150 Anos de Futebol

Autor: José Eduardo De Carvalho

Número de Páginas: 473

Em um século e meio de vida, o futebol ajudou a contar a história das sociedades em transformação. Sob o olhar desse jogo simples e ao mesmo tempo magnético foram registrados momentos apaixonantes, trágicos, sublimes e dramáticos. Como um fiel retrato dos povos que o adotaram, o futebol foi testemunha tanto de barbaridades sociais quanto de episódios de júbilo coletivo, sofreu e cometeu injustiças, distribuiu prazeres e êxtase com a mesma desenvoltura com que produziu grandes traumas e pequenas mazelas, mas esteve sempre presente. Não por acaso essa forma original e hábil de competir em grupo ressaltando as individualidades é a única atividade humana de que se tem conhecimento seguida todos os dias da semana, em todas as horas e em qualquer lugar pela bagatela de quatro bilhões de pessoas. Não há fronteiras geográficas nem barreiras sociais para quem goste do jogo. O futebol-espetáculo pode ser caro e inacessível, as entranhas do esporte como negócio podem ser obscuras, como tantas atividades na selva contemporânea, e os mecanismos de controle nem sempre serão pautados pelo bom senso e pela honestidade. Mas, nesta seara, o gostar é livre. Jamais haverá...

Uruguay

Autor: Tim Burford

Número de Páginas: 358

They won the first soccer World Cup. There's a lot of beef raised on the pampa. That's all most people know about Uruguay. Bradt's Uruguay, the only dedicated English-language guide to a country that's small yet bursting with character, shows that the adventurous tourist can uncover much more. It provides in-depth coverage of the capital Montevideo, where the colonial Old City is being restored. There's also detailed information on the coastal city of Colonia (which is on UNESCO's World Heritage List) as well as Punta del Este, to whose beaches the Buenos Aires beautiful crowd flocks each summer. There's advice, too, for active travellers who can rattle their whips on cattle-ranching estancias and spin their sticks in a game of polo or two and for nature enthusiasts keen to watch wildlife in the western wetlands and birds in Cabo Polonio and Santa Teresa. Plus, the book investigates the Brazilian influences behind Uruguay's music and dance, and the country's Afro-Uruguayan culture, most noticeable in Carnaval.

MARGO After an ex-boyfriend told me I'd never be able to run a half marathon, I did what any logical woman would do: I set out to prove him wrong. We're going to pretend like I didn't collapse at the finish line of the race. It's a good thing the hot paramedic caught me before I could fall. It's an even better thing I ran into him at the bar the next night. He might be my ex's dad and sixteen years older than me, but that won't stop me from wanting to enjoy some holiday cheer with the man I can't stop thinking about. FINN I knew who she was when I caught her, but she didn't know who I was. When her initial shock of my identity wore off, she came home with me. I gave her the best night of her life. It makes sense that I found her again at the finish line of another race, and now I'm determined to keep her around for longer than a night. Forget the age gap. Forget her history with my son. She might be the best Christmas present I've ever received, and I'm in no hurry to say goodbye.

Survival

Autor: Vinnie Curto , Dennis N. Griffin

Número de Páginas: 250

A world champion boxer tells his story of struggle and triumph—from his traumatic childhood to life in the ring and Hollywood celebrity. In 1996, at the age of 41, Vinnie Curto won the World Boxing Federation Super Cruiserweight Title. He was on top of the world, but he’d gone through hell to get there. Born in East Boston, Vinnie grew up with a violent father who subjected him to years of horrifying sexual abuse. At age 16, Vinnie escaped by lying about his age and joining the Navy. That decision changed his life—and probably saved it. Vinnie’s success on the Navy boxing team opened the door to a storied career as a professional boxer. He joined the Olympic boxing team, trained with the legendary Angelo Dundee, and rubbed shoulders with mobsters and Hollywood celebrities. With Sylvester Stallone as his manager, Vinnie even started acting in television shows like Miami Vice and Walker, Texas Ranger.

Literary Fictions of the Contemporary Art System

Autor: Carlos Garrido Castellano

Número de Páginas: 218

The main objective of this book is to explain how contemporary literatures in Spanish and Portuguese are dealing with artistic creativity when artmaking is no longer a specialised field of cultural production, but rather an expanded field of socioeconomic interaction, personal and creative self-definition and collective imagination. The project positions the contemporary art novel as the most suitable place to understand how the economisation of cultural labour is affecting writers and artists alike. The authors examined in this book, including José Saramago, Rita Indiana Hernández, María Gainza, Mayra Santos Febres and Ondjaki (amongst others) explore the contradictions of the art market, the dynamics of art education, the multifaceted activity of curators and socially engaged artists in relation to broader debates on the role of culture in the configuration of socioeconomic dynamics. The book maps a new trend within contemporary literature that taps into the visual art system to reassess the role of literature in critical ways.

Trace Metals in Aquatic Systems

Autor: Robert P. Mason

Número de Páginas: 450

This book provides a detailed examination of the concentration, form and cycling of trace metals and metalloids through the aquatic biosphere, and has sections dealing with the atmosphere, the ocean, lakes and rivers. It discusses exchanges at the water interface (air/water and sediment/water) and the major drivers of the cycling, concentration and form of trace metals in aquatic systems. The initial chapters focus on the fundamental principles and modelling approaches needed to understand metal concentration, speciation and fate in the aquatic environment, while the later chapters focus on specific environments, with case studies and research highlights.

The underlying chemical principles controlling toxicity and bioavailability of these elements to microorganisms and to the aquatic food chain are also discussed.
