Culturas infantis em creches e pré-escolas
" As recentes descobertas da pesquisa em sociologia da infância foram realizadas predominantemente nas instituições educativas com as crianças pequenas na esfera pública, fora da esfera privada da família, do mesmo modo adotado pelo presente livro, investigando o nexo entre dependência e autonomia, a construção do sentido de pertencimento, as formas de organização do pensamento anterior à potente forma da construção do pensamento com a leitura e a escrita, a gestão da ambivalência, entre outras, e assim estão mostrando as formas, as práticas de dominação no interior das classes sociais e também no coletivo infantil: o adultocentrismo, o machismo, o racismo também estão lá presentes, além dos exercícios de humanização (Milton Santos) por meio de práticas emancipatórias, como vemos aqui nos relatos de estágio do presente livro. [...] A experiência e o saber nesta fase da vida são indissociáveis e, segundo o sueco Gunnarsson (1994), as crianças aprendem mesmo quando os adultos não têm intenção de ensinar." (Trecho extraído da Apresentação do livro feita por Ana Lúcia Goulart de Faria.)
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

American Trypanosomiasis
Chagas disease causes severe socioeconomic impact and a high medical cost in Latin America. WHO and the World Bank consider Chagas disease as the fourth most transmittable disease to have a major impact on public health in Latin America: 120 million persons are potentially exposed, 16 to 18 million of whom are presently infected, causing 45,000 to 50,000 deaths per year. It has been calculated that approximately 2.4 million potential working years are lost because of incapacity and mortality due to the disease, for an annual cost estimated at 20 billion Euros. American Trypanosomiasis provides a comprehensive overview of Chagas disease and discusses the latest discoveries concerning the three elements that compose the transmission chain of the disease: - The host: human and mammalian reservoirs - The insect vectors: domestic and sylvatic vectors - The causative parasite: Trypanosoma cruzi - Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field - Contributions from leading authorities and industry experts

He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
