Concurrency in Dependable Computing
Concurrency in Dependable Computing focuses on concurrency related issues in the area of dependable computing. Failures of system components, be hardware units or software modules, can be viewed as undesirable events occurring concurrently with a set of normal system events. Achieving dependability therefore is closely related to, and also benefits from, concurrency theory and formalisms. This beneficial relationship appears to manifest into three strands of work. Application level structuring of concurrent activities. Concepts such as atomic actions, conversations, exception handling, view synchrony, etc., are useful in structuring concurrent activities so as to facilitate attempts at copin...

Lapponia
A obra Lapponia: A descrição dos povos sámi e o projeto imperial sueco na obra de Johannes Schefferus (1648-1673), apresenta, a partir da perspectiva do humanista Johannes Schefferus, algumas considerações do autor a respeito dos modos e costumes da população sámi, habitantes do Norte, mal vistos pelos escandinavos do Sul. Nessa obra o autor comprova a crença errática dos suecos de que "povo pacífico, mediador e periférico no processo de colonização". Objetivo do autor é descrever como a obra de Schefferus ainda mostra força nos dias atuais, em relação a imagem que oferece sobre a força colonial dos suecos, narrativa desenvolvida a partir dos cânones humanísticos consagrados.
Mesjasze i millennia pustkowia
Celem dociekań Autora jest przede wszystkim ustalenie, czy brazylijskie ruchy społeczno-religijne miały millenarystyczno-mesjanistyczny charakter, ale zakres zebranych i wykorzystanych przez niego materiałów znacząco wykracza poza nakreślony temat (…), co dowodzi jego ogromnej erudycji oraz gruntownej znajomości całego iberoamerykańskiego obszaru kulturowego (…). Z książki tej czytelnik dowie się zatem dużo więcej, niż obiecuje jej tytuł. I będzie to dodatkowo lektura nie tylko pouczająca, ale także bardzo przyjemna. dr Renata Siuda-Ambroziak W obszarze zainteresowania autora jest w szczególności (choć nie tylko) obszar północno-wschodniej Brazylii – rozległy ...
Maquiavel no Brasil: dos descobrimentos ao século XXI
Maquiavel no Brasil' trata de um tema fascinante: os percursos da obra de Nicolau Maquiavel, desde os primeiros movimentos da colonização portuguesa no século XVI até os dias de hoje. A obra desbrava, com a competência acadêmica e com a complexidade reivindicada pela pesquisa de fontes, aspectos desconhecidos da recepção deste multifacetado personagem em terras brasileiras, num mergulho inédito nos tortuosos caminhos e descaminhos da obra desse florentino genial que continua a surpreender. São 500 anos de história de sucessivos e recorrentes maquiavelismos que constituíram, e continuam a formar, a política tal como ela é ou insiste em ser hoje, assim com suas alternativas.

Travessias
O personagem central deste livro é Pedro João, um marinheiro escravo nascido no Brasil e que vivenciou as tensões religiosas entre portugueses e ingleses durante o século XVII. “Pescado” por diferentes confissões cristãs em suas travessias atlânticas, ele desenvolveu uma mentalidade heterodoxa, a meio caminho entre as ortodoxias exigidas por uma cristandade europeia dividida pelas reformas religiosas.
