Crisis in Education
?Without question, Farber's book on teacher burnout is the most comprehensive, analytic, and instructive book on the topic, and I urge the reader to study it.?--Seymour B. Sarason, author, The Predictable Failure of Educational Reform
Ethnomathematics in Action
This book presents a collection of ethnomathematical studies of diverse mathematical practices in Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, rural and urban communities in Brazil. Ethnomathematics as a research program aims to investigate the interrelationships of local mathematical knowledge sources with broader universal forms of mathematics to understand ideas, procedures, and practices found in distinct cultural groups. Based on this approach, the studies brought together in this volume show how this research program is applied and practiced in a culturally diverse country such as Brazil, where African, indigenous and European cultures have generated different forms of mathematical practice. These stud...
The Ethical Brain
A provocative and fascinating look at new discoveries about the brain that challenge our ethics The rapid advance of scientific knowledge has raised ethical dilemmas that humankind has never before had to address. Questions about the moment when life technically begins and ends or about the morality of genetically designing babies are now relevant and timely. Our ever-increasing knowledge of the workings of the human brain can guide us in the formation of new moral principles in the twenty-first century. In The Ethical Brain, preeminent neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga presents the emerging social and ethical issues arising out of modern-day brain science and challenges the way we look at them. Courageous and thought-provoking -- a work of enormous intelligence, insight, and importance -- this book explores the hitherto uncharted landscape where science and society intersect.
Extremo Oriente Conectado
Esse livro reúne diversos ensaios sobre história e cultura das civilizações extremo-orientais: Índia, China, Japão, Coréia, numa perspectiva interdisciplinar, servindo de base sólida para os estudos asiáticos no Brasil.
Comprehensive Analysis of Parasite Biology
Written and edited by experts in the field, this book brings together the current state of the art in phenotypic and rational, target-based approaches to drug discovery against pathogenic protozoa. The chapters focus particularly on virtual compounds and high throughput screening, natural products, computer-assisted drug design, structure-based drug design, mechanism of action identification, and pathway modelling. Furthermore, state-of the art "omics" technologies are described and currently studied enzymatic drug targets are discussed. Mathematical, systems biology-based approaches are introduced as new methodologies for dissecting complex aspects of pathogen survival mechanisms and for target identification. In addition, recently developed anti-parasitic agents targeting particular pathways, which serve as lead compounds for further drug development, are presented.

Health Promotion for Children and Adolescents
This timely volume surveys the broad spectrum of interventions used in health promotion, and shows how they may be tailored to the developmental needs of children and adolescents. Its multilevel lifespan approach reflects concepts of public health as inclusive, empowering, and aimed at long- and short-term well-being. Coverage grounds readers in theoretical and ecological perspectives, while special sections spotlight key issues in social and behavioral wellness, dietary health, and children and teens in the health care system. And in keeping with best practices in the field, the book emphasizes collaboration with stakeholders, especially with the young clients themselves. Among the topics c...
Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory
Offers an extended, improved version of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), updating it in the context of current linguistic theory.
Depoimento especial de crianças e adolescentes sob o prisma da ampla defesa
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a questão se o procedimento do depoimento especial de crianças e adolescentes, vítimas ou testemunhas de violência, implica cerceamento da defesa do suposto agressor, posto que, na evolução histórica e legislativa dos infantes, inúmeras fases tiveram que ser superadas para que fossem considerados sujeitos de direitos e que, assim, pudessem ter consagrados os seus direitos de falarem e de serem ouvidos, respeitando o peculiar estado de desenvolvimento das crianças e adolescentes. O método tradicional de conduzir uma audiência pode ser prejudicial e traumático para as crianças e adolescentes que irão depor sobre a violência da qual foram vítimas ou testemunhas. Diante disso, projetos e leis em vários países do globo foram desenvolvidos para atender essa necessidade de um procedimento de oitiva adaptado para os infantes.
Anion Receptor Chemistry
Anion recognition plays a critical role in a range of biological processes, and a variety of receptors and carriers can be found throughout the natural world. Chemists working in the area of supramolecular chemistry have created a range of anion receptors, drawing inspiration from nature as well as their own inventive processes. This book traces the origins of anion recognition chemistry as a unique sub-field in supramolecular chemistry while illustrating the basic approaches currently being used to effect receptor design. The combination of biological overview and summary of current synthetic approaches provides a coverage that is both comprehensive and comprehensible. First, the authors de...
