Laudato si', mi' Signore (Louvado sejas, meu Senhor!), cantou o Jovem de Assis, e esse canto continua a ecoar em nossos lábios. Mas esse canto não é somente uma louvação ao Deus da Criação. É, sobretudo, o testamento daqueles que se comprometem com o cuidado da "casa comum", que nos abriga e pela qual somos responsáveis. O apelo do papa Francisco para que cuidemos dessa nossa irmã é um desafio para a teologia e a pastoral contemporâneas. A ecologia integral se realiza no abraço sincero e amoroso de toda a criação entre si, na ética do cuidado que concretiza a responsabilidade pela criação e faz emanar o mais profundo e sincero canto de louvor a Deus. A "cura" da casa comum: ano especial da Laudato Si' e os desafios a partir do Sínodo para a Amazônia, obra organizada pelos amigos Pe. Elizeu e Pe. José Nobre, traz reflexões de diversos especialistas que nos ajudam a voltarmos o olhar para o apelo teológico da corresponsabilidade pelo planeta que nos abriga e, de modo especial, pela Amazônia, "pulmão do mundo".

This book reviews the authenticity of certain Street Food specialties from the viewpoint of food chemists. At present, the food market clearly shows the predominance of fast-food operators in many Western countries. However, the concomitant presence of the traditional lifestyle model known as the Mediterranean Diet in Europe has also been increasingly adopted in many countries, in some cases with unforeseen effects such as offering Mediterranean-like foods for out-of-home consumption. This commercial strategy also includes the so-called Street Food, which is marketed as a variation on Mediterranean foods. One of the best known versions of Street Food products can be found in Sicily, Italy, a...
Harima Fudoki, dated to 714CE, is one of Japan’s earliest extant written records. It is a rich account of the people, places, natural resources and stories in the Harima region of western Japan. Produced by the government as a tool for Japan’s early state formation, Harima Fudoki includes important myths of places and gods from a different perspective to the contemporaneous ‘national’ chronicles. This document is an essential primary source for all who are interested in ancient Japan. In this new critical edition, Palmer draws upon recent research into the archaeology, history, orality and literature of ancient Japan to reinterpret this hitherto little-known document. Palmer’s insightful commentary contextualizes the Harima tales for the first time in English.
The book showcases examples of university engagement in community initiatives and reports on the results from research and from a variety of institutional projects and programmes. As a whole, the book illustrates how actors at the community (microlevel) and other levels (meso and macro) can make valuable and concrete contributions to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, more specifically, to achieving the objectives defined at the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is one of the outcomes of the “Second World Symposium on Sustainability Science”, which was jointly organised by the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (Brazil), the Research and Transfer Centre “Sustainable Development and Climate Change Management” and the “European School of Sustainability Science and Research” at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), in cooperation with the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP).

A scientific revolution began at the end of the eighteenth century with the invention and popularization of the graphic display of data by the remarkable Scot, William Playfair. His marvellous Atlas showed how much could be learned if one plotted data atheoretically and looked for suggestive patterns. Those patterns provide evidence, albeit circumstantial, on which to build new science. Playfair's work has much to teach us, but finding a copy has been almost impossible. Until now. This full colour reproduction of two of his classic works, with new explanatory material, makes Playfair's wisdom widely available for the first time in two centuries.
