ALMANAQUE ANOS 80 pdf ebook download

Os anos 80 não foram de contestação política, nem de uma revolução artística pseudo-intelectual e mal sentiram o gosto amargo da censura, que já estava em seus últimos suspiros. Mas justamente por isso foram muito mais divertidos. Lançaram o rock nacional, os primeiros jogos eletrônicos (do Telejogo ao Atari, passando pelos game-boys) e teve a melhor seleção brasileira até hoje desde o tri em 70, aquela da Copa da Espanha de 82. De quebra, ainda botou no mundo o cubo mágico, o relógio Champion que trocava pulseira e aqueles picolés diferentões da Gelatto. Este livro, longe de ter a pretensão de ser uma enciclopédia da década, é um apanhado de tudo o que marcou a infância, a adolescência e a juventude de uma geração. O 'Almanaque Anos 80' é dividido em oito capítulos - Televisão, Revistas, Figurinhas & Livros, Música, Cinema, Esporte, Guloseimas, Diversão e Modismos. Cada um deles é recheado de curiosidades, listas, muitas fotos e, inclusive, informações quase inéditas.

Peabody College: From a Frontier Academy to the Frontiers of Teaching and Learning pdf ebook download

Today George Peabody College is a part of Vanderbilt University, as it has been since its merger in 1979. Its prior history was rich and complex. In this book, Paul Conkin, author of the award-winning history of Vanderbilt, Gone with the Ivy, tells the story of Peabody’s many lives, of its successes and failures, and of its many colorful leaders and professors.

It all began as a small frontier academy in 1785. The institution that would become Peabody experienced its first reinvention two decades later as it became Cumberland College, and then, in 1826, the University of Nashville. The University maintained an elite undergraduate college until 1850, and, despite the success of its medical school and a military institute, it failed in three subsequent efforts to restart its undergraduate program.

In 1875 the University offered its campus and degree-granting authority to the first normal school in the state of Tennessee, a school funded by the Peabody Education Fund. The Peabody Normal College was the best in the South, and, as such, exerted an enormous influence on education in the region.

A new era began in 1909. The trustees of the Peabody Fund, at its liquidation, provided an eventual $1.5 million to establish a graduate-level George Peabody College for Teachers. It opened for classes in 1914, on its present campus, where it quickly became the premier teachers’ college in the South. As was the case with many private, independent institutions, Peabody faced intermittent financial struggles, which finally ended with its union with Vanderbilt. Today Peabody is, by almost any criteria, one of the five or six strongest colleges of education in the United States.

Diskurs Und Terminologie Beim Fachubersetzen Und Dolmetschen/ Discourse and Terminology in Specialist Translation and Interpreting pdf ebook download

This volume analyzes problems crucial to the science of practical translation. Among the many aspects which are important for the adequacy and correctness in translation and interpreting services, two areas were chosen - terminology as a firm base for translation equivalence and discourse as a procedural foundation for a successful translation process. The theoretical basis and methods which were used during the analysis are the ones which form the linguistic and translation discourse analysis. It presents translation and interpreting as a goal-oriented communication procedure, which is closely related to diverse forms of intercommunication. A characteristic feature of translation discourse analysis is that the object of the study is documented very closely with the terminology as a corpus of different specialized texts. Such an empirical base for the analysis takes into consideration the most significant approaches of translation and interpreting - from legal terminology to cultural aspects of the translation process.

The Two-Edged SWORD pdf ebook download

For Donald W. Tucker, life from the get-go was a two-edged sword-a "damned if you do/ damned if you don’t" black & white shades & wing-tips jungle existence of working the streets of Southside Chicago undercover ("with no cover") as a Federal narcotics and SS agent. Tucker was quick, sharp and street smart. Ultimately he rose through the ranks to become one of America’s foremost federal law enforcement administrators and reformers.
The Two-Edged Sword is a grim, gutsy, raw in-your-face first-hand account of what it was like to be Black and work as an undercover agent for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (now called the DEA), and United States Secret Service from 1961-1990-some of the toughest years in this country’s history of Civil Rights.
Tucker’s life story reads like a best-selling 007 whodunit, more fiction than fact-yet all of it really happened.
"Too many times the risks were far greater than anticipated, but I was young and dumb," writes Tucker. "I didn’t know what I was doing until I felt a .45 slammed against my head. Or, until I found myself being cuffed and dragged into a police car manned by an officer who had no way of knowing I was an undercover agent."

Book Review: by Jonathan Jones__Laura Engelstein, The Keys of Happiness: Sex and the Search for Modernity in Fin-de-Siècle Russia (Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY, 1992). xiii 461 pp.__The original, The Keys of Happiness, by Anastasiia Verbitskaia, was a romance novel in six volumes of 1,400 pages.

Engelstein’s book, intended as a scholarly work, explores the nature of sexuality and gender issues, in Russia, at the turn of the century.--The book begins with a detailed discourse on how the power of the Tsarist Russian state defined the legal categories of gender, the nature of sexuality, and the moral/ethical crimes of homosexuality and prostitution. Engelstein portrays a quagmire of problems that resembles a cat’s cradle of interlocking, and often contradictory, bureaucracies.
