Este livro não só ensina a ler e escrever artigos, mas também como agir eticamente num mundo científico caracterizado pela pressão em publicar." César A. D. Teixeira, Ph.D. pela Universidade do Algarve, Portugal. Prof. da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal. "Este livro oferece uma ampla bandeja de recursos e sugestões para alguém que deseja apresentar os resultados de suas pesquisas e demonstrar sua relevância. Trata também da importância de se criar uma relação de confiança e respeito entre leitor e autor. Como um bônus, desperta em quem o lê o desejo de escrever, e escrever melhor." Marco Antonio von Krüger, Ph.D. pela University of Leicester, Inglaterra. Prof. da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. "A ciência precisa de pessoas que gostem de contar o que fizeram em seus estudos. Pesquisar não é tarefa fácil. Escrever, menos ainda. Esta obra vem mostrar o passo a passo para uma escrita envolvente e que cative os leitores." Renato C. Teixeira, D.Sc. pela Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. Pró-reitor de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação da Universidade do Estado do Pará (2017 - 2021), Brasil. Fazer ciência é mais importante do que publicar, mas publicar é uma forma didática e eficiente de difundir os achados. Muitas vezes, quando os artigos são escritos e até mesmo publicados, não ganham a devida visibilidade na comunidade científica e entre o público leigo por terem sido escritos de forma inadequada. Não apenas o autor perde, mas também a sociedade como um todo. A fim de quebrar o paradigma de que escrever artigos científicos bem-sucedidos é uma tarefa complicada, restrita a um grupo seleto, Aldo Fontes-Pereira apresenta nesta obra um método inovador e de fácil assimilação que tornará o processo de escrita, publicação e divulgação de artigos muito mais fluido e produtivo. Fruto de muitos anos de aulas, experiência editorial, orientações, pesquisas, entrevistas com editores, revisores e autores de artigos científicos de sucesso, este livro serve como referência para que todos os pesquisadores possam difundir seus achados de modo mais eficaz. Destaques do livro: 1.Não pesquisamos para publicar, publicamos porque pesquisamos. 2.O método, as dicas e as recomendações apresentadas neste livro orientarão você a escrever TCC, dissertação de mestrado, tese de doutorado ou artigo científico para uma revista sem perder dias escrevendo e sem o estresse que garante apenas lágrimas de desespero. 3.Aprender a ler corretamente artigos científicos contribuirá para o crescimento profissional, formação científica sólida e para você escrever bons artigos. 4.Um artigo de sucesso precisa ser escrito de forma lógica, ordenada e com ritmo. A falta de ritmo é a principal causa da desistência da leitura do artigo. 3.A publicação científica é um dos melhores métodos didáticos para divulgar uma grande informação que ajudará a sociedade. 5.Escrever um artigo científico contribuirá muito para que você se torne autoridade na sua área de atuação. Desfrute da leitura deste livro ainda hoje e se prepare para ver o seu nome como autor de um artigo científico de sucesso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the role of journalists in science communication, this book presents a perspective on how this is going to evolve in the twenty-first century. The book takes three distinct perspectives on this interesting subject. Firstly, science journalists reflect on their ‘operating rules’ (science news values and news making routines). Secondly, a brief history of science journalism puts things into context, characterising the changing output of science writing in newspapers over time. Finally, the book invites several international journalists or communication scholars to comment on these observations thereby opening the global perspective. This unique project will interest a range of readers including science communication students, media studies scholars, professionals working in science communication and journalists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. Harm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely—the majority of users—reduce the harmful consequences of use. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal and criterion of success. Instead, smaller incremental changes in the direction of reduced harmfulness of drug use are accepted. This book will show how these simple changes in emphasis and expectation have dramatic implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy in many ways. From the Foreword by Alan Marlatt, Ph.D.: “This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. In his introduction, Andrew Tatarsky describes harm reduction as a new paradigm for treating drug and alcohol problems. Some would say that harm reduction embraces a paradigm shift in addiction treatment, as it has moved the field beyond the traditional abstinence-only focus typically associated with the disease model and the ideology of the twelve-step approach. Others may conclude that the move toward harm reduction represents an integration of what Dr. Tatarsky describes as the “basic principles of good clinical practice” into the treatment of addictive behaviors. “Changing addiction behavior is often a complex and complicated process for both client and therapist. What seems to work best is the development of a strong therapeutic alliance, the right fit between the client and treatment provider. The role of the harm reduction therapist is closer to that of a guide, someone who can provide support an

Bernath Book Prize, Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations Winner of the James H. Broussard Best First Book Prize, Society for Historians of the Early American Republic Winner of the North Jersey Civil War Round Table Book Award Finalist for the Harriet Tubman Prize, Lapidus Center for the Historical Analysis of Transatlantic Slavery When the United States emerged as a world power in the years before the Civil War, the men who presided over the nation’s triumphant territorial and economic expansion were largely southern slaveholders. As presidents, cabinet officers, and diplomats, slaveholding leaders controlled the main levers of foreign policy inside an increasingly powerful American state. This Vast Southern Empire explores the international vision and strategic operations of these southerners at the commanding heights of American politics. “At the close of the Civil War, more than Southern independence and the bones of the dead lay amid the smoking ruins of the Confederacy. Also lost was the memory of the prewar decades, when Southern politicians and pro-slavery ambitions shaped the foreign policy of the United States in order to protect slavery at home and advance its interests abroad. With This Vast Southern Empire, Matthew Karp recovers that forgotten history and presents it in fascinating and often surprising detail.” —Fergus Bordewich, Wall Street Journal “Matthew Karp’s illuminating book This Vast Southern Empire shows that the South was interested not only in gaining new slave territory but also in promoting slavery throughout the Western Hemisphere.” —David S. Reynolds, New York Review of Books

