O Brasil, afastado de conflitos bélicos há tempos, se acostumou a relacionar o termo "defesa" aos momentos de guerra e a percebê-los como de interesse meramente militar. Este livro busca desmistificar esse paradigma e apresenta desafios em gerenciar grandes instituições, entre elas, as Forças Armadas. Escrito por pesquisadores e estudiosos do tema, civis e militares, apresenta conteúdo atual e instigante. A obra é uma coletânea de pesquisas, consequentes de iniciativas indutoras do desenvolvimento do campo de estudos da defesa e ações pontuais das instituições envolvidas.
Em Saúde e Psicologia: dilemas e desafios da prática na atualidade são abordados temas fundamentais a serem enfrentados pela Psicologia em interface com todo o sistema de saúde.

Heredity, either alone or in combination with environmental factors, is the most prominent underlying cause of hearing impairment. Thanks in large part to positional cloning techniques, scientists have identified nearly 100 gene loci implicated in hearing loss since 1995-an extraordinarily rapid rate of gene identification.

Europium belongs to the lanthanide series of the periodic table. The most important property of this element is its luminescence, which can be defined as emission of light by a material as a consequence of energy absorption. Such property leads to the main use of this element; that is, its application as phosphor, which emits colored light through electroluminescent processes, with potential utilisation in computer and TV displays. Many scientists employ the luminescence spectroscopy of the europium ion to elucidate the structure of natural and synthetic compounds. This book reviews research on the photoluminescence of the europium ion in different materials, prepared by hydrolytic and non-hydrolytic sol-gel methodologies and intercalation in kaolinite.
D. W. Winnicott (1896-1971) was one of the giants of child psychiatry and analysis. Whether writing or talking, he always argued eloquently for an increased sensitivity to children, their development and their needs. His books such as Playing and Reality and The Family and Individual Development, are now considered classics in the field of child development. Deprivation and Delinquency is an invaluable compilation of his papers, talks, letters and lectures between 1930 and 1970, centred on the theme of the relationship between antisocial behaviour, or more chronically delinquency, and childhood experiences of deprivation. Linking passages by the editors set the historical context for four sections focusing on children under stress, the nature and origin of antisocial tendency, the practical management of difficult children, and individual therapy with the antisocial personality.
