Creatures of the Air
"From the sounds of West Central African harps to the sounds of the European J. S. Bach revival, Creatures of the Air is a nineteenth-century music history told as a history of the art's elemental media system, air. Air is here understood as a human domain and music as an art of that domain, as such embedded in histories of environmental and colonial struggle around a thickened consciousness of the air and of breathing itself. The narrative moves across malarial equatorial climates and polluted industrial ones; the loss and recovery of the human voice in hazardous environmental conditions; scenes of suffocation and breathing mirrored in the creation and performance of Mendelssohn's enormous Elijah oratorio. No longer just an innocent luxury, by its claim to invisibility music is shown to be implicated in the struggle for control over air as a most precious natural resource. What emerges is a complex political ecology where differentiated musical systems combined, struggled against, and co-constituted one another in the course of the global nineteenth century and beyond"--
Understanding Obesity: From its Causes to impact on Life
Understanding Obesity informs readers about contributing factors to obesity: from social and behavioral determinants throughout the life course, influences from before we are born to what we eat (nutrients and food contaminants which impact body weight), gut bacteria, and the way accumulated energy from nutrition is spent. Chapters will also inform readers about adipose tissue (the dynamic role of the adipose tissue during obesity development, the pressure put on to its remodeling and differences in obesity phenotypes regarding association with pathological outcomes as well as the latest advances in finding biological markers of adipose tissue dysfunction) and the latest treatment options fo...

O Abolicionismo e o Potencial Simbólico de Luiz Gama em Notícias Circulantes na Imprensa Grão-Paraense e Cearense
Apoiadas pela bolsa de pesquisa da Fundação Amazônia de Amparo a Estudos e Pesquisas (Fapespa), as análises a que o leitor terá acesso o colocarão diante de diversos excertos jornalísticos que o ajudarão a definir os contornos que a busca pela liberdade na província grão-paraense tomou entre os anos de 1870 e 1888, período marcado por um crescente movimento de buscas por liberdade cativa, então, circulante em todo o Império brasileiro. De igual modo, trata-se da representação e evocação à memória de Luiz Gama enquanto representante/ potencial simbólico de um abolicionismo que transitou entre os meios legais, a própria imprensa e a defesa de decisões mais enérgicas quanto à abolição do elemento servil.

Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Experiments for the Laboratory Classroom
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
Women, Business and the Law 2021
Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
