DIMENSÕES DO PENSAMENTO: Estudos em Educação, Política, Ciência e Arte – Volume 1
“O livro Dimensões do Pensamento traz a público um conjunto de artigos transdisciplinares, nos quais os autores têm como escopo refletir sobre algumas situações pretéritas sobre as quais buscam compreender o passado como alternativa para melhor apreender o presente e assim prospectar um futuro mais humano. Vemos também um desejo de olhar a atualidade sob várias nuances, cujas perspectivas configuram um esforço para compreender os tempos em que vivemos, fato que dificulta bastante o trabalho do pesquisador que investiga o próprio momento histórico em que vive, o qual precisa atentar-se arduamente para não incorrer no erro de deixar que suas subjetividades sobreponham a objetividade necessária à pesquisa. É por valorizarmos o empenho dos pesquisadores e acreditarmos na capacidade de transformação na vida dos sujeitos advindos do ensino, da pesquisa e da extensão que recomendamos a leitura da obra em questão”.

Handbook on Cassava
Cassava produces about 10 times more carbohydrates than most cereals per unit area, and are ideal for production in marginal and drought prone areas. Cassava, which originated from tropical South America, is a perennial woody shrub with an edible root, which today is grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world where it provides energy food and serves as a veritable source of food and income for over a billion people. This handbook provides new research on the production, consumption and potential uses of cassava.

Cactus (Opuntia Spp.) as Forage
Opuntias are multipurpose plants that are increasingly being used in agricultural systems in arid and semi-arid areas. Due to its high water-use efficiency, it is particularly useful as forage in times of drought and in areas where few other crops can grow, and it is now considered a key component for the productivity and sustainability of these regions. This publication presents current scientific and practical information on the use of the cactus Opuntia as forage for livestock.
The Epidemiology and Ecology of Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne, parasitic disease with tremendous variety in presentation, biology, and epidemiology. Any book on this disease must acknowledge the nearly impossible task of providing an exhaustive account of leishmaniasis simply because the epidemiology of the disease is so very complex. This book addresses some of this variety with chapters on the epidemiology of leishmaniasis in North Africa, Central America, and South America. The purpose of the book is not to specifically address diagnosis and treatment of the disease, but rather to provide a sample of the differing epidemiologies of leishmaniasis that occur due to variations in local habitats; the presence of different vectors, reservoirs, and agents; and the wide variety of cultures in which this disease occurs.
Searching the Heavens and the Earth
Jesuits established a large number of astronomical, geophysical and meteorological observatories during the 17th and 18th centuries and again during the 19th and 20th centuries throughout the world. The history of these observatories has never been published in a complete form. Many early European astronomical observatories were established in Jesuit colleges. During the 17th and 18th centuries Jesuits were the first western scientists to enter into contact with China and India. It was through them that western astronomy was first introduced in these countries. They made early astronomical observations in India and China and they directed for 150 years the Imperial Observatory of Beijing. In the 19th and 20th centuries a new set of observatories were established. Besides astronomy these now included meteorology and geophysics. Jesuits established some of the earliest observatories in Africa, South America and the Far East. Jesuit observatories constitute an often forgotten chapter of the history of these sciences.
