A Ciência vem oferecendo, ao longo dos séculos, uma inegável e cara contribuição para a humanidade em várias áreas, como as sociais, exatas, humanas e biológicas e da saúde. Têm sido inúmeros e visíveis, no cotidiano de boa parte da sociedade, os avanços resultantes das investigações científicas realizadas no âmbito das universidades e dos institutos de pesquisa e, ainda assim, temos enfrentado um poderoso movimento obscurantista, contrário à razão e ao progresso intelectual, que nega evidências do aquecimento global, da curvatura da terra, dos benefícios da vacina, entre outros. Para reafirmar a imprescindibilidade da Ciência, da força do conhecimento para a construção de um mundo mais humano, esclarecido e autossustentável, reunimos nesta publicação textos de professores e pesquisadores da PUC Minas e de instituições de ensino superior e de pesquisa que integram a Rede Mineira de Comunicação Científica.

This collection of photographs is not a pictorial history of the Colony of Natal - it is essentially an entertainment; glimpses of the activities and events in the daily lives of ordinary people. While this book does not claim to be a pictorial history, photographs from the past are part of the historical record and, while some pictures are complete in what they depict, others need some background historical knowledge to be fully appreciated. Therefore the book provides a brief outline of some of the more important events in the history of the colony. They have been given at intervals in the book and it is hoped that they will serve to remind readers of the events of the period covered by the photographs. Secondly where possible a caption has been used against each photograph and a quotation by a contemporary or authoritative author.
