A partir da análise de textos produzidos por alunos do ensino médio, o livro Repensando a escrita, de Magali Lopes Endruweit, investiga minuciosamente as dimensões da escrita, apresentando uma perspectiva de escrita com foco na enunciação, bem como revelando as expressões de autoria de quem escreve. Organizada em cinco capítulos muito bem estruturados e objetivos, a obra, sendo voltada para linguistas e professores de Português, trata do entendimento da escrita considerando o enfoque enunciativo e uma perspectiva de escrita incluída em práticas escolares.
Este não é um livro sobre política. E "O Quereres" de Caetano Veloso não é uma canção sobre o Brasil, necessariamente. Mas, sendo uma canção de Caetano Veloso, é Brasil por excelência. Lançada em tempos de Diretas Já, a canção é revisitada em tempos de "conheceis a verdade". Ainda hoje, Caetano parece nos relembrar que a "verdade" é desejo, transitando identidades e contextos, ainda que os donos do poder insistam em nos impor sua versão fundamentalista da realidade. Como veremos no decorrer do livro, cabe um universo dentro desta canção, onde Caetano parece apreender a própria linguagem para tratar do desejo, mesclando estilos.

This book is about the more than 4,000 beach systems that form most of the 9000 km long Brazilian coast. It focuses on the beaches of each of the seventeen coastal states and three oceanic islands, their nature, morphodynamics and status. It is a must for anyone who wants to know more about this great coast and its beach systems. This is the first book ever written about the beach systems of Brazil, and actually the very first about the beaches of an entire country. The Brazilian coast extends from the mighty Amazon River and its muddy shores in the north to one of the world’s longest sandy beaches in the southern Rio Grande do Sul. It contains every beach type from wave to tide-dominated which range in size from small embayed beaches to long barrier beaches. The book is written by leading Brazilian academics and researchers and aims at the university level market, as well as coastal scientists, engineers and managers. Standard scientific terminology is used to describe the coast and its beaches. It is illustrated with more than 400 original figures and serves as a benchmark text on the Brazilian coast.
This book gathers the proceedings of MEDICON 2019 – the XV Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing – which was held in September 26-28, 2019, in Coimbra, Portugal. A special emphasis has been given to practical findings, techniques and methods, aimed at fostering an effective patient empowerment, i.e. to position the patient at the heart of the health system and encourages them to be actively involved in managing their own healthcare needs. The book reports on research and development in electrical engineering, computing, data science and instrumentation, and on many topics at the interface between those disciplines. It provides academics and professionals with extensive knowledge on cutting-edge techniques and tools for detection, prevention, treatment and management of diseases. A special emphasis is given to effective advances, as well as new directions and challenges towards improving healthcare through holistic patient empowerment.

Welcome to the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents, held September 14–16, 2009 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) are interactive characters that exhibit hum- like qualities and communicate with humans or with each other using natural human modalities such as speech and gesture. They are capable of real-time perception, cognition and action, allowing them to participate in a dynamic physical and social environment. IVA is an interdisciplinary annual conference and the main forum for p- senting research on modeling, developing and evaluating IVAs with a focus on communicative abilities and social behavior. The developme...
This book "introduces the major theories, approaches and controversies in the field. [It] gathers together influential readings from key names in the discipline, including: John Swales, Alastair Pennycook, Greg Myers, Brian Street and Ann Johns. [It] provides numerous exercises as practical study tools that encourage in students a critical approach to the subject. Written by an experienced teacher and researcher in the field, 'English for academic purposes' is an essential resource for students and researchers of applied linguisitics." - back cover.
