Éden

Mais do que propor uma espécie de futurologia, Éden é uma distopia. Como toda distopia, esta tem a pretensão de criticar alguns aspectos da sociedade presente: seu modo de organização, sua cultura e suas ideias. Nunca se imagina que será dado cabo de todas as ideias que se apresentam em uma distopia. Sempre trabalhamos com hipérboles. Dessa forma a proposta de Éden é fazer um interessante exercício de reflexão: e se tais ideias, que atualmente circulam nas mais altas esferas intelectuais, fossem levadas até suas últimas consequências, o que nos aconteceria? Éden é uma tentativa de mostrar algumas dessas possíveis consequências Quando falamos de distopia, pensamos obviament...

Search-Based Software Engineering

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Search-Based Software Engineering, SSBSE 2019, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in August/September 2019. The 9 research papers and 3 short papers presented together with 1 keynote and 1 challenge paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. SSBSE is a research area focused on the formulation of software engineering problems as search problems, and the subsequent use of complex heuristic techniques to attain optimal solutions to such problems. A wealth of engineering challenges - from test generation, to design refactoring, to process organization - can be solved efficiently through the application of automated optimization techniques. SBSE is a growing field - sitting at the crossroads between AI, machine learning, and software engineering - and SBSE techniques have begun to attain human-competitive results.

Muslim Perceptions of Other Religions

Since its inception, Islam and its civilization have been in continuous relationships with other religions, cultures, and civilizations, including not only different forms of Christianity and Judaism inside and outside the Middle East, Zoroastrianism and Manicheism, Hinduism and even Buddhism, but also tribal religions in West and East Africa, in South Russia and in Central Asia, including Tibet. The essays collected here examine the many texts that have come down to us about these cultures and their religions, from Muslim theologians and jurists, travelers and historians, and men of letters and of culture.

The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...

Marine Debris

Marine debris is a global pollution problem affecting marine life, maritime commerce and environmental quality. Scientists, policymakers and the public must be knowledgeable about the source, impact and control efforts if effective solutions are to be developed. Marine Debris addresses the origin of persistent solid waste in the ocean, from urban and rural discharges to waste from ships and the recreational use of oceans. The book identifies key issues from biological, technological, economic and legal perspectives, and gives a framework for controlling each of the main sources of marine debris.
