The Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
Brazilian Psychosocial Histories of Psychoanalysis
This edited volume provides a critical history of psychoanalysis in Brazil. Written mainly by Brazilian historians and practitioners of psychoanalysis, the chapters address some central questions about psychoanalysis’ social role. How did psychoanalysis develop and flourish in a society in which modernisation was accompanied by inequality, authoritarianism and violence? How did psychoanalysis survive in Brazil alongside censorship and repression? Through a variety of lenses, the contributors demonstrate how psychoanalysis in Brazil presented itself as progressive and transformative and maintained this self-image even as it developed institutional structures that reproduce the authoritarian...
The Relative Native
This volume is the first to collect the most influential essays and lectures of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Published in a wide variety of venues, and often difficult to find, the pieces are brought together here for the first time in a one major volume, which includes his momentous 1998 Cambridge University Lectures, “Cosmological Perspectivism in Amazonia and Elsewhere.” Rounded out with new English translations of a number of previously unpublished works, the resulting book is a wide-ranging portrait of one of the towering figures of contemporary thought—philosopher, anthropologist, ethnographer, ethnologist, and more. With a new afterword by Roy Wagner elucidating Viveiros de Castro’s work, influence, and legacy, The Relative Native will be required reading, further cementing Viveiros de Castro’s position at the center of contemporary anthropological inquiry.
Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology
This book provides a complete overview of a wide range of nanomaterials from their synthesis and characterization to current and potential applications with special focus on the use of such nano-based products as functional agents in biomedical, environmental and industrial applications. It addresses the intrinsic relationship between aspects involving the synthesis of nanocompounds, their bio-physico-chemical properties and their interactions occurring in biomedical, environmental and industrial matrix. This book is of interest to engineers, academics and research scholars working in these fields.
Industrial Engineering and Operations Management
This volume gathers selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the XXVI International Joint Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IJCIEOM), held on July 8-11, 2020 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The respective chapters address a range of timely topics in industrial engineering, including operations and process management, global operations, managerial economics, data science and stochastic optimization, logistics and supply chain management, quality management, product development, strategy and organizational engineering, knowledge and information management, work and human factors, sustainability, production engineering education, healthcare operations management, disaster management, and more. These topics broadly involve fields like operations, manufacturing, industrial and production engineering, and management. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for those engaged in optimization research, operations research, and practitioners alike.
Os Sentidos Do Luto
Ao nos deparamos com uma obra que se propõe a discorrer sobre o luto por suicídio, é possível que uma das perguntas que nos sobrevenha seja quais os motivos que ensejaram a pesquisa sobre o tema. Se o trabalho com o luto já requer a proximidade com vivências intensas de sofrimento, quando tais dores estão relacionadas à morte voluntária, provavelmente se torna ainda maior o desafio de refletir acerca de um processo tão penoso e de árdua compreensão. (...) A autora, que logo nos situa no percurso de sua investigação, ajuda-nos a trilhar outras veredas que não sejam aquelas obstruídas pelos efeitos do preconceito e da discriminação acusatória. Seu esforço empregado no levantamento da literatura sobre esse campo, bem como as sensíveis reflexões sobre o tema são diferenciais na leitura. (...) Estamos diante de uma obra que se preocupa em ofertar recursos para que os enlutados por suicídio não se vejam desamparados em suas dores. Felipe de Baére Psicólogo clínico; psicanalista Doutor em Psicologia Clínica e Cultura pela Universidade de Brasília

Facções criminosas prisionais, violência e criminalidade na semidemocracia brasileira
A garantia de efetividade dos direitos civis é um dos pressupostos fundamentais de um regime democrático e cabe ao Estado, por meio de sua estrutura legal e instituições formais, proporcionar aos seus cidadãos o usufruto pleno desses direitos. O Brasil ainda não transitou completamente em seu regime político e, apesar de apresentar níveis consideráveis de democracia eleitoral, o Estado de Direito é notadamente limitado, com enormes lacunas na efetividade da aplicação da lei e da ordem e na garantia das liberdades civis, sendo classificado como um país semidemocrático. O país registra, há décadas, elevados indicadores de violência e se tornou um dos maiores mercados do narco...
Discourses on American Musical Theatre between São Paulo and New York
In this book, Bernardo Fonseca Machado examines the transnationalization of American Broadway and the resulting cultural exchanges between New York and São Paulo at the turn of the twenty-first century. Machado combines ethnography and history to track the complexities of discourses, imaginaries, and economic interests within the flow of musical people, capital, practices, pedagogies, and shows between these two cities.
