A língua grega não perdeu sua importância com a ascensão de Roma. Não apenas continuou a ser o principal idioma de expressão intelectual nas regiões conquistadas por Alexandre, o Grande, como também se inseriu no coração do mundo romano, onde não poucos a falavam e nela preferiram escrever suas obras. Atentos à importância da língua grega durante toda a Antiguidade, bem como à escassez no Brasil de estudos sobre autores que escreveram em grego durante o Império Romano, o primeiro objetivo desta coletânea é, assim, oferecer uma amostra da riqueza intelectual desse período através de estudos que não apenas escreveram em grego, mas também deram continuidade à tradição literária, filosófica e historiográfica grega. O arco temporal coberto pelos autores presentes neste livro vai do primeiro ao terceiro século da era cristã. São estudos que abordam Paulo de Tarso, Plutarco, Epiteto, Élio Aristides, Luciano de Samósata, Filóstrato, Bábrio, Apolodoro, Máximo de Tiro, Diógenes Láercio e Plotino.

The environmental emergency of the last century, highlighted by the pandemic, has led to an urgent need to reformulate the predominant role of human beings on the planet by undertaking a less anthropocentric design approach. This urgency has been especially outlined by a re-evaluation of the concept of the Anthropocene, which can be defined as a geological era characterized by the significant human impact on the geology and ecosystems of the Earth. Within this theoretical framework, the book explores the role of Design as a multifaceted discipline capable of exploring the complexity of a changing world, and reconsiders the human being’s position in a pervasive relationship with the contemporary environments (physical and abstract) through a More-than-Human approach. This volume illustrates reflections, analyses, and interventions guided by or intersected with the concept of the post-Anthropocene, and traces two different scales of observation. The first, explored in the two starting chapters, highlights how the complexity of the topic requires a large-scale analysis perspective in order to be fully understood. The concept of the post-Anthropocene does not exclude the human being as a fundamental component but takes the latter as a departing point to frame wider contemporary needs and issues and to support a call for action to envision and shape the future. The second part of the book instead explores the possibility to include, within this broad discussion, the theme of More-than-Human applied to specific disciplines – linked to the culture of Design – analyzing different aspects that move from taxonomy, application, and creativity.

Two phenomena are characteristic for the current developments in the information and communication technology (ICT): the devices to access and use digital content improve in terms of usability and performance, and the digital content itself expands fastly. On this developments and the changes in usage patterns start the reflections in the present volume on mobile learning centering on the question how foreign-language learning can benefit from these new usage-patterns and technologies.

Flatland, Edwin Abbott's story of a two-dimensional universe, as told by one of its inhabitants who is introduced to the mysteries of three-dimensional space, has enjoyed an enduring popularity from the time of its publication in 1884. This fully annotated edition enables the modern-day reader to understand and appreciate the many 'dimensions' of this classic satire. Mathematical notes and illustrations enhance the usefulness of Flatland as an elementary introduction to higher-dimensional geometry. Historical notes show connections to late-Victorian England and to classical Greece. Citations from Abbott's other writings as well as the works of Plato and Aristotle serve to interpret the text. Commentary on language and literary style includes numerous definitions of obscure words. An appendix gives a comprehensive account of the life and work of Flatland's remarkable author.

Recent research suggests that there is a direct link between quality of teaching and teacher’s instructions and student achievement scores. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between levels of teaching quality and differences between schools and classrooms. However, measuring teaching quality has proven to be difficult and scholars strive to decide on the what and the how when aiming to measure teaching quality. This book discusses the many dilemmas of measuring teaching quality, be it substantial, theoretical, or methodological. This edited volume presents eight chapters, assigned authors provide updated and new knowledge on the many challenges linked to defining what teaching quality is and how it can be measured. This collection of chapters originates from the discussions at the QUINT Conference 2019: Analysing Teaching Quality: Perspectives, Potential, and Pitfalls, organized by the Nordic Centre of Excellence: Quality in Nordic Teaching 18-20 June 2019 at the University of Oslo.
