Governing Turbulence, Risk and Opportunities in the Complexity Age
The book is composed of several articles that explore complexity in its most varied aspects. The solution of contemporary problems, whatever they may be, requires a multifaceted vision, far beyond the reductionist perspective. The study of complex systems, however, does not have the capacity to offer ready answers to the challenges of humanity. On the contrary, it points to the increase in uncertainty, the need to control variables, and uncertainty. This does not mean, therefore, that we should simply ignore the social, economic, and political phenomena that are all around us. What this book demonstrates is the importance of knowledge being disseminated, and it is imperative that different sciences exchange ideas, theories, and breakthroughs.

The Literary Institution in Portugal Since the Thirties
Despite the numerous studies of the politics, economy, culture, and society of the Estado Novo, the relations established between publishers, authors, and governmental institutions and their contribution to the making of the literary canon are still marginal subjects of analysis. Based on the systems theories developed by Bourdieu, Dubois and Even-Zohar, this study focuses on the cultural production produced during the Estado Novo (1933-1974) and after the Revolution (1974-2004), within their political, economic and social framework. The chapters on José Saramago and José Luís Peixoto show them as examples of literary consecration that confirm the systemic relations in the Portuguese literary field. This research makes use of a survey on habits of purchase of Portuguese fiction, interviews with publishers, original statistical analyses, and takes a new approach to the study of Portuguese literature.
Polymer Based Bio-nanocomposites
This book gives a comprehensive overview of bionanocomposites, a class of materials that consist of a biopolymer matrix which is embedded with nanoparticles and natural fibres as reinforcement to produce novel material and achieve superior physico-chemical and mechanical properties. The book looks into the synthesis of various forms of nanoparticles, the fabrication methods, and the characterization of bionanocomposites. It also includes topics related to the sustainability and life prediction of bionanocomposites such as biodegradability, recycling, and re-use. An important aspect in the designing of bionanocomposites includes computational modeling, and the suitability of the bionanocomposites in various applications is presented. This book appeals to students, researchers, and scientists looking to gain fundamental knowledge, know about recent advancements in the research on bionanocomposites and their applications.

Cruel God, Kind God
This enlightening analysis of the image of a cruel God sustained by conservative Christianity reveals how this image formed, the psychological effects of this concept, and the ways in which it has guided religious individuals—in both positive and negative ways. This book is born, in large measure, as a result of a writing by contemporary theologian J. Harold Ellens. In his essay "Religious Metaphors Can Kill" from Praeger's The Destructive Power of Religion, Ellens espouses that theological doctrines are rooted in a model of God that determines all the aspects of those doctrines, and strongly influences the cultures into which it is inserted. Conservative Christianity in the Western world,...

Há mais de dois anos, o mundo enfrenta o desafio de reaprender a viver, num processo de adaptação à virtualidade. Uma transformação que, para diversos cientistas da comunicação, acelerou o processo de virtualização dos seres humanos e de suas relações para com o outro e, obviamente, com os meios de comunicação. Sem dúvida, testemunhamos uma reconfiguração do ecossistema midiático. Com esse tema norteador às conferências, realizamos o 5º Congresso Internacional Media Ecology and Image Studies – MEISTUDIES, que contou com o tema “A virtualização do novo ecossistema midiático”. O evento também foi marcado pela realização paralela do VI Seminário Internacional R...
Democracia e liberdade
O jurista José Carlos Dias e o jornalista Ricardo Carvalho foram, acima de tudo, grandes parceiros nas lutas de resistência à ditadura e pela redemocratização do país. Tive o privilégio de me tornar amigo dos dois. O livro sobre a vida e a obra de José Carlos Dias era o principal assunto do jornalista quando trabalhamos juntos no programa "Ricardão & Ricardinho", nossos apelidos nas redações. Acompanhei este trabalho, capítulo por capítulo, e senti o entusiasmo do velho repórter ao contar passagens memoráveis do advogado que dedicou sua vida à defesa dos direitos humanos e do Estado Democrático de Direito. Convivi por muitos anos com o incansável Dr. José Carlos na Comiss...
