Quais significados uma proposta curricular anuncia em suas orientaçes para avaliar uma criança de zero a cinco anos de idade? Este livro oferece um estudo sobre a avaliaço na Educaço Infantil, evidenciando elementos historicos que, por um lado, mostram que o sistema educacional brasileiro, embora amparado em leis que visam assegurar o desenvolvimento integral da criança, ainda ostenta a pesada herança dos modelos preparatorios e comportamentais. Por outro lado, a obra aponta a necessidade de buscar uma pratica que transcenda a logica da verificaço.Ao analisar propostas curriculares pos-BNCC implementadas em municipios baianos, as autoras desvelam o desafio pedagogico de transformar o ato de avaliar em um ato de cuidado, refletindo os processos formativos com as crianças da creche e da pre-escola. Esses processos exigem o compromisso de romper com a hierarquizaço das rotinas num movimento de valorizaço da observaço sensivel e do registro continuo como praticas inerentes ao trabalho docente.As autoras mostram a necessidade pedagogica de valorizar esse percurso pelo reconhecimento das multiplas linguagens e pelas vivencias da criança em creches e pre-escolas na produço de ambientes de promoço da autonomia e da justiça social.Esta obra e uma leitura envolvente para quem deseja revisitar o sentido atribuido a avaliaço no trabalho pedagogico na primeira etapa da Educaço Basica.

Esta obra tem como objetivo elucidar o leitor quanto ao caminho a ser seguido para que sejamos felizes de uma forma duradoura e sustentável, vivendo permanentemente metaconscientes. Através da compreenso dos tres pilares e da pratica das cinco metodologias essenciais, apaziguamos nossa mente e nos tornamos quem realmente somos em nossa essencia. A metaconsciencia permanente e um estado continuo de auto-observaço, tambem conhecido como estado de contemplaço sem esforço (effortless contemplation). Krishnamurti o chamava de estado de "choiceless attention" (atenço sem escolha ou atenço obrigatoria). Esse estado transcende os padres de pensamento guiados pelo ego, permitindo-nos acessar a essencia de quem realmente somos ao nos desapegarmos das ideias de quem no somos (pensamentos intrusivos, os verdadeiros responsaveis pela nossa falta de paz).O manual sobre os fundamentos e metodologias para vivermos metaconscientemente e uma coletanea de dez livros. A primeira parte, composta por 5 livros, e sobre os fundamentos e as metodologias, enquanto a segunda parte consiste no aprofundamento da teoria. Na segunda metade, sob a luz da perspectiva metaconsciente, so abordados temas essenciais para compreendermos a vida e a nos mesmos, como liberdade, amor, medo, desejo, apego, misso de vida, angustia existencial e consciencia.Os temas principais deste livro so "responsabilidade", "metodos para chegarmos a verdade" e "karma". Nele, so evidenciadas tres noçes de karma, alguns metodos consagrados na busca pela Verdade (duvida metodica, refutar o contraditorio, dialetica, dentre outros), o teorema da incompletude de Godel e o corolario numero um dos fundamentos da metaconsciencia.Alem disso, e enfatizada a importancia da responsabilidade para vivermos em paz e como o sentimento de culpa, a inveja e a vitimizaço so frutos de pensamentos intrusivos (ideologias do nosso ego), existentes unicamente para nos impedir de nos responsabilizarmos por nossas vidas (por nosso sofrimento e por nossa felicidade).Boa leitura!

"The Day the Sky Burned The solar storm that melted the telegraphs" investigates the Carrington Event of 1859, the most powerful geomagnetic storm on record. A massive solar flare hit Earth, causing auroras so bright that miners in the Rockies woke up at 1 AM thinking it was morning. Birds began to sing, and people could read newspapers by the light of the sky.Science historian George Spark details the chaos in the telegraph offices (the "internet" of the time). The wires overloaded with induced current. Telegraph machines threw sparks, papers caught fire, and operators received electric shocks. Some could even send messages with their batteries disconnected, powered solely by the auroral current."The Day the Sky Burned" is a warning for the digital age. It asks: What would happen if a Carrington-level event hit todays delicate grid of satellites, GPS, and servers? It reminds us that our modern technology exists at the mercy of the sun.

