A natureza é um elemento basilar da nossa existência, das nossas vivências, das nossas experiências nos mais diversos níveis. Quando somos geógrafos e geógrafas, a natureza faz parte também da nossa vida profissional. Há os que digam que fazer geografia é estudar a relação sociedade x natureza. Alguns têm leituras mais detalhadas da sociedade, e a natureza não faz parte das linhas de raciocínio, mas ainda assim, como parte das vivências e inter-relações, ela está sempre presente. Sendo a natureza um elemento onipresente da vida dos cidadãos e das cidadãs, mister se faz ensiná-la! O ensino da natureza nada mais é do que o uso de técnicas que procuram desvendar seus mistérios, seus ritmos, suas músicas e cadências. Como é maravilhoso ensinar e aprender natureza! A leitura do livro representou para nós um crescimento pessoal ímpar e temos a certeza de que assim será para os que entrarem em contato com tal singular produção. Nós só temos a parabenizar autores, autoras e organizadores pela excelência, e desejar discussões frutíferas e engrandecedoras a partir da divulgação do material.
Mobile Museums presents an argument for the importance of circulation in the study of museum collections, past and present. It brings together an impressive array of international scholars and curators from a wide variety of disciplines – including the history of science, museum anthropology and postcolonial history - to consider the mobility of collections. The book combines historical perspectives on the circulation of museum objects in the past with contemporary accounts of their re-mobilisation, notably in the context of Indigenous community engagement. Contributors seek to explore processes of circulation historically in order to re-examine, inform and unsettle common assumptions abou...
Elements of Spatial Data Quality outlines the need and suggests potential categories for the content of a comprehensive statement of data quality that must be imbedded in the metadata that accompanies the transfer of a digital spatial data file or is available in a separate metadata catalog. Members of the International Cartographic Association's Commission on Spatial Data Quality have identified seven elements of data quality: positional accuracy, attribute accuracy, completeness, logical consistency, lineage, semantic accuracy and temporal information. In the book the authors describe: components of each data quality element, possible metrics that can be used to measure the quality of each criteria, possible testing and rating schemes, and how these parameters might differ from a producer or user point of view. Finally no volume of this nature would be complete without a chapter devoted to necessary future research in this subject.
The 1755 earthquake and tsunami were influential not only in Portugal but in all European and North African countries where the devastating effects were felt. The entire world was deeply impressed and the discussion of its causes generated a large amount of scientific and metaphysical speculation. It inspired philosophers, poets and writers. The socio-economic consequences of the event were great and affected the future organization and development of Portugal. The possibility of a similar occurence urges society and the scientific community to reflect on its lessons. Audience This work is of interest to experts in seismology, earthquake engineering, civil protection, urban planning and it is a reference book for doctoral students.
Publisher Description
Wine traceability is a central theme in the current world market where consumers are increasingly demanding the quality and origin of food and drink. The wine production chain and wine composition are generally controlled by different laws (International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), European Union (EU), and national governments) and need specific documentation. Nevertheless, wine production is subject to fraud. Consequently, the improvement of the methods applied to verify the origin and quality of wines is very important to protect wine consumers and producers. In this book, eight different papers—six research papers and two reviews—address the topic from different points of view.
