Uniform Title: A biologia militante

Content: Brazilian society was shaken by turmoil in the 1920s and 1930s. The country was rocked by heated debates over race and immigration, burgeoning social movements in cities and the countryside, entrenched oligarchies clinging to power, and nature being despoiled. Against this turbulent backdrop, a group of biology scholars at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro joined the drive to renew the Brazilian nation, claiming as their weapon the voice of their fledgling field. Without discarding scientific rigor, they embraced biology as a creed and activism as a conviction-and achieved success in their bid to influence public policy in environmental protection and the rational use of natural resources. For the first time in English, Brazil's leading environmental historian, Regina Horta Duarte, brings us a nuanced analysis of the National Museum of Brazil's contribution to that country's formation and history. In "Activist Biology", Duarte explores the careers of three of these scientists as they leveraged biology as a strategy for change. Devoted to educational initiatives, they organized exhibits, promoted educational film and radio, wrote books, published science communication magazines, fostered school museums, and authored textbooks for young people. Their approach was transdisciplinary, and their reliance on multimedia formats was pioneering. Capturing a crucial period in Brazil's history, this portrait of science as a creative and potentially transformative pathway will intrigue anyone fascinated by environmental history, museums, and the history of science. Duarte skillfully shows how Brazilian science furthered global scientific knowledge in ways that are relevant now more than ever

Content: The challenges faced by the atmospheric research community today are vast, complex, and multi-faceted. The book Urban Atmospheric Aerosols: Sources, Analysis, and Effects highlights important aspects concerning the chemical and optical properties, size distribution, sources, and potential health effects of fine urban air particles (PM2.5). The physical and chemical characterization of PM2.5, its source assignment, and the assessment of the magnitude and distribution of its emissions are crucial for establishing effective fine air particle regulations and assessing the associated risks to human health. This book brings together eight papers covering the main topics of the field and will be of interest to researchers who are interested in air quality in outdoor and indoor environments, air particle toxicity, and atmospheric chemistry, as well as global climate modelers

Content: "En la actualidad hemos reconocido el peso de la acción humana en la transformación reciente del planeta -lo que hemos llamado cambio climático y el Antropoceno-, por lo tanto, resulta fundamental tener una visión de la historia que reconozca que el pasado humano está entremezclado con el devenir del mundo natural. Un pasado vivo. Dos siglos de historia ambiental latinoamericana recogen los avances hechos en ese sentido para entender los acelerados cambios producidos en los últimos dos siglos en América Latina y el Caribe. Cada capítulo presenta una visión general, desde un ángulo ambiental, de la historia de algunos países, regiones y biomas, como México, el Caribe, las selvas y las ciudades, o sobre temas transversales a toda la región, como la minería, la ganadería, la conservación de la naturaleza y la ciencia." -- Contracarátula
