju...
Concepts and Models for Drug Permeability Studies
Concepts and Models for Drug Permeability Studies: Cell and Tissue Based in Vitro Culture Models, Second Edition, summarizes the most important developments in in vitro models for predicting the permeability of drugs. This book is structured around three different approaches, summarizing the most recent achievements regarding models comprising (i) immortalized cells with an intrinsic ability to grow as monolayers when seeded in permeable supports, (ii) primary cells isolated from living organisms and directly cultured as barrier monolayers, and (iii) tissue-based models constructed with cell lines and extracellular matrix that resembles the tridimensional structure of mucosae and other biolo...