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the theoretical and empirical status of applied ethics, this volume demonstrates how a pluralistic and democratic society can deal with ethical issues in the light of its moral conscience. The volume first sets the stage for a conception of applied ethics as applications of transnational civil ethics, based both on a discourse theory of knowledge (Apel, Habermas), and on an activities and capabilities approach (Aristotle, Sen). It then examines how applied ethics relates to important theoretical discussions in philosophy such as constructivism, virtue ethics, hermeneutic and deliberative theory. The contributors discuss applied ethics in light of globalization and identify recurring dilemmas as well as the problem of universal norms. They close by considering two aspects of the institutional point of view - republicanism, and contractarianism and constitutional economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * What are the latest developments in the production, representation and reception of media output, produced by, for or about ethnic minorities? * What informs the questions media researchers ask and pursue when examining the mass media and ethnic minorities? * What are the principal forces of change currently shaping the field? There are few media issues more pressing, or potentially more consequential, than the representation of ethnic minorities. This authoritative text therefore brings together leading international researchers who have examined some of the latest processes of change (and continuity) informing the field of ethnic minorities and the media. Numerous studies of 'race', racism and the mass media have been conducted in the past. However, both the media landscape and the cultural field of ethnic minorities are fast changing, and this book addresses the recent developments which have threatened to outpace our ability to map, understand and intervene in processes of change. Presented in an accessible style, this book provides the reader with an overview of the very latest research findings and informed discussion. It opens with an introductory essay which maps recent approaches to the field, followed by substantive chapters which are structured thematically to address key processes of change such as media representations, media production, and cultures of identity.

Book excerpt: In this study of the Ndembu of Zambia, ritual is examined under two aspects: as a regulator of social relations over time and as a system of symbols. Social life is thereby given direction and meaning. An extended case-study of a series of ritual performances in the life of a single village community is analysed in order to estimate the effects of participation in these symbolic events on its component groups and personalities.

Book excerpt: An examination of software practice in Brazil that reveals both the globalization and the localization of software development. Software development would seem to be a quintessential example of today's Internet-enabled “knowledge work”—a global profession not bound by the constraints of geography. In Coding Places, Yuri Takhteyev looks at the work of software developers who inhabit two contexts: a geographical area—in this case, greater Rio de Janeiro—and a “world of practice,” a global system of activities linked by shared meanings and joint practice. The work of the Brazilian developers, Takhteyev discovers, reveals a paradox of the world of software: it is both diffuse and sharply centralized. The world of software revolves around a handful of places—in particular, the San Francisco Bay area—that exercise substantial control over both the material and cultural elements of software production. Takhteyev shows how in this context Brazilian software developers work to find their place in the world of software and to bring its benefits to their city. Takhteyev's study closely examines Lua, an open source programming language developed in Rio but used in such internationally popular products as World of Warcraft and Angry Birds. He shows that Lua had to be separated from its local origins on the periphery in order to achieve success abroad. The developers, Portuguese speakers, used English in much of their work on Lua. By bringing to light the work that peripheral practitioners must do to give software its seeming universality, Takhteyev offers a revealing perspective on the not-so-flat world of globalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethical Reporting of Sensitive Topics explores the underlying complexities that journalists may face when covering difficult news stories. Reporting on issues such as suicide, sexual abuse, or migration is a skill that is often glossed over in a journalist’s education. By combining theory and practice, this collection will correct this oversight and give journalists the expertise and understanding to report on these subjects responsibly and ethically. Contributors to this volume are an international group of journalists-turned- academics, who share their first-hand experiences and unique professional insight into best ethical journalistic practice for reporting on sensitive topics. Drawing from a range of case studies, contributors discuss the most appropriate approach to, for example, describing a shooter who has killed a group of schoolchildren or interviewing someone who has lost everything in a natural disaster. Readers are invited to consider factors which have the potential to influence the reporting of these sorts of topics, including bias, sensationalism, conflict of interest, grief, vulnerability, and ignorance of one’s own privilege. Ethical Reporting of Sensitive Topics aims to support all journalists, from students of journalism and individuals encountering a newsroom for the first time, to those veteran journalists or specialist journalists who seek to better their reporting skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about designing, programming, and developing with the popular new Texas Instruments family of microcontrollers, the MSP430 series with this new book from Chris Nagy. This product line is experiencing explosive growth due to its low-power consumption and powerful features, but very little design and application information is available other than what is offered by the manufacturer. The book fills a gap in the technical literature for embedded systems engineers by offering a more complete combination of technical data, example code, and descriptive prose than is available from the manufacturer reference information, and is useful to both professionals and hobbyists.Intended for embedded engineers who are new to the embedded field, or for the thousands of engineers who have experience with other microcontrollers (such as PICs, 8051s, or Motorola HC0x devices) but are new to the MSP430 line, Chris Nagy offers a thorough and practical description of the device features, gives development guidelines, and provides design examples. Code examples are used in virtually every chapter and online. The book is divided into three sections: the first section provides detailed descriptions of the devices themselves; the second describes hardware/firmware development for the devices; the third is designed to incorporate information from the first two, and provide guidelines and examples of designs. - Get up-to-speed on the TI MSP430 product family's features and idiosyncrasies - A 'hand-holding' reference to help get started on designs
