Muitos s o os tipos de estrada. De asfalto, de terra, de lama, de pedra, de areia, de ar. Todas essas vias s o velhas conhecidas de Danilo Perrotti Machado, em suas inusitadas excurs es pelo mundo. J atravessou 59 pa ses com sua bike e, em seguida, ofereceu-nos um caminho de palavras, o livro "Homem Livre: ao redor do mundo sobre uma bicicleta", uma estrada que deu aos leitores a oportunidade de viajar com ele por tantos lugares e sentir as emo es pelas quais passou em sua travessia.Agora, neste novo livro Homem livre: da Mong lia aos Rios da Amaz nia, ap s uma breve experi ncia com cavalos nas long nquas estepes da Mong lia, ele nos leva para os caminhos de gua dos Rios da Amaz nia. Um relato que, sem d vida, desperta no leitor a vontade de viajar pela maior floresta do planeta. Do encantamento com a abund ncia das paisagens decep o com as dragas de extra o que poluem os rios, o viajante nos apresenta as for as da natureza em todos os momentos, enquanto reflete sobre de onde vem, para onde vai e qual o seu papel como pequena gota no rio da vida. Em "Homem Livre: da Mong lia aos rios da Amaz nia", o leitor conduzido por uma viagem ousada - fruto de organiza o, disciplina e coragem - em uma aventura que, assim como as ondas dos rios, acaba e recome a a cada p gina. Uma narrativa desenhada com a leveza de uma conversa, com passagens sedutoras, desafiantes e, principalmente, a poesia de uma jornada existencial. Um convite ao leitor para abandonar seu mundo de rotinas, lan ar-se tamb m pelas guas da Amaz nia e encontrar, talvez, como o viajante, seu equil brio interior. Lugares que revelam a magnitude da natureza, a infinita pulsa o do universo e a presen a grandiosa de Deus, nos pratos de comida que os ribeirinhos oferecem, nas guas que matam a sede e nas bananas e melancias que ado am as remadas. L na Amaz nia, outro o tempo. Sobre o caiaque, outro o espa o. A dist ncia entre os lugares mede-se pelos dias, e n o pelas horas, j que os ponteiros s o as chuvas, os ventos e as ondas dos rios, ora tortuosas, ora calmas, a ponto de se transformarem em uma rede l quida, onde o viajante reflete sobre sua presen a na floresta - na vida - e compactua, com os elementos da paisagem, sua imensa alegria de conquistar-se e conquistar o mundo.Jorge Ant nio Ribeiro Sobre o autor: Danilo nasceu em Belo Horizonte, em 1981. Produtor de cinema, fot grafo e explorador, realizou uma viagem de bicicleta ao redor do mundo por 59 pa ses, durante 3 anos, 3 meses e 3 dias. D palestras sobre suas experi ncias, produz conte do para tev e revistas e autor do Livro Homem Livre: ao redor do Mundo sobre uma bicicleta, lan ado em 2015. Exibiu no cinema e nas tev s do Brasil, na It lia e Inglaterra o document rio de longa-metragem HOMEM LIVRE, que relata a sua jornada pelo Globo Terrestre. Em 2017, realizou duas expedi es: Mong lia a cavalo e travessia dos Rios da Amaz nia. Sobre estas experi ncias, acaba de lan ar seu novo livro Homem Livre: da Mong lia aos Rios da Amaz nia.
This book presents a historical and scientific analysis as historical epistemology of the science of weights and mechanics in the sixteenth century, particularly as developed by Tartaglia in his Quesiti et inventioni diverse, Book VII and Book VIII (1546; 1554). In the early 16th century mechanics was concerned mainly with what is now called statics and was referred to as the Scientia de ponderibus, generally pursued by two very different approaches. The first was usually referred to as Aristotelian, where the equilibrium of bodies was set as a balance of opposite tendencies to motion. The second, usually referred to as Archimedean, identified statics with centrobarica, the theory of centres of gravity based on symmetry considerations. In between the two traditions the Italian scholar Niccolò Fontana, better known as Tartaglia (1500?–1557), wrote the treatise Quesiti et inventioni diverse (1546).This volume consists of three main parts. In the first, a historical excursus regarding Tartaglia’s lifetime, his scientific production and the Scientia de ponderibus in the Arabic-Islamic culture, and from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, is presented. Secondly, all the propositions of Books VII and VIII, by relating them with the Problemata mechanica by the Aristotelian school and Iordani opvsculvm de ponderositate by Jordanus de Nemore are examined within the history and historical epistemology of science. The last part is relative to the original texts and critical transcriptions into Italian and Latin and an English translation. This work gathers and re-evaluates the current thinking on this subject. It brings together contributions from two distinguished experts in the history and historical epistemology of science, within the fields of physics, mathematics and engineering. It also gives much-needed insight into the subject from historical and scientific points of view. The volume composition makes for absorbing reading for historians, epistemologists, philosophers and scientists.

