Este livro de fotografias é uma homenagem especial a Manaus, cidade controversa por natureza e que recebeu uma das suas melhores definições na frase do saudoso colunista social do jornal A Crítica, Gilberto (Gil) Barbosa, que a chamava de a “Manô” dos mil contrastes. Por meio desta expressão, que alimentou o imaginário de várias gerações, Gil conseguiu identificar fielmente o sentimento da Manaus em constante transformação, mutante, e cuja pluralidade sempre foi a sua característica mais forte. Uma metrópole incrustada na selva, que possui verdadeiras ilhas de riqueza cercadas de miséria. E esta miscelânea pode ser constatada com mais clareza nas imagens contidas neste trabalho, registradas durante o mês de setembro de 2012, de um ângulo que é privilégio de poucas pessoas: a vista de cima. A partir desta perspectiva aérea foi possível se captar Manaus na essência mais próxima da sua realidade contemporânea, neste momento em que ela está completando 343 anos de sua fundação – daí o título desta obra. O livro “343 Manaus” também possui tradução na língua inglesa, a fim de facilitar aos turistas internacionais que nos visitam um melhor conhecimento sobre a cidade. Por isso, além da justa homenagem à capital amazonense, a obra “343 Manaus”, terceira produção literária da editora Mídia Ponto Comm, é um guia visual turístico que se propõe a descrever e divulgar a sétima cidade mais populosa do Brasil por meio de um excelente acervo fotográfico, distribuído em mais de vinte aspectos da urbe manauara. Aproveite o sobrevoo e descubra Manaus!

Here, Jean Langenheim presents her odyssey as a woman field scientist, who crossed boundaries of botany, geology, and chemistry in doing ecological studies. The book includes almost two hundred photographs and maps and uses a unique timeline as context for her story in relation to relevant historical events, significant changes in the status of women, and milestones in ecology from the 1920s to the present. Her research spans five continents and ranges from arctic-alpine to tropical environments. It includes many adventures (such as a forced plane landing in Amazonia and working in the midst of a coup dtat in Colombia) and interactions with diverse cultures, from Alaska Eskimo to Ghanain family life. She tells the story of a rich life of learning and discovery, through difficult and good times, which she has shared with her husband and later with her students, colleagues, and many friends many around the world. INITIAL REVIEW STATEMENTS Anyone who reads this rich and wonderfully interesting memoir will be inspired by what Jean Langenheim has accomplished scientifically and personally during her long and distinguished career at the interface of multiple scientific fields. This is more than a personal memoir by a leading scientist. It is a deeply insightful reflection on how major scientific disciplines have developed over the past half century and how the culture of scientific research itself has changed. John Thompson, Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Evolution, University of California, Santa Cruz (quoted in UCSC press release http://press.ucsc.edu/text.asp?pid=3771 ) The title of this good read is truly apropos---it is an odyssey of the mind as well as life of a self-confessed adventurous woman, someone always open to the next chapter in an ever-changing life, lived during a period of significant social and technological changes. Theres a solid dose of real scientific research and discovery, tempered by the authors vivid descriptions of her travels, of the wonders of the natural world, and of the cultures she encounters in some amazing places she finds herself. Provocatively, you may recognize and view elements of your own life in ways you never thought about before. Susan Martin, retired researcher US Department of Agriculture, Colorado State University. I liked very much your life metaphor about weaving threads in your life tapestry. It was delightful to read how those threads were constructed and woven. Your life has been very rich, impacting and inspiring many people with your thoughts and action. Francisco Espinosa-Garcia, Professor, National University of Mexico Center for Ecosystem Research, Morelia, Mexico.

The considerable exploration success achieved by geochemistry over the last several decades - and still continuing - has provided both the basis and rationale for the Handbook of Exploration Geochemistry series, including Volume 6, Drainage Geochemistry in Mineral Exploration. With contributions from 25 experts of truly global professional experience in drainage geochemistry, this book is a thorough appraisal of the state of the art in the use of surface and sub-surface waters, stream and lake sediments, heavy minerals for mineral exploration in tropical rain forests, temperate glaciated terrains, mountain chains, arid deserts and regions of agricultural and industrial pollution. Additional attention is given to gold and uranium exploration, and to the growing role of drainage geochemistry as a multi-purpose environmental mapping technique with applications in human health studies, ore deposit modelling and pollution monitoring. It comprises 16 chapters, more than 250 figures and a bibliography of some 1600 references. This book is the most extensive and detailed single work on the principles and applications of drainage geochemistry in mineral exploration blending both theoretical considerations and practical implementations.

Suriname has a long history of faunal inventories, with many of its species already described by Linnaeus. Despite that, the amphibians were only treated in a few papers in scientific journals. Amphibians of Suriname is the first overview of our present knowledge of this interesting group for Suriname. The book presents short descriptions and data on the distribution and natural history of the 104 species now known for the country. Most species are illustrated by one or more photographs, and a distribution map is presented as well. Two new species and two new subspecies of frogs are described for Suriname, and for several species a contribution to the taxonomic discussion is given.
