"Sete são as zoo-histórias, como sete são as cores do arco-íris: diferentes no tom da escrita – mais brilhantes e alegres, ou mais dramáticas e obscuras. São narrativas simples e verosímeis, onde à divulgação da história natural dos animais se acrescentam algumas liberdades literárias e um pouco de imaginação.
Nelas se cruza a biologia das espécies com dados geográficos e históricos, formando e informando através do estímulo da leitura. Cada história propõe um «olhar os animais» que concilie a ternura de uma criança, o encanto de um admirador e a atenção de um cientista. E nesse «olhar os animais» sentimo-nos observados por eles.

"Através da análise dos textos de Aquilino Ribeiro, esta obra visa aprofundar a ligação entre a paisagem e a sua representação literária, e avaliar os conteúdos que testemunham a ocupação do território, a diversidade biológica e a relação do Homem com a Natureza. Transpostas para o território, as paisagens literárias podem potenciar a preservação da diversidade, coerência e identidade.
A paisagem é uma realidade complexa e dinâmica que resulta das diferentes características do espaço biofísico, da evolução natural dos sistemas ecológicos e das alterações que o Homem lhe introduziu ao longo da História. A combinação destes factores gera a sua diversidade.
A paisagem, que se apresenta como um mosaico de usos do solo, é também um mosaico de ideias, objectivos, práticas e vivências de quotidianos anteriores, assimilados na cultura local. Entre as serras da Nave e da Lapa, num território designado Terras do Demo por Aquilino Ribeiro, encontramos um itinerário de reflexão sobre a paisagem local, em que a obra do mestre é charneira e catalisador.
Através da sua paisagem literária chegam-nos memórias de diferentes épocas e de diferentes histórias de vida que parece indispensável conhecer, compreender e considerar para o ordenamento do território.
Este livro mostra-nos como a Literatura pode ser uma fonte de informação sobre as paisagens do passado e um elemento a ter em conta na protecção e valorização da paisagem actual"

Birds are emblematic natural elements of landscapes. Readily noticeable and appreciated due to their songs and flight, they have been thoroughly used as components of literary scenarios. This paper analyses their representations in an enlarged corpus (144 writings by 67 writers) since the nineteenth century, divided in three time -
periods. It aims to understand which wild birds are represented in Portuguese literature, how those representations prevail over time, and what literary texts reveal about distribution and abundance of the birds mentioned, linked to major environmental and landscape changes.
Based on common names, 112 taxonomic units are identified, corresponding to either one species, species of the same genera or family, or a higher taxon. In addition,
historical distribution and abundance are extracted from literary texts and compared with data from biological sources, such as ornithological reports, guides, atlas and red data books. We conclude that bird representations are frequent and diversified in terms of taxonomic units, and this richness tends to prevail over time.
The most prolific wild birds’representations are linked to the writers’own experiences of the Portuguese countryside
during their childhood and youth. It is particularly significant in the writers from the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, with a rural origin, like most of the population. Despite landscape and social changes the
rough time, contemporary literature still reveals a sound knowledge of birds and a proximity and appreciation of
nature, which can be explained by the rural ancestry
of some current writers, as a kind of countryside nostalgia and embodiment of an environmental discourse of wildlife
preservation.

This paper presents an embryo of a literary guide on the Carnation Revolution to be explored for educational historical excursions other than leisure and tourism. We propose a historical trail through the centre of Lisbon, city of the Carnation Revolution, called Walk through the Revolution. The trail aims to reinforce collective memory about the
major events that occurred in the early moments leading to the coup. The trail is made up by nine places of
rememberance, for which literary excerpts are suggested and which are supported by a digital research procedure. A
set of seven fixed and observer-independent categories are used to analyse the literary contents of 23 literary works
published up to 2013. These literary works refer to events that happened between the eve of April 25 and May 1,
1974. At the same time, literary descriptions are explored using a spatial approach in order to define the literary
geography of the most iconic military actions and popular demonstrations that occurred in Lisbon and the
surroundings. The literary geography and the cartography of the historical events are then compared. Data analysis and visualization benefit from the use of standardised and quantitative methods, including basic statistics and geographic information systems.

This article argues that the study of literary representations of landscapes can be aided and enriched by the application of digital geographic technologies. As an example, the article focuses on the methods and preliminary findings of LITESCAPE.PT—Atlas of Literary Landscapes of Mainland Portugal, an on-going project that aims to study literary representations of mainland Portugal and to explore their connections with social and environmental realities both in the past and in the present. LITESCAPE.PT integrates traditional reading practices and ‘distant reading’ approaches, along with collaborative work, relational databases, and geographic information systems (GIS) in order to classify and analyse excerpts from 350 works of Portuguese literature according to a set of ecological, socioeconomic, temporal and cultural themes. As we argue herein this combination of qualitative and quantitative methods—itself a response to the difficulty of obtaining external funding—can lead to (a) increased productivity, (b) the pursuit of new research
goals, and (c) the creation of new knowledge about natural and cultural history. As proof of concept, the article presents two initial outcomes of the LITESCAPE.PT project: a case study documenting the evolving literary geography of Lisbon and a case study exploring the representation of wolves in Portuguese literature.

