        Ready, Rocket, Go!

        by Estevão Azevedo

        This is a book that uses childhood´s playful universe to tell a fun story, whose text, book design and illustrations provide the perfect mix of reality and fantasy. This is the story of little Iolanda who, in her backyard, with objects and furniture creates a universe of fantasy and imagination and experiences great adventures. Ready, Rocket, Go! subtly plays with the idea of accumulation as depicted in Ana Matsusaki´s illustrations, which show how Iolanda piles up objects one on top of the other to give life to a rocket. The book´s special touch lies in the representation of reality X fantasy: reality is portrayed by “real images” and “children´s drawings” in the daily illustrations, while fantasy is shown in the night pictures.

        The Adventures of a Dog Named Petit

        by Heloisa Prieto

        Together we are stronger. Being able to count on a support network to overcome adversity is what makes us stronger and able to go further. The Adventures of a Dog Named Petit tells the story of sisters Olivia and Alice and of the family´s new pet dog, Petit. Told from Olivia´s point of view, the story shows how a family´s love, the school´s welcoming embrace and, particularly, the arrival of the dog, will help Alice grow and deal with the difficulties of autism.In a playful and subtle say, the book provides very important and deep reflections about emotions and the process of developing an identity, and how this relates to being different, and valuing human diversity to promote inclusion. Maria Eugênia´s illustrations are at once delicate and lively, just right for a text that addresses a serious theme such as that of children with special needs in a light and optimistic tone.

        Educação popular em saúde: Desafios atuais

        by Cruz, Pedro José Santos Carneiro

        A presente obra pretende ser uma contribuição para uma série de movimentos reflexivos por aqueles(as) que constroem a Educação Popular em Saúde no país em seus diferentes cenários e contextos, seja nos serviços de saúde, nos centros de ensino e pesquisa, nos movimentos sociais ou na gestão das políticas públicas sociais. No cenário contemporâneo é imprescindível perguntar: em que medida as práticas da Educação Popular em Saúde estão produzindo reflexões e atitudes concretas para a luta pelos direitos sociais e humanos em nosso país, de modo que eles não sejam diminuídos, nem extintos? Quais têm sido os obstáculos para que tais práticas possam lutar contra a instituição e implementação de políticas e leis que possam vir a comprometer, se não a retirar, direitos socialmente e historicamente conquistados pela classe trabalhadora e seus aliados nesse país, bem como combater iniquidades e injustiças sociais historicamente construídas em nosso continente? É então fundamental novas perspectivas e novos olhares para o campo da Educação Popular em Saúde e suas várias interfaces, compartilhando de outras experiências e desvelando as diferentes possibilidades e obstáculos que vão se revelando na prática. Isso deve ser pensado para que as práticas de EPS sejam permanentemente qualificadas e possam avançar consistentemente na construção de alternativas para os principais desafios colocados ao Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

        Siblings

        by Patricia Auerbach

        Who has never felt curious about how a youngest child feels towards his siblings? What about the responsibilities of the eldest? How about the middle child, might he be forgotten? This incredible book has come to satisfy our curiosity. With a very light hand, and a fun and creative approach, Siblings portrays the pleasures and displeasures that are typical of each age and the position occupied in the family. Texts and images work together harmoniously and are complemented by Roberta Asse´s rich illustrations, which use techniques such as collage, textures, high contrast photographs and lettering. What´s more: the enchanting graphic design splits the book into three parts of different heights, according to the size of each child, mounted in the shape of an accordion, which provides a tactile experience that will captivate children and improve the understanding of the content.

        Exploring Commonalities Across Diseases: Workshop Summary

        by Miriam Davis and Clare Stroud, Rapporteurs; Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders; Board on Health Sciences Policy; Institute of Medicine

        Neurodegeneration: Exploring Commonalities Across Diseases is the summary of a workshop hosted by the Institute of Medicine\'s (IOM\'s) Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders in Spring 2012 to explore commonalities across neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Participants from academia; pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; government agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA); patient advocacy groups; and private foundations presented and identified potential opportunities for collaboration across the respective research and development communities. This report identifies and discusses commonalities related to genetic and cellular mechanisms, identifies areas of fundamental science needed to facilitate therapeutics development, and explores areas of potential collaboration among the respective research communities. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer\'s disease, Parkinson\'s disease, ALS, and FTD, are becoming increasingly prevalent in the United States due to an aging population. Implications are grave for quality of life and health care costs. Research on neurodegenerative diseases has expanded greatly over the past four decades. Nevertheless, fundamental questions remain about the biology of these diseases, and further insights into the mechanisms of these diseases would help to inform the development of effective means to prevent and to efficiently treat them. Recent findings have revealed certain commonalities in genetic and cellular mechanisms across neurodegenerative diseases. These findings suggest that it might be valuable - at least in some cases - to change the traditional way of studying these diseases by no longer seeing each as an independent entity, but rather as clinical variants of common cellular and molecular biological defects. This approach could help enhance basic scientific understanding of neurodegenerative disease, and could help with the development of biomarkers and new therapeutics.

