This is the first comprehensive listing of Amazon fruits from an ethnobotanical perspective. This detailed book covers 50 botanical families, 207 species, in the Amazon including how the people of each region use them. It is lavishly illustrated with high-quality photographs taken by the author, an extensive list of references, and Dr. Smith’s latest, meticulous research. This book should be a foundational work for scholars working in the plant sciences, researchers in ethnobotanical studies, and general interest scholars seeking more detailed information on the latest research by a leading scientist in the Amazon.
Molecular Systematics of Bryophytes: Progress, Problems and Perspectives, was an internationally attended symposium held at the Missouri Botanical Garden, September 6 and 7, 2003. Attendees from a dozen countries, representing a global bryological community, participated in the event. The symposium program featured twenty-nine speakers discussing various aspects of the molecular systematics of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts). The result of this gathering of imminent botanical researchers is the book now before you, twenty-one chapters divided into five areas of concentration: (1) Bryophytes and Evolution of Land Plants; (2) Hornwort Phylogeny; (3) Liverwort Phylogeny; (4) Moss Phylogeny; and (5) Phylogeography.
This book provides keys, descriptions and illustrations for about 850 species of liverworts and hornworts, in 148 genera and 47 families, of Colombia and Ecuador. The largest genera are Lejeunea (66 spp.), Plagiochila (65), Frullania (54), Radula (33), Metzgeria (33), Cololejeunea (32), Cheilolejeunea (30), Bazzania (26), Drepanolejeunea (25), Ceratolejeunea (18), Diplasiolejeunea (18), and Syzygiella (18). Species descriptions include brief morphological characterization and discussion with emphasis on characters for identification, world range as well as distribution and habitat in Colombia and Ecuador. Classes, orders, families and genera are also described and the main features for recognition of the genera are briefly discussed. The introduction includes chapters on history of exploration, diversity and endemism, and classification. A glossary, bibliography and index to scientific names are also provided.
“Saberes Educacionais em seus múltiplos contextos” é o terceiro volume de uma publicação que compila artigos de docentes de cursos de pós-graduação stricto sensu, em instituições de ensino superior; é um trabalho de grande importância para o mundo acadêmico, por representar a competência e a credibilidade dos professores das IES Federais e Estaduais brasileiras, aumentando a produção de conhecimentos científicos. São 12 artigos que comprovam o compromisso acadêmico da Universidade do Estado do Pará e daqueles que promovem o conhecimento científico com base em pesquisas, observações, análises e reflexões acerca do ensino-aprendizagem nos mais diversos contextos. Esta é mais uma obra organizada pela Professora Dra. Elisa Maria Pinheiro de Souza, da Universidade do Estado do Pará – UEPA, a partir da produção docente do Programa de Pós-Graduação de Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Língua Portuguesa e suas respetivas literaturas, dando mostra de seu compromisso para com o desenvolvimento das pesquisas científicas originadas em sala de aula e com a qualificação dos docentes do curso de Letras.
