Neste livro são estudadas características centrais dos direitos metaindividuais, sua natureza jurídica, assim como a legislação, a doutrina e a jurisprudência mais abalizadas aplicáveis à espécie. Por inequívoca correlação com o tema, são estudadas as principais normas processuais integrantes do denominado microssistema processual coletivo, notadamente a ação civil pública, para a tutela judicial dos direitos metaindividuais.
La obra es una recopilación de artículos de diversos pensadores que aportan una preocupación por el derecho fundamental a un medio ambiente sano y por la sociedad actual. Varios temas son abordados desde la perspectiva de diversos países, aportando una visión importante para la cooperación entre las naciones con el fin de minimizar los problemas socio-ambientales derivados de la sociedad de consumo contemporánea. Concluimos que debe haber un cambio de racionalidad, donde las personas entiendan su función en la sociedad como ciudadanos participativos. Estas funciones de participación, ya sea a través de políticas públicas locales que les hagan sentir que pertenecen, o a través de una idea de cooperación social basada en el hecho de que estos ciudadanos interactúan en torno al bien común, la solidaridad y la empatía. Otro elemento que necesita cambios y una resignificación es la forma del sistema capitalista centrado en la visión de lucro de las grandes corporaciones que crean patrones de consumo, cuyo único objetivo es el lucro, sin importar lo que pueda ocurrir en la esfera social y ambiental”.
Women, Business and the Law 2020, the sixth edition in a series, analyzes laws and regulations affecting women's economic inclusion in 190 economies. The Women, Business and the Law Index, composed by eight indicators structured around women's interactions with the law as they begin, progress through and end their careers, aligns different areas of the law with the economic decisions women make at various stages of their lives. The indicators are: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension.The report updates all indicators as of September 1, 2019, and builds evidence around the linkages between legal gender equality and women's economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make as they go through different stages of their working lives and the pace of reforms over the past 2 years, Women, Business and the Law makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women's economic opportunities and empowerment. While celebrating the progress made, the data and analysis emphasize the work still to be done to ensure economic empowerment for all.
This book features a discussion on the modernisation of law and legal change, focusing on the key concepts of innovation" and "transition". These concepts both appear to be relevant and poorly defined in contemporary legal science. A critical reflection on the heuristic value of these categories seems appropriate, particularly considering their dyadic value. While innovation is increasingly appearing in the present day as being the category in which one looks at the modernisation of law, the concept of transition also seems to be the privileged place of occurrence for such dynamics. This group of Italian and Brazilian scholars contributing to this volume intends to investigate such problems through an interdisciplinary prism. It includes points of view both internal to legal studies - such as the history of law, theory of law, constitutional law, private law and commercial law - and external, such as political philosophy and history of justice and political institutions.
The book brings together contributions from over 35 Portuguese geomorphologists, presenting a thorough overview of the main highlights of the landscape of Portugal's mainland, Azores and Madeira. The book, which is a tribute to Professor António de Brum Ferreira, first President of the Portuguese Association of Geomorphologists and former Professor at the University of Lisbon, who passed away in January 2013, is organized in 3 parts: a) Introduction, which presents a general framework of the physical geography of Portugal, b) Geomorphological landscapes, presenting ca. 30 short papers with regional focus on key geomorphological areas, c) Applied geomorphology, providing an updated vision on the protection of geomorphological heritage with a focus on geoparks, as well as on Geomorphological hazards in Portugal. This first book ever to concentrate on the geomorphology of Portugal will surely become a benchmark for Portuguese geomorphology.

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.
