O livro Geografia em Foco: Teorias e Práticas traz uma coletânea de artigos científicos com reflexões teóricas e, também, estudos de casos e experiências pedagógicas sobre uma grande diversidade de temas dentro da ciência geográfica. Esta obra surge a partir da necessidade de oportunizar que o conhecimento elaborado por diversos pesquisadores do Brasil possa alcançar não somente a comunidade acadêmica, mas também todos aqueles que se interessem pelas discussões que permeiam o espaço geográfico. Assim, por meio da variabilidade temática e metodológica da Geografia esta obra aponta perspectivas no âmbito educacional, econômico, ambiental, cultural e social.
Os capítulos integrantes da obra apresentam pesquisas finalizadas ou em andamento que envolvem técnicas, métodos e práticas como meios para acessar, produzir e expressar o conhecimento. Por meio das estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem adotadas e práticas pedagógicas, que correspondem aos diversos procedimentos planejados, praticados e implementados por profissionais da educação tanto dentro quanto fora dos muros escolares, são oferecidas alternativas para o exercício do processo de ensino. Referidas metodologias proporcionam novas oportunidades e horizontes por meio da construção de caminhos alternativos para a educação. Nesse contexto, os capítulos discutem os entraves que historicamente permeiam a educação, bem como os novos panoramas ou problemas que desafiam os docentes e discentes no cotidiano escolar. Os estudos e as pesquisas têm como finalidade atingir propostas de ensino por meio de alternativas para superar limites, abrir horizontes e construir caminhos que têm sido aplicadas no âmbito escolar.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

This book presents the distinctive theoretical and methodological approaches in geography education in South America and more specifically in Brazil, Chile and Colombia. It highlights cartography and maps as essential tools and provides a meaningful approach to learning in geographical education, thereby giving children and young people the opportunity to better understand their situations, contexts and social conditions. The book describes how South American countries organize their scholar curriculum and the ways in which they deal with geography vocabulary and developing fundamental concepts, methodologies, epistemological comprehension on categories, keywords and themes in geography. It also describes its use in teachers’ practices and learning progressions, the use of spatial representations as a potent mean to visualize and solve questions, and harnesses spatial thinking and geographical reasoning development. The book helps to improve teaching and learning practices in primary and secondary education and as such it provides an interesting read for researchers, students, and teachers of geography and social studies.
This book is focused on the engineering of green materials, which comprise natural composites, bio-inspired armors, waste-added clay ceramics, lignocellulosic fibers, and biodegradable polymers.
Set among a Lebanese immigrant community in the Brazilian port of Manaus, The Brothers is the story of identical twins, Yaqub and Omar, whose mutual jealousy is offset only by their love for their mother. But it is Omar who is the object of Zana's Jocasta-like passion, while her husband, Halim, feels her slipping away from him, as their beautiful daughter, Rania, makes a tragic claim on her brothers' affection. Vivid, exotic, and lushly atmospheric, The Brothers is the story of a family's disintegration, of a changing city and the culture clash between the native-born inhabitants and a new immigrant group, and of the future the next generation will make from the ruins.

Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