Este livro tem o objetivo de demonstrar que o arcabouço jurídico nacional conta com mecanismos capazes de garantir a entrega dos direitos sociais dos trabalhadores de aplicativos sem que haja necessidade do debate acerca do reconhecimento do vinculo de emprego. No atual cenario de economia digital, o chamado trabalho uberizado tornou-se o simbolo do modelo de negocio baseado nas plataformas digitais, representando a evoluço das formas de trabalho para alem dos moldes ento conhecidos e previstos na Consolidaço das Leis do Trabalho. A questo do vinculo de emprego e o principal ponto de discusso entre trabalhadores e empresas de plataformas digitais, evidenciando no somente uma posiço de hipossuficiencia por parte dos trabalhadores, como tambem um impasse entre os Tribunais do Trabalho, cujas decises so a favor do reconhecimento do vinculo, e o Supremo Tribunal Federal, que entende pelo no reconhecimento do vinculo de emprego. Tal embate acentua a insegurança juridica, comprometendo sobremaneira a entrega dos direitos sociais assegurados a estes trabalhadores. Diante disso, e atraves de uma pesquisa teorica baseada em dados bibliograficos e jurisprudenciais de abordagem dedutiva e carater qualitativo, este livro aponta possiveis soluçes para garantia da entrega dos direitos sociais dos trabalhadores de aplicativos sem a necessidade do reconhecimento do vinculo de emprego e sem prejuizo aos anseios da ordem economica e da livre iniciativa.

Have you ever signed up for a free trial that took seconds to join but required a phone call to cancel? Thats not bad design; its a "Dark Pattern." UX designer turned whistleblower Ryan Peters exposes the manipulative interface design strategies used by Big Tech in "Click Here to Suffer."Peters categorizes the tricks: "Roach Motels" (easy in, hard out), "Confirmshaming" (e.g., "No, I dont like saving money"), and "Sneak into Basket" (adding insurance automatically). He explains the cognitive biases these designs exploit, such as urgency (fake countdown timers) and scarcity.The book argues that this is a crisis of consent. We are being nudged, tricked, and bullied by the screens we use daily. Peters calls for ethical design regulation and teaches users how to spot these traps to avoid unwanted subscriptions and data theft. It is a field guide to the hostile architecture of the internet.

The Ottoman Empire is often reduced to military conquest and eventual decline. Yet this rise-and-fall narrative overlooks what sustained an empire across six centuries and three continents: sophisticated administrative systems that adapted to diverse populations, legal frameworks balancing Islamic law with local customs, and diplomatic networks managing relationships with European powers, Persian rivals, and internal religious communities.This book reexamines Ottoman governance through administrative records, court documents, tax registers, and diplomatic correspondence. It traces how the empire integrated Christian and Jewish subjects through the millet system, how provincial governors negotiated between central authority and local realities, and how economic pressuresshifting trade routes, military costs, debt to European creditorsgradually undermined institutional capacity.By focusing on administrative practice rather than dramatic events, this work reveals the empires actual mechanisms of survival and transformation. It explores how Ottoman institutions managed religious diversity, territorial expansion, and eventual contractionoffering insight into the gap between imperial ambition and governmental reality. The question becomes: not why the empire fell, but how it endured as long as it did.

"The Illegal Suit When wearing baggy clothes was an act of treason" investigates the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943. During WWII, fabric was rationed for the war effort. The US government banned wasteful clothing like cuffs and pleats. However, young Mexican-American men (Pachucos) in Los Angeles continued to wear "Zoot Suits"massive, baggy, flamboyant outfitsas a symbol of cultural pride and rebellion.Historian Victor Cloth details the violence that followed. White servicemen, viewing the suits as unpatriotic, roamed the streets beating anyone wearing one, stripping them naked, and burning the clothes. The police arrested the victims, not the attackers."The Illegal Suit" is a micro-history of how fashion becomes political. It shows how a style of dress became a proxy for racial tension and how the state tried to police patriotism through the cut of a mans trousers.