        Corpo da multidão: Dança e políticas públicas

        by Moura, Gilsamar

        Num período no qual a Dança conquistava o valor de sua especificidade no Brasil, oportunizada pelo apogeu nas políticas culturais federais, Araraquara, cidade do interior Paulista, era cenário de mudanças profundas e transformadoras, caracterizadas por ações específicas do poder público, que resultaram em novas formas de relação entre Estado e Sociedade. Sob os preceitos da Democracia Participativa, agentes culturais e políticos promoveram a reorganização da Cultura na cidade e, a Dança, de forma transgressora, se efetivou como Política Pública. Este livro de Gilsamara Moura transcende a narrativa histórica-evolutiva dos projetos de dança implementados na cidade de Araraquara a partir da articulação de diversas redes amparadas pela Educação e pela Cultura. Ele é, sobretudo, um documento político de uma época, um replicador do desenvolvimento da dança, desde o lugar que habitamos. — Kranya V. Díaz-Serrano

        Teatro e universidade

        by Gonçalves, Jean Carlos

        Mikhail Bakhtin, filósofo literário, cujos estudos são geralmente associados ao Carnaval e ao Diálogo, foi uma figura solitária que trabalhou, sobretudo em seu ateliê. Jean Carlos Gonçalves nos apresenta um livro em que as ideias de Bakhtin sobre o Diálogo e a Educação são retiradas de um estúdio sombrio para um estúdio bem iluminado, e ali, são convidadas ao jogo. Bakhtin escreveu sobre ideias em interlocução na ágora (o fórum público), mas nesta obra vemos Jean Gonçalves propondo um espaço real, mais do que apenas teórico, onde ensino e aprendizagem se constituem enquanto acontecimento. De certo modo, o ateliê de Gonçalves nos leva de volta às raízes do ver e do pensar, do teatro e da teoria: no grego antigo, ??????? (theasthai) [olhar ou contemplar]. Aqui, nesse estúdio iluminado por vozes da cena e da pedagogia, nos é ofertada uma nova forma de olhar/contemplar o ensino e a aprendizagem no contexto de formação superior em Teatro. — DICK MCCAW, Professor do Departamento de Drama e Teatro da Royal Holloway, University of London

        Pedagoginga, autonomia e mocambagem

        by da Rosa, Allan

        “Pedagoginga, Autonomia e Mocambagem" harmonizes with some very important spheres: the philosophical, historical and contextualized attention on what was conventionally called black cultures; the consistent implementation of the teaching of history and culture of these matrices from African sources and heads, black feet and hands, the sweaty dream of an autonomous popular education movement on the outskirts of São Paulo at the beginning of the 21st century. pillars, challenges and also contradictions, and with this perspective, he invites the reader to reflect on the educational practice, so the author presents a new pedagogical proposal, new but twisted to ancestral aesthetics and fundamentals, which implies the autonomy of educators and students , as well as a genuine commitment to Afro-Brazilian culture. Here is a book of reflections, doubts, slides and nin hos on a practice of years in Popular Education whose motto is the experience of organizing and implementing independent courses in our peripheries in São Paulo, focused on the black experience of yesterday, the future, today and that of so many lines, spirals and balls of the time that we weave. The book is part of the Insurgências Collection, which was born with the aim of sharing and revolving reflections and practices committed to different ways of thinking about the world, relationships, ways of learning and teaching.

        Práticas lúdicas na formação vocal em teatro

        by Pereira, Eugênio Tadeu

        A formação vocal do estudante de teatro e, por extensão, a exploração dos recursos vocais de todos os que se interessam pelas artes da cena e pela educação estética e artística vêm à tona neste trabalho. Elementos centrais no fazer teatral, a escuta de si e do outro, a apropriação de parâmetros musicais, a relação entre o corpo como um todo e a emissão da voz são aqui focalizados detalhada e cuidadosamente. De modo original, a incerteza intrínseca ao lúdico é enfatizada pelo autor como caminho fértil para conduzir essa aprendizagem. O jogo tradicional, patrimônio cultural transmitido oralmente e partilhado pelas diferentes gerações constitui nesta obra o principal vetor da ampliação das capacidades vocais. A disponibilidade para o jogo abre as portas para a descoberta das possibilidades vocais de todos aqueles que se dispuserem a essa aventura.
