A UNIJUÍ configura um seleto grupo de pesquisadores que veem na linhaça uma planta excepcional e nortearam, com grande ensejo, a criação de um programa para o seu melhoramento. Junto aos grupos da Ecofisiologia, da Farmácia e da Biologia, buscaram maximizar, pelo mestrado em Sistemas Ambientais e Sustentabilidade, avanços em Ciência e Tecnologia. Os autores deste livro nortearam esse processo buscando mostrar ao leitor o grande entusiasmo, a ciência e a paixão com que tratam esta cultura milenar, reconhecendo, com grande humildade, sua contribuição para a humanidade e a necessidade de avanços para torná-la reconhecida junto às principais espécies cultivadas no Brasil. É difícil imaginar que, acerca de uma planta de tamanhos benefícios aos sistemas de cultivo – e de grandes interesses para a alimentação e a saúde humana –, ainda se evidenciem muitas demandas por informações técnicas essenciais ao cultivo, além de um reduzido saber, por parte da sociedade, sobre suas potencialidades e benefícios.

This cutting-edge, applied book highlights the relevance of sociology by including a diverse collection of theories, research, and "lived experiences" that accurately mirror the diversity in society itself. The author's vivid, applied, personal writing style engages students, and activates compelling everyday examples that make sociology particularly relevant to diverse students. A social issue or application opens each chapter and provides various topics for boxes, features, and examples that are carried throughout the entire chapter. Kendall's text is acclaimed in the field for being the first textbook to integrate race, class, and gender issues; as well as for its thorough presentation of sociological theory, which includes diverse theoretical viewpoints such as feminist and postmodernist theory. Kendall shows students that sociology involves important questions and issues that they confront both personally and vicariously.
The Social Design Reader explores the ways in which design can be a catalyst for social change. Bringing together key texts of the last fifty years, editor Elizabeth Resnick traces the emergence of the notion of socially responsible design. This volume represents the authentic voices of the thinkers, writers and designers who are helping to build a 'canon' of informed literature which documents the development of the discipline. The Social Design Reader is divided into three parts. Section 1: Making a Stand includes an introduction to the term 'social design' and features papers which explore its historical underpinnings. Section 2: Creating the Future documents the emergence of social design as a concept, as a nascent field of study, and subsequently as a rapidly developing professional discipline, and Section 3: A Sea Change is made up of papers acknowledging social design as a firmly established practice. Contextualising section introductions are provided to aid readers in understanding the original source material, while summary boxes clearly articulate how each text fits with the larger milieu of social design theory, methods, and practice.
