From the same author of "Electrocardiogram in veterinary medicine", this book presents cardiac arrhythmias in the format of illustrated and commented clinical cases so that clinicians, anesthetists, interventionists or cardiologists may be assisted to diagnose them, and even train their ability to analyze the tracings that may appear in daily practice; and all the more so, because arrhythmias may arise in associations or often, be accompanied by other findings that suggest heart diseases (such as chamber enlargement) or extra-cardiac diseases (such as pneumonias, for instance). Both synthetic and didactic, the book includes 250 selected cases, accompanied by a brief history of the patients, ...
Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, and the Brazilian national team is beloved around the planet for its beautiful playing style, the jogo bonito. With the most successful national soccer team in the history of the World Cup, Brazil is the only country to have played in every competition and the winner of more championships than any other nation. Soccer is perceived, like carnival and samba, to be quintessentially Brazilian and Afro-Brazilian. Yet the practice and history of soccer are also synonymous with conflict and contradiction as Brazil continues its trajectory toward modernity and economic power. The ongoing debate over how Team Brazil should play and positively represent a nation of demanding supporters bears on many crucial facets of a country riven by racial and class tensions. The Country of Football is filled with engaging stories of star players and other key figures, as well as extraordinary research on local, national, and international soccer communities. Soccer fans, scholars, and readers who are interested in the history of sport will emerge with a greater understanding of the complex relationship between Brazilian soccer and the nation’s history.

The chapters discuss the jurists within their historical, intellectual, and pol...

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Europeans invented 'Indians' and populated the world with them. The global history of the term 'Indian' remains largely unwritten and this volume, taking its cue from Shakespeare, asks us to consider the proximities and distances between various early modern discourses of the Indian. Through new analysis of English travel writing, medical treatises, literature, and drama, contributors seek not just to recover unexpected counter-histories but to put pressure on the ways in which we understand race, foreign bodies, and identity in a globalizing age that has still not shed deeply ingrained imperialist habits of marking difference.
"Fundamentos das Ginásticas" é uma obra que pretende apoiar os profissionais de educação física e de esporte no aprimoramento de sua atuação e conhecimento sobre as manifestações ginásticas apresentadas. Os capítulos foram elaborados por professores e treinadores que estão envolvidos ativamente no ensino e no estudo destas modalidades. Nosso objetivo não foi apresentar "receitas" de atividades, mas reunir nossa experiência no desenvolvimento dos fundamentos que caracterizam e alicerçam cada ginástica. Assim, esperamos que os profissionais ampliem as propostas de atividades apresentadas, identifiquem as oportunidades de aplicação destes fundamentos e criem experiências cada vez mais enriquecedoras, desafiadoras e atraentes para os praticantes. Ginástica para todos, volteio, ginástica de trampolim, ginástica aeróbica, ginástica rítmica, ginástica acrobática e ginástica artística – cada capítulo procura despertar um novo olhar sobre as possibilidades que as ginásticas têm de atender à diversidade populacional e de contextos e somar ao conteúdo da cultura corporal.
