For well over two centuries, the U.S. Navy has engaged in an ever broader array of nonmilitary missions. Although a fundamental raison d'etre of navies concerns hard power, in the twentieth century an awareness of the uses of soft power developed. For example, since ancient times protecting against piracy has been a common naval problem, while since the mid-nineteenth century equally important patrol missions, such as attempts to stop the illegal slave trade, have been conducted by the U.S. Navy. After the Cold War, many other nonmilitary missions became important, in particular maritime humanitarian-aid missions like the post-tsunami Operation Unified Assistance in Southeast Asia during 2004-2005. This volume presents nine historical case studies examining the use of navies in nonmilitary missions.

A memória dos africanos de línguas e culturas banto no Brasil, muito pouco difundida entre a população em geral, vem sendo preservada em comunidades negras hoje designadas quilombos, nas quais ainda se podem encontrar falares e cantares com base lexical de origem banto. Nesses falares e cantares, podemos ouvir a palavra dos ancestrais transmitida em línguas rituais resultantes do contato entre africanos e portugueses e preservada como forma de resistência diante da imposição da língua e cultura europeia pelo Estado. Estão reunidas neste livro todas as palavras de provável origem banto encontradas nos vocabulários e glossários elaborados por pesquisadores a partir da observação em comunidades onde se fala essa mescla linguística em território mineiro. Também identificamos os registros dessas palavras emdicionários e glossários brasileiros, na literatura angolana e em dicionários de quicongo, quimbundo e umbundo, as três línguas banto mais faladas no Brasil. A publicação deste glossário em forma de livro é o resultado de uma coleta que buscou realizar uma arqueologia do contato entre línguas africanas do grupo banto e a língua portuguesa no Brasil.

This volume presents a selection of eight papers presented at three symposia on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) that were held at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. The experiences detailed in the chapters offer a representative sample of the diversity of approaches to teaching and assessing ESP and EAP that were shared on those occasions. The contributions vary markedly by teaching and research context: whereas some report the results of meticulously planned research projects, others describe in detail cases embedded in specific contexts in Italy and in the US; others analyse the specialised language of particular discourses or domains, or reflect upon teaching methods and materials.