"The Four Year War The conflict that shattered the myth of the peaceful ape" documents the Gombe Chimpanzee War (19741978). Before this event, scientists believed chimpanzees were peaceful vegetarians. Jane Goodall watched in horror as the Kasekela community systematically hunted down and annihilated the Kahama communityapes that had previously been their friends and family.Author Helen Wild describes the brutal tactics: kidnapping, gang attacks, and celebration after kills. The violence was so shocking that Goodall famously said she woke up at night seeing the images."The Four Year War" forces us to confront the darkness in our own DNA. It proves that war, territorialism, and calculated violence are not unique to humans, but deep-seated primate behaviors that predate civilization.

The Silk Road is romanticized as a continuous route carrying exotic goods between East and West. Yet this linear narrative overlooks the complex reality: dozens of interconnected trade networks operated by merchants who rarely traveled the entire distance, goods changing hands through multiple intermediaries, and thriving cities sustained by the infrastructure of caravanserais, currency exchange, and legal frameworks protecting foreign traders.This book traces the Silk Road through merchant letters, customs records, archaeological evidence from trading posts, and travelers accounts. It examines how Buddhist monks, Nestorian Christians, and Muslim scholars moved alongside commodity tradersspreading religious ideas, artistic techniques, and scientific knowledge. The focus extends beyond silk and spices to include the translators who made commerce possible, the banking systems financing long-distance trade, and the steppe nomads whose political stability determined whether caravans could safely pass.By analyzing the practical mechanics of cross-continental exchange, this work reveals how the Silk Road functioned as an economic and cultural system rather than a single path. It explores how goods, ideas, technologies, and diseases traveled through human networksshowing that connection, not isolation, defined pre-modern civilizations.

This book explores the complex reality of rebuilding trust after betrayalnot as a linear process of forgiveness and restoration, but as an honest reckoning with whether safety can genuinely be rebuilt or whether trust was broken beyond repair. It examines the patterns beneath forced forgiveness, hypervigilance, and the pressure to "move on," reframing trust reconstruction as requiring both accountability from the person who caused harm and permission to remain uncertain.Rather than offering timelines for healing or prescriptive steps to restore relationships, this book invites you to understand what your nervous system actually needs to feel safe againand whether those conditions can realistically be met. It explores the difference between rebuilding trust through consistent repair versus staying in relationships where betrayal patterns continue beneath surface apologies.Through psychological insight into trauma responses, the neurobiology of broken trust, and the difference between genuine accountability and performative remorse, this book offers a compassionate path through betrayal that honors complexity. It examines why sometimes trust can be rebuilt through painstaking repair work, and why sometimes the most self-respecting choice is acknowledging that certain betrayals fundamentally alter whats possible. The goal isnt deciding whether to forgiveits learning to trust your own assessment of whether safety can actually return.

In 1816, snow fell in New England in June, birds dropped dead from the sky in London, and famine swept across Europe. Historian David Nash presents "The Year Without a Summer," a gripping narrative of the global climate catastrophe caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia the previous year.Nash connects the dots between this geological event and massive societal shifts. He explains how the stratospheric ash cloud caused crop failures that led to the first major Jewish migration from Europe to America and spurred the invention of the bicycle (as horses became too expensive to feed). Culturally, the gloomy, incessant rain trapped Mary Shelley indoors near Lake Geneva, leading directly to the writing of Frankenstein.The book combines volcanology, meteorology, and social history to paint a picture of a world on the brink. Nash draws parallels to modern climate change, showing how fragile our agricultural systems are when the weather deviates from the norm. It is a story of human resilience and adaptation in the face of a sun that refused to shine.
