Janelas Abertas: Conversas sobre arte, política e vida
Janelas Abertas reúne grandes nomes das artes e da cultura contemporâneas em conversas que têm a arte, a política e a vida como ponto de partida. Organizado por Eleonora Fabião e Adriana Schneider, professoras da Escola de Comunicação da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), o livro é um desdobramento de uma série de encontros semanais que reunia, virtualmente, uma audiência em torno de duplas de intelectuais e artistas, abrindo as janelas encerradas pelo isolamento provocado pela pandemia que teve início em 2020. O resultado é um mosaico polifônico e atemporal de ideias sobre cultura, sociedade, o papel de cada um no mundo e o impacto das mudanças no planeta nos modos...
Performances do tempo espiralar, poéticas do corpo-tela
Em Performances do tempo espiralar, poéticas do corpo-tela, da coleção Encruzilhada, da Editora Cobogó, a ensaísta, poeta, dramaturga e professora traz ensaios nos quais Leda Maria Martins explora as inter-relações entre corpo, tempo, performance, memória e produção de saberes, principalmente os que se instituem por via das corporeidades. Em novas dicções, a autora consolida o conceito de tempo espiralar, que surge pela observação de práticas comunitárias e no fundamento cognitivo de vários grupos étnicos africanos – que nas Américas recriaram seus laços de pertencimento telúrico. Isso acontece, sobretudo, nas culturas fincadas na oralidade e na cosmovisão ancestral c...
Igapó (Black-water flooded forests) of the Amazon Basin
Igapó forests are a common part of the Amazon whose ecosystems are critical to our shared human future. The introduction addresses the structure, function and dynamics of igapó forests in the Amazon basin, focusing on their uniqueness due to their high level of complexity defined as the many ways that different components of igapó forests in the Amazon basin ecosystem interact and also on how those interactions are on a higher-order compared to other tropical forests. The text then breaks down the igapó ecosystem using these sections: (1) Igapó forests over space and time, (2) Water, light and soils, (3) The carbon cycle, (4) Litter, fungi and invertebrates, (5) Vertebrates, (6) Plant population studies, (7) Plant community studies, and (8) Human impacts and management. Experts from around the world serve as chapter authors that review what is known about their specific part of the igapó ecosystem, what research they have done, and also what needs to be done in the future.
La Pocha Nostra
La Pocha Nostra: A Handbook for the Rebel Artist in a Post-Democratic Society marks a transformation from its sister book, Exercises for Rebel Artists, into a pedagogical matrix suited for use as a performance handbook and conceptual tool for artists, activists, theorists, pedagogues, and trans-disciplinary border crossers of all stripes. Featuring a newly reworked outline of La Pocha Nostra's overall pedagogy, and how it has evolved in the time of Trump, cartel violence, and the politics of social media, this new handbook presents deeper explanations of the interdisciplinary pedagogical practices developed by the group that has been labeled "the most influential Latino/a performance troupe ...
Emerging Mechanisms in Neuronal Signaling: from Cell Biology to Pathogenesis

They are organized in the following topical sections: application of AI and informatics in disease detection; application of AI and informatics in healthcare; application of AI and informatics in pattern recognition; application of AI and informatics in network, security, and analytics; emerging applications of AI and informatics.
World Congress on Communication For Development
"Communication for Development is a multidisciplinary area of study and work that is based on two-way models of communication, going beyond diffusion and dissemination of information. Its functions range from engaging stakeholders in problem analysis and risk assessment to supporting behavior and social change. The experiences recounted here are drawn from the various sessions of the Congress and emphasize the value of using Communication for Development to engage stakeholders in a professional and systematic manner for more effective and sustainable project design and implementation."--BOOK JACKET.
Sectoral Systems of Innovation and Production in Developing Countries
Over the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in the quantity and quality of research focused on the processes through which technological capabilities are acquired by countries significantly behind the economic frontier, and the institutions that effectively support the catching up process. This book is a splendid contribution to this literature. The concept of a sectoral innovation system is well suited for framing studies of these kinds of questions, and serves well to unify the many interesting empirical studies in the book. Some of those studies are success stories, others of less successful cases. Readers new to this body of research will find this book a great introduction. ...
Forerunners of Mammals
An in-depth look at the origin and evolutionary radiation of the synapsids. About 320 million years ago a group of reptiles known as the synapsids emerged and forever changed Earth’s ecological landscapes. This book discusses the origin and radiation of the synapsids from their sail-backed pelycosaur ancestor to their diverse descendants, the therapsids or mammal-like reptiles, that eventually gave rise to mammals. It further showcases the remarkable evolutionary history of the synapsids in the Karoo Basin of South Africa and the environments that existed at the time. By highlighting studies of synapsid bone microstructure, it offers a unique perspective of how such studies are utilized to...
Sectoral Systems of Innovation
This volume provides a novel way of examining innovation in sectors by proposing the framework of sectoral systems of innovation. It analyses the innovation process, the factors affecting innovation, the changing boundaries and transformation of sectors, and the determinants of the innovation performance of firms and countries in different sectors.
