Six Sermons
António Vieira was a Jesuit born in Lisbon in 1608 who lived and worked in both Europe and Brazil in the service of the church and the Portuguese crown. His sermons are among the most renowned pieces of baroque oratory in the Portuguese language. This volume translates six of them into English, fully annotated, for the first time. These texts illuminate Vieira's visionary thought on social and spiritual matters.
The Oxford Handbook of the Baroque
Baroque, the cultural period extending from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century, created some of the world's most striking monuments, music, artworks, and literature. This Handbook goes beyond all existing studies by presenting Baroque not only as a style, but also as a global cultural phenomenon arising in response to enormous religious, political, and technological changes.
Handbook on Teaching and Learning for Sustainable Development
Exploring the important role of education in both pursuing and implementing sustainable development, this timely Handbook highlights how teaching methods at schools and universities can impact the future. It looks at ways not only to inform students about matters related to sustainable development, but also to empower them to adopt behaviours and actions that lead to more sustainable lifestyles.
Climate Change Adaptation in Latin America
This book showcases experiences from research, field projects and best practice in climate change adaptation in countries in the Latin American region, focusing on managing vulnerability and fostering resilience. It includes a selection of papers presented at a specialist symposium on climate change adaptation held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November 2016.Consistent with the need for more cross-sectoral interaction among the various stakeholders working in the field of climate change adaptation in Latin America, the book documents and disseminates the wealth of experiences in the region. It is divided into two main parts: Part 1 addresses the current and future impacts of climate change on fauna, flora and landscapes, while Part 2 is concerned with the socio-economic aspects of climate change adaptation, analyzing some of the main problems prevailing in this vulnerable region and examining ways to address them.
Advances in Turbulence
This book presents selected papers from the 12th edition of the Spring School of Transition and Turbulence which took place in 2020. The papers cover applications on a number of industrial processes, such as the automotive, aeronautics, chemicals, oil and gas, food, nanotechnology, and others. The readers find out research and applied works on the topics of aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, instrumentation and experiments, multi-phase flows, and theoretical and analytical modeling.

1655 Escala em Coimbra
Na carta que aqui se publica, um jovem padre jesuíta educado nos colégios da Companhia de Jesus de Brabante faz um relato detalhado da vida no Colégio de Jesus de Coimbra, onde permaneceu alguns meses no ano de 1655, numa escala imprevista durante a sua viagem entre a Europa e o Extremo Oriente. A descrição de Inácio Hartoghvelt oferece-nos uma visita guiada aos espaços da Companhia de Jesus de Coimbra (Colégio de Jesus, Colégio das Artes, Quinta de Vila Franca), permitindo-nos olhar para os edifícios pelo seu lado de dentro, dando-nos a oportunidade de vislumbrar as quase duas centenas de ocupantes nas suas atividades diárias. Inácio compara constantemente o colégio de Coimbra com os de Brabante, enfatizando a austeridade espartana em Coimbra. Alguns aspetos provocam o espanto do autor, revelando também a sua admiração e o seu respeito ao perceber que esta escala em Coimbra era a melhor preparação para as dificuldades que o aguardavam na sua missão na China.
Interdisciplinary Topics in Applied Mathematics, Modeling and Computational Science
The Applied Mathematics, Modelling, and Computational Science (AMMCS) conference aims to promote interdisciplinary research and collaboration. The contributions in this volume cover the latest research in mathematical and computational sciences, modeling, and simulation as well as their applications in natural and social sciences, engineering and technology, industry, and finance. The 2013 conference, the second in a series of AMMCS meetings, was held August 26—30 and organized in cooperation with AIMS and SIAM, with support from the Fields Institute in Toronto, and Wilfrid Laurier University. There were many young scientists at AMMCS-2013, both as presenters and as organizers. This proceedings contains refereed papers contributed by the participants of the AMMCS-2013 after the conference. This volume is suitable for researchers and graduate students, mathematicians and engineers, industrialists, and anyone who would like to delve into the interdisciplinary research of applied and computational mathematics and its areas of applications.
Anthropologies of Education
Despite international congresses and international journals, anthropologies of education differ significantly around the world. Linguistic barriers constrain the flow of ideas, which results in a vast amount of research on educational anthropology that is not published in English or is difficult for international readers to find. This volume responds to the call to attend to educational research outside the United States and to break out of “metropolitan provincialism.” A guide to the anthropologies and ethnographies of learning and schooling published in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Slavic languages, Japanese, and English as a second language, show how scholars in Latin America, Japan, and elsewhere adapt European, American, and other approaches to create new traditions. As the contributors show, educators draw on different foundational research and different theoretical discussions. Thus, this global survey raises new questions and casts a new light on what has become a too-familiar discipline in the United States.
