The challenges of scientific an environmental journalism: the second-generation biofuels



In today's world, the development of alternative sources of energy is becoming more necessary in order to solve the global problems of energy supply, climate change and other environmental issues. However, as some of these processes are in their early stages, their feasibility and impacts are not possible to measure. In the case of biofuels, the new generations are being heavily criticised whilst they are being researched. This book brings a series of articles about the second-generation biofuels, analysing their repercussions in economic, technological and environmental fields. The book also presents an analysis on scientific and environmental journalism, discussing the role of the media in society; the role of science and environmental reporting; the problems journalists face; the challenges posed by the increasingly commercial media; and interviewing journalists to learn how they deal with their work environment challenges. This discussion is of public interest and could be useful to several groups, from Journalists ?as well as Journalism students? to Environmentalists, Scientists and their respective Public Relations.

A Beleza Total, Carlos Drummond de Andrade.

A beleza de Gertrudes fascinava todo mundo e a própria Gertrudes. Os espelhos pasmavam diante de seu rosto, recusando-se a refletir as pessoas da casa e muito menos as visitas. Não ousavam abranger o corpo inteiro de Gertrudes. Era impossível, de tão belo, e o espelho do banheiro, que se atreveu a isto, partiu-se em mil estilhaços. A moça já não podia sair à rua, pois os veículos paravam à revelia dos condutores, e estes, por sua vez, perdiam toda a capacidade de ação. Houve um engarrafamento monstro, que durou uma semana, embora Gertrudes houvesse voltado logo para casa. O Senado aprovou lei de emergência, proibindo Gertrudes de chegar à janela. A moça vivia confinada num salão em que só penetrava sua mãe, pois o mordomo se suicidara com uma foto de Gertrudes sobre o peito. Gertrudes não podia fazer nada.
