Ao relembrar Alcafache, 30 anos depois do fatídico acidente ferroviário que, no final de tarde do dia 11 de setembro de 1985, ceifou a vida a um número indeterminado de pessoas, mas seguramente superior a uma centena, fazemo-lo com a firme convicção de que, em matéria de acidentes ferroviários, podermos aprender com o passado. Assim, esta obra tem por objetivos: i. Dar voz aos protagonistas que, à época, participaram tanto no socorro como na difusão da informação sobre o acidente de Alcafache; ii. Proceder à análise de outros acidentes ferroviários, que servem de enquadramento ao tema; iii. Tratar de acidentes específicos mais recentemente ocorridos em Portugal, Espanha e França; iv. Relatar a importância da dimensão do fator humano na segurança ferroviária; v. Apresentar o atual contexto de organização do socorro às vítimas. A multidisciplinaridade dos temas abordados neste volume permite uma boa reflexão e, ao mesmo tempo, um melhor conhecimento sobre a problemática dos acidentes ferroviários, já que ela não se circunscreve à catástrofe de Alcafache, dando assim uma visão mais global da importante temática que se apresenta nesta obra, cuja leitura a todos nos enriquecerá.

"From countercultural resistance to world music craze, Balkan music captured the attention of global audiences. Balkanology , the 1991 quintessential album of Bulgarian music, highlights this moment of unbridled creativity. Seasoned musicians all over the world are still in awe of the technical abilities of the musicians in Ansambl Trakia-their complex additive rhythms, breakneck speeds, stunning improvisations, dense ornamentation, chromatic passages, and innovative modulations. Bridging folk, jazz, and rock sensibilities, Trakia's music has set the standard for Bulgarian music until today, and its members, especially Ivo Papazov, are revered stars at home and abroad. The album reveals how Romani (Gypsy) artists resisted the state's prohibition against Romani music and fashioned a genre that became a youth movement in Bulgaria, and then a world music phenomenon. Balkanology underscores the political, economic and social roles of music during socialism and postsocialism."--
