Caixa de ferramentas para tradutores A lista de recursos on-line apresentada a seguir foi compilada por Fabiano Medeiros, do editorial da Ed. Mundo Cristão, com base em sugestões de vários tradutores. Many thanks ao Fabiano por autorizar a publicação dessas dicas tão úteis. Você tem sugestões para acrescentar à lista? Deixe um comentário. DICAS DE DICIONÁRIOS E FONTES DE CONSULTA 1. A primeira dica é a seguinte. Descobri por acaso... No Google, você digita a palavra ou expressão seguida de DIC. Ex: overwhelming DIC. O resultado são as definições fornecidas pelos dicionários mais importantes... 2. Para quem prefere algo mais profissional, basta acessar o www.onelook.com e digitar ali a palavra ou expressão. O Onelook é uma espécie de portal dos melhores dicionários online, técnicos ou não. 3. Alguns endereços específicos (eu mantenho o ícone dos melhores na minha barra do IE, para fácil acesso): Monolíngues inglês Cambridge http://dictionary.cambridge.org/ (há uma versão americana também) Chamo a atenção de vocês para este dicionário por ser altamente prático. Como veem no exemplo abaixo, a Cambrige criou esse negócio de "apor" uma ETIQUETA em versal logo no início do verbete, já indicando o(s vários) campo(s) semântico(s). Isso facilita muito a consulta, porque remete você para o contexto imediato em que está trabalhando e reduz a perda de tempo na consulta por significados. Claro que isso não é possível em todos os verbetes... E não é algo que resolve todos os problemas. Mas ajuda muito em muitos casos! Ex: get was found in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary at the entries listed below. · get verb OBTAIN · get verb REACH · get verb BECOME ILL WITH · get verb START TO BE · get verb CAUSE · get verb BE · get verb MOVE · get verb TRAVEL · get verb DEAL WITH · get verb HAVE CHANCE · get verb UNDERSTAND/HEAR · get verb PREPARE · get verb PAY · get verb CONFUSE · get verb ANNOY · get ver

Subprime Cities: The Political Economy of Mortgage Markets Entrada x  Manuel Aalbers m.b.aalbers@gmail.com 06:52 (13 horas atrás) para URBGEOG  Dear colleagues,   Last month the book "Subprime Cities: The Political Economy of Mortgage Markets" was published: http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1444337777.html   It's an edited volume with contributions from human geographers, urban sociologists and political economists. It features a foreword by David Harvey and contributions by Saskia Sassen, Elvin Wyly, Kathe Newman and many others. Besides an introduction and conclusion, the book consists of two major parts, the first dealing with "The Political Economy of the Mortgage Market" and the second with "Cities, Race, and the Subprime Crisis". Several chapters focus on the U.S., while others focus on the U.K., the E.U. and global perspectives. Please find the table of contents and the two back cover reviews below. You can find a sample chapter (pdf) online.   There are paperback, hardcover and e-book editions available. The paperback edition is reasonably prices. I hope you will also consider this book for teaching purposes.   Best wishes, Manuel -- Manuel B. Aalbers, Ph.D. University of Amsterdam  Department of Geography, Planning and International Development Studies Nieuwe Prinsengracht 130  1018 VZ  Amsterdam The Netherlands http://home.medewerker.uva.nl/m.b.aalbers/       "There has, prior to the publication of this book on Subprime Cities, been very little concern for examining and interpreting this sequence of events and explaining the role of urbanization and financialization (along with rent-seeking) in this whole dynamic. What this book does is to begin upon the complex task of exploring and explaining the urban roots of crisis formation in general and of the dynamics of the most recent crisis in particular. We have here an astonishing and revelatory understanding of the urban roots of the fiscal crisis." -