This paper proposes a methodology to address the urban evolutionary process demonstrating how it is reflected in literature. It focuses on ‘literary space’, presented as a territory defined by the period setting or as evoked by the characters, which can be geo-referenced and drawn on a map. It identifies the different locations of literary space in relation to urban development and the economic, political and social context of the city. We suggest a new approach for mapping out a relatively comprehensive body of literature by combining literary criticism, urban history, and GIS. The home-range concept, used in Animal Ecology, has been adapted to reveal the size and location of literary space. This interdisciplinary methodology is applied to nineteenth and twentieth century novels involving the city of Lisbon as a case study. The developing concepts of cumulative literary space and common literary space introduce size calculations in addition to location and structure, previously developed by other researchers. Sequential and overlapping analyses of literary space throughout time has the advantage of presenting comparable and repeatable results for other researchers using a different body of literary works or studying another city. Results show how city changes shaped perceptions of the urban space as it was lived and experienced. A small core-area, correspondent to a part of the city center, persists as literary space in all the novels analyzed. Furthermore, the literary space does not match the urban evolution. There is a time-lag for embedding new urbanized areas in the imagined literary scenario.

This article blends the frameworks of ecocriticism and digital humanities. It explores quantitative methods for analysing literary representations of the wolf in Portuguese literature on a temporal and spatial basis, from an enlarged literary corpus. A grid analysis covers the entire sample’s content and encompasses the various forms that relationships between humans and nature can take.
Quantitative analysis reveals that wolves have been common narrative elements since the late nineteenth century. However, the proportion of wolf literary representations was not independent of time period of publication: a strong decline occurred in the works published after 1980. We also found that most of the contemporary writers that mention wolves place the narrative in a previous time.
Wolf literary representations maintained their basic pattern in structure across time. They combined a variety of topics, approaches and perspectives, although they tended to be less rich and less diverse in terms of their composition.

This article proposes a methodology to address the urban evolutionary process, demonstrating how it is reflected in literature.

Restoration models and practise to date have been applied mainly to ecosystems. More recently, there has been a focus on the ‘‘landscape perspective’’ of ecosystem restoration in order to improve nature conservation and management effectiveness.
Here, we clarify some of the differences between ecosystem- and landscapeoriented restoration, and propose four components that should be considered in planning and conceptualising: (a) landscape composition and configuration; (b) traditional land management techniques; (c) linear and point features; and (d) other heritage features. We further discuss the concept of reference landscapes, and the contrasts between restoration and rehabilitation. Spatial approaches to restoration
are explored, comparing small areas with complete restoration (‘‘museum landscapes’’) from large areas with rehabilitation of landscape physiognomy or point and linear features. The linkages with nature conservation and the sustainable use and management of natural resources are examined in the context of a rapidly changing world.

This article focuses on the literary landscape of Monsanto. It confronts the discourse produced by the writer, Fernando Namora (1819-1989)—a pioneer of the Neo-Realistic literature in Portugal—and the literary production of other contemporary authors related with the ideological bases of “Estado Novo” (“New State”), the dictatorial regime that held the government in Portugal from 1933 to 1974.
In the writings analysed, the representation of the landscapes of Monsanto entails powerful ideological messages. For Namora, the village was a “stone vessel,” a metaphor about the hard life of its inhabitants, victims of social injustices and lacking of resources. For the “Estado Novo,” that place was the symbol of the national identity (“the most Portuguese village,” as was stated in 1938). The metaphors of the stone, the strong substrata and the raw material
used for shelters, stressed the value of preservation of Tradition, History,Religion and Work. Although very different, both discourses attach great value
to the productive and dominated rural landscape of Monsanto, and to the human role in the transformation of its soil.
At the present time, even if population has decreased drastically and agriculture has been abandoned, local authorities and tourist agents alike try to conciliate
the “stone vessel” with “the most Portuguese village.” In this context, the options for the management and valorisation of the landscape of Monsanto shall be discussed.

The Argentine Ant Linepithema (Iridomyrmex) humile is a native species of Northern Argentina, Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. In the decade of 1920, it invaded the Mediterranean Europe, with severe environmental and economical onsequences. Some years before, this species was unintentional introduced in the coastal areas of Portugal, Spain, France and Italy as stowaways in vegetal products (e.g. ornamental plants, straw beds of horses) imported from South America. On the basis of three legal diploma produced the Regional Decree of 26 January of 1921, signed by the French Maritime diploma produced the Regional Decree of 26 January of 1921, signed by the French MaritimeAlps mayor; the Italian Law nº1266 of 1 July of 1926; the Portuguese Regulation of 8 November 1929 it discusses how agricultural policy faced this pest.