This book provides a comprehensive and systematic framework for the design of adaptive architectures, which take advantage of the available a priori information to enhance the detection performance. Moreover, this framework also provides guidelines to develop decision schemes capable of estimating the target position within the range bin. To this end, the readers are driven step-by-step towards those aspects that have to be accounted for at the design stage, starting from the exploitation of system and/or environment information up to the use of target energy leakage (energy spillover), which allows inferring on the target position within the range cell under test.In addition to design issues, this book presents an extensive number of illustrative examples based upon both simulated and real-recorded data. Moreover, the performance analysis is enriched by considerations about the trade-off between performances and computational requirements.Finally, thisbook could be a valuable resource for PhD students, researchers, professors, and, more generally, engineers working on statistical signal processing and its applications to radar systems.

A beautifully illustrated look at the works of Anni Albers with a focus on the architectural dimensions of her work Anni Albers (1899–1994) has long been revered as a trailblazing weaver, textile designer, and visual artist; she also was an insightful and eloquent writer, and her books On Designing and On Weaving are canonical writings in design history. Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles explores the ideas of materiality, construction, and architecture across her body of work, establishing her legacy as a thinker, theoretician, and innovator. The book’s essays include essential writings by Albers herself on the making and meaning of textiles, as well as new pieces by Glenn Adamson on her relationship to architecture, Karis Medina on the material and technique of her weavings, Amy Jean Porter on her writing, and Jeffrey Saletnik on East Asian influences in Albers’s work and thinking. Among the book’s hundreds of beautifully reproduced images are works held in private collections that have never before been published. An essential volume in the literature about modernism, this book reinforces Albers’s position as a leading figure in twentieth-century art.

Danilov . . . is a preeminent authority on museums. According to Danilov, visits to science-related museums constitute 38 to 45 percent of all visits to museums in the U.S. . . . At the beginning of each section there is an introduction describing the history of that particular type of museum. Museum entries vary from about one-half page to two pages in length. A typical entry provides a history of the museum and description of the collection. . . . America's Science Museums is a well-designed book that can be recommended to all public and academic libraries. Reference Books BulletinScience museums, although they comprise less than 20 percent of the nearly 7,000 cultural institutions known as museums in the United States, have become America's most popular type of museum. From New Bedford to Waikiki, America's Science Museums assesses the nations scientific and technological museums and related institutions, examining their histories, operations, and offerings. This reference volume looks at the many different types of such institutions, including some that are not called museums but that are museum-like in their operations such as aquariums, botanical gardens, arboretums, planetariums, and zoos. In addition, some related facilities, such as marinelife and wildlife parks, and research sites with visitor centers, such as observatories and NASA space centers, are included. Most of the museums described in the twelve sections of this unique, comprehensive guide were selected because of their stature in the field, while others were included because of their age, specialty, or novelty. Overall, the museums detailed here represent a cross-section of the rapidly expanding science museum field, and they illustrate why science museums have become so popular and instrumental in furthering science literacy across the U.S.The book's twelve sections focus on aquariums, marine museums, and marine-life parks; aviation and space museums; botanical gardens, conservatories, and arboretums; industrial history museums; maritime and naval museums; medical and health museums; natural history museums; planetariums and observatories; science and technology centers; transport, automobile, and railway museums; zoos and wildlife parks; and other science/technology museums. Thorough descriptions of the 480 museums and related institutions provide comparative information on the nature, development, facilities, collections and offerings of each. An ideal reference for college courses dealing with the history, philosophy, collections, exhibits, operations, and management of museums and for other researchers seeking background information and insight into the special merits of the leading institutions in the fields of science and technology.
