Pesquisadores, estudiosos e cidadãos interessados na situação do negro no Brasil muitas vezes têm dificuldade de encontrar fontes de pesquisa confiáveis. Obter informações embasadas cientificamente, avaliar a veracidade, checar as fontes e ter um olhar crítico sobre o conteúdo encontrado não é tarefa fácil. Pensando em auxiliar o trabalho de quem precisa encontrar e filtrar referências entre tantas disponíveis, a Câmara dos Deputados, por iniciativa do Programa Pró-Equidade de Gênero e Raça e da Biblioteca da Câmara dos Deputados, organizou esse guia de fontes de pesquisa sobre a temática racial no país. O livro reúne uma bibliografia abrangente e diversificada sobre a condição do negro, facilitando o acesso a artigos que informam, debatem, analisam, refletem e denunciam a questão racial ao longo da história do Brasil até os dias atuais. Com esta publicação, a Câmara dos Deputados reafirma o seu compromisso com a promoção da igualdade racial no país.
This book discusses the Lagoa Santa Karst, which has been internationally known since the pioneering studies of the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the early 1800s. It covers the speleogenesis, geology, vegetation, fauna, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and anthropogenic use of the Lagoa Santa Karst and is the first English-language book on this major karst area. The area, which has been at the heart of the debate on the origin and age of human colonization in the Americas, is characterized by a classical and scenic karst landscape with limestone cliffs, karst lakes and karst plains, in addition to numerous solution dolines. More than 1,000 caves have been documented in the area, many with significant archeological and paleontological value. Despite its great importance, the Lagoa Santa Karst faces severe environmental threats due to limestone mining and the expansion of the metropolis of Belo Horizonte and its surrounding towns. The growing recognition of the area’s remarkable significance has led to increasing concern, and a number of protected areas have now been established, improving the conservation status of this landmark karst area.
Based on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and historical research, this book uses a Brazilian quilombola community (descendants of enslaved Africans) as a case study to explore how memories, knowledge, and experience are transformed into cultural heritage.

This book draws together a wide range of papers from researchers around the world that address the conservation and biodiversity of vertebrates, particularly those in terrestrial habitats. Collectively, the papers provide a snap-shot of the types of studies and actions being taken in vertebrate conservation and provide topical examples that will make the volume especially valuable for use in conservation biology courses.

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.
