Instrumentos Matemáticos complexos permitiram realizar com sucesso tarefas tão distintas como a programação de um voo a Marte, a previsão de resultados eleitorais, a explicação do funcionamento de alguns mecanismos do sistema nervoso, ou a abordagem crítica de obras de arte e de textos literários. Da Ciência à Sociedade, dos grandes avanços técnicos à solidez de uma argumentação lógica, a Matemática constrói Teias de uma imensa flexibilidade resultante do carácter universal da sua linguagem. Neste livro personalidades de diferentes universos dão o seu testemunho sobre a forma como usam as Teias Matemáticas para tecer a sua própria visão do mundo.

La conclusion de este trabajo de critica social es que las conductas de consumo en las sociedades de economia capitalista tienen su origen en un caracter social inconsciente y colectivo. Este caracter es el nucleo central de un sistema basado en una estimulacion sistemica del consumo, que conduce a la humanidad hacia una crisis global de sostenibilidad. Esta crisis tendra una gravedad dificil de imaginar, y pondra en jaque nuestro progreso y el bienestar a nivel global. La via mas eficaz para prevenir y amortiguar sus efectos es la desactivacion acelerada del caracter consumista. Esta desactivacion pasa por impulsar con fuerza procesos emergentes de cambio, en el ambito de la ciudadania, de la politica y de la gestion empresarial, cambios que ayudaran a conducir a la sociedad por la via de la liberacion de la alienacion consumista y a devolver a las personas no solo su condicion de ciudadanos eticos, sino tambien el poder politico que el sistema ha puesto en manos de las empresas y los mercados.

A landmark in the study of early modern Europe, this two-volume collection makes available for the first time a selection of the most important texts from court and civic festival books. Festival entertainments were presented to mark such occasions as royal and ducal entries to capital cities, dynastic marriages, the birth and christening of heirs, religious feasts and royal and ducal funerals. Europa Triumphans represents the chronological and trans-European range of the court and civic festival. These festivals are considered not simply as texts, but as events, and are introduced by groups of scholars, each with a specialist knowledge of the political, social and cultural significance of the festival and of the iconography, spectacle, music, dance, voice and gesture in which they were expressed. To demonstrate the geographic spread and political significance of festivals, and to illustrate the range of aesthetic languages they deploy, the festivals included in these two volumes are grouped in the following sections: Henri III; Genoa; Poland-Lithuania; The Netherlands; The Protestant Union; La Rochelle; Scandinavia; and The New World. These texts provide many valuable insights into the variety of political systems and historical circumstances that formed them. Beautifully produced with 148 black-and-white and 23 colour illustrations, Europa Triumphans represents an invaluable reference source for the study of early modern Europe. It presents texts both in transcription and translated into English, and is supplemented with introductory essays and commentaries. Europa Triumphans is co-published by Ashgate and the Modern Humanities Research Association, in conjunction with the AHRB Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at the University of Warwick, UK.

This fourth volume in the new multi-volume set Global Biodiversity is a rich resource on the biodiversity of a selection of countries in the Americas and in Australia. Chapters explore both wild and cultivated plants, wild and domesticated animals, and the variety of microbes of the countries of Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Australia, Paraguay, the United States, and Venezuela. The different chapters explore the geographical status, ecosystem diversity, species diversity, genetic diversity, and conservation efforts in each selected country. They focus on genetic diversity of crop plants/cultivated plants and domesticated animals and their wild relatives and also discuss the endangered and protected plants and animals of the respective counties. Other volumes in this series include coverage of selected countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa. The volumes provide an informative compilation on the variety and variability of life in the regions discussed and will help to fill the gap in knowledge while also encouraging the conservation of biodiversity and sustainable utilization.
