O jornalista e maratonista Sérgio Xavier Filho perseguiu, durante anos, a Maratona de Boston. Este livro é o relato de sua busca pelo índice, mas também é a história de todos que um dia correram esta maratona e dos que ainda sonham em concluí-la. A corrida em Massachusetts, nos Estados Unidos, tem uma trajetória rica de cenários e personagens, como o empenho de John A. Kelley, a bravura de Kathrine Switzer, a garra de Roberta Gibb, a farsa de Rosie Ruiz, o duelo de Alberto Salazar e Dick Beardsley e a superação após o atentado em 2013. Um livro pessoal, mas também jornalístico, histórico e, acima de tudo, inspirador sobre a maratona mais antiga do mundo, que também é sinônimo de transformação, tradição e sobrevivência.
The aim of this book was to present innovative applications of technology in second language teaching and learning, as well as to explore the transformation of the different techniques to different theoretical frameworks. It has also been desired to have a representation of researchers from different parts of the world as contributors. When the reviewing process was finished, there were nine selected chapters from seven different countries: Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, and Singapore. Thus, the chapters of this book consist of the work of eleven young researchers within the field of net-based language learning. These nine chapters all deal with topical areas of Internet-ba...
“This new edition of one of the masterworks of twentieth-century anthropology is more than welcome…enduringly significant insights.”—Marilyn Strathern, emerita, University of Cambridge In the field of anthropology, few books manage to maintain both historical value and contemporary relevance. Roy Wagner's The Invention of Culture, originally published in 1975, is one that does. Wagner breaks new ground by arguing that culture arises from the dialectic between the individual and the social world. Rooting his analysis in the relationships between invention and convention, innovation and control, and meaning and context, he builds a theory that insists on the importance of creativity, placing people-as-inventors at the heart of the process that creates culture. In an elegant twist, he also shows that this very process ultimately produces the discipline of anthropology itself. Tim Ingold’s foreword to the new edition captures the exhilaration of Wagner’s book while showing how the reader can journey through it and arrive safely—though transformed—on the other side.
Invertebrates perform such vital roles in global ecosystems—and so strongly influence human wellbeing—that biologist E.O. Wilson was prompted to describe them as “little things that run the world.” As they are such powerful shapers of the world around us, their response to global climate change is also pivotal in meeting myriad challenges looming on the horizon—everything from food security and biodiversity to human disease control. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the latest scientific knowledge and contemporary theory relating to global climate change and terrestrial invertebrates. Featuring contributions from top international experts, this book explores how change...
