Book - BIOgrafias: Vidas de Quem Estuda a Vida

“BIOgrafias: Vidas de Quem Estuda a Vida” is the third book in the collection Paleta Natura by Escola de Mar.

Escola de Mar aims at creating consistent editorial project, continuous in time, with several publications devoted to the natural sciences and their main leading figures. We have already 3 collections: Paleta Natura (natural sciences and environmental collection); Paleta Poética (poetry and literature collection); and Paleta Azul (children collection). We count with a range of authors and topics to be explored in the coming years, with relevant partnerships in books distribution. The next step should include support to fund this initiative. For that we are counting with your help, through this crowdfunding platform and the first book to be published is “BIOgrafias: Vidas de Quem Estuda a Vida”, which will be the third edition within the collection “Paleta Natura”.

This book includes 35 short stories by 18 Portuguese authors, and refers us to their episodes as biologists, their adventures and, ultimately, to their life experiences. We are asking for the total amount of 3000 Euros to the design and printing of 500 copies.

About the author

Escola de Mar is a private initiative aimed at studying, researching, learning and increasing awareness and information of knowledge about the marine environment and the land/sea interface. Our main goals are to: (1) Gain knowledge about marine animals and the ecosystems they belong to; (2) Bring children and youths closer to the marine environment and all its aspects; (3) Establish conservation policies and an up-to-date and scientifically sound awareness policy about marine environment issues; (4) Encourage a creative state of mind about the presence and importance of the sea in human societies; (5) Increase the general public’s awareness of the importance of protected areas and sea and environment conservation.

This is a diverse and multidisciplinary enterprise in which all activities are in some way related to the sea.Experts with different backgrounds are involved in this project. Biologists, teachers, historians, computer experts, writers, artists, sailors and divers are some of the people who contribute to Escola de Mar.
