Luiz Gama
Luiz Gama
Não faríamos favor algum a Luiz Gama se o comparássemos a Zumbi dos Palmares na disposição de luta que teve contra a escravidão. Filho de uma guerreira negra, Luiza Mahin, e de um senhor de engenho, Gama é protagonista de uma das mais interessantes histórias de vida, que tem como pano de fundo a presença negra no Brasil. Esta obra faz parte da Coleção Retratos do Brasil Negro, coordenada por Vera Lúcia Benedito, mestre e doutora em Sociologia/Estudos Urbanos pela Michigan State University (EUA) e pesquisadora e consultora da Secretaria de Estado da Cultura de São Paulo. O objetivo da Coleção é abordar a vida e a obra de figuras fundamentais da cultura, da política e da militância negra.

Big Data
Big Data
Big Data is a concept of major relevance in today’s world, sometimes highlighted as a key asset for productivity growth, innovation, and customer relationship, whose popularity has increased considerably during the last years. Areas like smart cities, manufacturing, retail, finance, software development, environment, digital media, among others, can benefit from the collection, storage, processing, and analysis of Big Data, leveraging unprecedented data-driven workflows and considerably improved decision-making processes. The concept of a Big Data Warehouse (BDW) is emerging as either an augmentation or a replacement of the traditional Data Warehouse (DW), a concept that has a long history as one of the most valuable enterprise data assets. Nevertheless, research in Big Data Warehousing is still in its infancy, lacking an integrated and validated approach for designing and implementing both the logical layer (data models, data flows, and interoperability between components) and the physical layer (technological infrastructure) of these complex systems. This book addresses models and methods for designing and implementing Big Data Systems to support mixed and complex decision processes, giving special attention to BDWs as a way of efficiently storing and processing batch or streaming data for structured or semi-structured analytical problems.

Cabello de ángel
Cabello de ángel
A nueve días de las elecciones generales de 2008, el ambiente político y social se va enrareciendo en España, algo bien visible tanto en los platós de televisión como en los bares, los taxis y los lugares de trabajo. Desde los micrófonos de la cadena CLEN, el afamado y controvertido locutor Ramiro Torres no ceja en sus ataques directos al gobierno socialista, hurgando una y otra vez en la herida del 11-M. Una estrategia que los mandos del partido en la oposición parecen no compartir. En una atmósfera cada vez más inflamable y a cuatro días de la consulta electoral, un asesinato inesperado y mediático contribuirá a revolver las aguas aún más. Es entonces cuando el subinspector Andrés Polo se irá adentrando en una complicada investigación por donde desfilará un carrusel de personajes reales y ficticios. A caballo entre el género negro y la política-ficción, Cabello de ángel juega la carta del entretenimiento sin renunciar a retratar de forma certera los aspectos menos lustrosos de las sociedades democráticas contemporáneas.

Ode To The Void
The second book of the collection “Latin America: Thoughts” presents Carlos Teixeira’s texts written between 1999 and 2015, previously published in Vitruvius, architecture portal in Brazil. This republication is not a simple collection, but rather a curated selection that defines a coherent and articulate narrative with texts previously isolated, illuminating some simple themes - social segregation, spatial fragmentation, car-oriented urbanism - and some unusual ones- the grass, the void, the reverse, the stilts.

Assim como existe um plano espiritual que atua na Terra, o mesmo ocorre em outros planetas habitados. O Universo real é composto de um fluído, e nós que estamos vivendo em corpos físicos, não podemos vê-lo. Através da realidade espiritual podemos ver também o plano físico, contudo, o contrário não é possível pela limitada visão da matéria densa, a qual nossos corpos são formados. Todo planeta habitado fisicamente tem uma esfera espiritual, entretanto, podemos ter planetas habitados somente em nível espiritual. É importante ressaltar que partimos de uma conjectura, ou seja, uma teoria, alargando nossa visão de mundo, no campo da espiritualidade. Porém, partimos do ponto de vista de grandes estudiosos no assunto, como físicos, astrofísicos, astrônomos, todos intelectuais que também acreditam em outra realidade além desta visível.
