Estos dos volúmenes sistematizan los resultados obtenidos en los dos años que se ha realizado el Máster «Visión Territorial y Sostenible del Desarrollo». Con la elaboración del Trabajo Final de Máster, se analizan las dinámicas de desarrollo local de un territorio en concreto, así como el diseño de estrategias pendientes que permiten avanzar en la construcción de un territorio más sostenible. Como resultado de estos trabajos finales, han aparecido estos dos volúmenes. Uno dedicado a la presentación de los estudios realizados sobre las dinámicas de desarrollo territorial sostenible, denominado aquí Territorio; y otro, donde se presentan los resultados de investigación sobre sectores o aspectos específicos alrededor de los que se analizan sus conexiones con el desarrollo territorial sostenible, aquí denominado Sectorial.

In 1992, James Woodall was asked to write an article about a Brazilian musician he'd never heard of, called Chico Buarque. He discovered that Buarque was a national hero in his native country and that interviewing him was a bit like a Latin American interviewing Paul McCartney. Woodall fell under Buarque's spell and began an affair with Brazilian pop music which has lasted to this day. His new passion took him to Brazil and in particular to Rio de Janeiro, world capital of Carnival and samba. Over several visits, he met with Chico Buarque, discovered the city's immodest beach culture and took part in Carnival. He met Chico Buarque's great contemporary, Caetano Veloso and other stars. Picking up Portuguese on the hop, he learnt a great deal about Chico Buarque's life and about the strange and dangerous city where he lives. This book is as much a hymn to Rio de Janeiro as it is to the music that beats at its heart.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
A obra aborda os principais questionamentos bioéticos advindos do avanço e do desenvolvimento das pesquisas biotecnológicas que alcançaram seu apogeu no final do século XX e início do século XXI. Valendo-se de uma visão multifacetada entre o direito e as ciências médicas, incluídas, entre outras, a nutrição, a psicologia, a antropologia e a sociologia, o livro apresenta grandes temas relativos à vida humana, sua dignidade e perpetuação, como o início da vida, os direitos do embrião, do nascituro e do anencéfalo; pesquisas com células tronco adultas e embrionárias, a clonagem humana, a experimentação cientifica em seres humanos, a identidade genética e familiar do ser humano. São estudadas diferentes questões à luz dos direitos humanos, dos direitos da personalidade e da liberdade religiosa. Faz também uma incursão nos principais temas de direito, valendo-se de dispositivos constitucionais, leis ordinárias e especiais, Resoluções do Conselho Federal de Medicina e Tratados Internacionais, num verdadeiro diálogo das fontes

Este primeiro volume da coletânea Lingua(gem) e justiça social é uma manifestação do axé temperado, cozido e enrolado em nove folhas de mamona da Editora Diálogos. Um axé que aqui é oferecido em nove alguidares, ainda fumegantes e em ebulição; um axé que é oferecido em nove textos. O axé é a força vital que todos os seres possuem. O axé é a força que nos conecta ao mundo e nele nos mantém presentes. Os nove textos que compõem esta coletânea formam um axé discursivo, político e pedagógico, nos convidando a uma agenda dialógica e interventiva no que tange o uso da língua como transe permanente para ver, ser e estar no mundo. Por isso, todos os textos apresentados, após macerarem as violências impostas pela vida na modernidade, firmam o adoxu e urgem nove cortes para a sacralização da língua e seu uso como ensinamento de esteira e de entrincheiramento, ou seja, o seu uso como justiça social.
