Solidarity Economy
Solidarity economy-based alternative spaces result from an interface among structural factors, institutional regimes and forms of collective action that mobilise narratives of change, collective identities and non-capitalist economic practices. This book analyses how solidarity economy initiatives develop alternative spatialities as counterpower to mainstream economy. Based on case studies in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, it elaborates on how different scales of solidarity economy-based alternative spaces result from an interface among structural factors, institutional regimes and forms of collective action that mobilise narratives of change, collective identities and non-capitalist economic practices.

Ativismo patrocinado pelo Estado
O livro analisa a força de movimentos sociais na construção da bem-sucedida política brasileira de HIV/Aids, mostrando a importante coalizão entre ativismo e burocracia estatal para a construção de políticas públicas. Na pesquisa que originou a obra, a cientista política norte-americana Jessica Rich propõe uma série de relevantes contribuições sobre a história de resposta social e política do Brasil diante da epidemia de Aids, desde o início dos anos 1980. A partir do que ela chama de corporativismo cívico, a autora analisa as políticas de HIV e Aids no país para desvendar as relações complexas entre a sociedade e o Estado no contexto do Brasil democrático. Dividido em sete capítulos, o título é uma tradução - feita por Maria Lucia de Oliveira - de State-Sponsored Activism: Bureaucrats and Social Movements in Democratic Brazil, publicado em 2019 pela Cambridge University Press.

Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Experiments for the Laboratory Classroom
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
Sustainable Innovation in Food Product Design
This book comes out of the 12th Iberoamerican Congress of Food Engineering, which took place at the University of Algarve in Faro, Portugal in July 2019. It includes the editors' selection of the best research works from oral and poster presentations delivered at the conference. The first section is dedicated to research carried out on SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES TO CHEMICAL ADDITIVES TO EXTEND SHELF LIFE, with special emphasis on animal products. The second section discusses recent research in SUSTAINABLE NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. The third section delves into the development of PLANT-BASED ALTERNATIVES TO DAIRY AND GLUTEN BASED CEREALS. The fourth section tackles CONSUMER BEHAVIOR regarding food products with new sources of protein (e.g. insects) or new sources of important nutrients (e.g. seaweeds) and the fifth discusses the VALORIZATION OF BY-PRODUCTS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY (from fruits and wine making). For food engineers, food technologists, and food scientists looking to stay up-to-date in this field of sustainable food engineering, Sustainable Innovation in Food Product Design is the ideal resource.
Três Vidas ao Espelho
Romance alegre e reconfortante, este livro é o elogio do emigrante português e dos contrabandistas da raia, que tiveram um papel crucial na economia das regiões portuguesas vizinhas da fronteira espanhola. Conta a história de dois emigrantes que foram bem-sucedidos e mostra, de forma detalhada, a vida nos finais dos anos quarenta de uma aldeia portuguesa perdida entre pedras e solidão, nos arredores de Vilar Formoso - a Bismula -, cujos habitantes se dedicavam à pastorícia, à agricultura e... ao contrabando. Acima de tudo, este romance é uma magnífica história de amizade e de fidelidade a um nome. E de fidelidade à coerência das vidas. Ao exumarem o cadáver de Brigas, enterrado...
