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, Africa 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.
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...
Advances in Ergonomics in Design
This book provides readers with a timely snapshot of ergonomics research and methods applied to the design, development and prototyping – as well as the evaluation, training and manufacturing – of products, systems and services. Combining theoretical contributions, case studies, and reports on technical interventions, it covers a wide range of topics in ergonomic design including: ecological design; cultural and ethical aspects in design; Interface design, user involvement and human–computer interaction in design; as well as design for accessibility and many others. The book particularly focuses on new technologies such as virtual reality, state-of-the-art methodologies in information design, and human–computer interfaces. Based on the AHFE 2019 International Conference on Ergonomics in Design, held on July 24-28, 2019, Washington D.C., USA, the book offers a timely guide for both researchers and design practitioners, including industrial designers, human–computer interaction and user experience researchers, production engineers and applied psychologists.
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.
The Oxford Handbook of Portuguese Politics
The Oxford Handbook of Portuguese Politics brings together the best scholars in the field offering an unrivalled coverage of the politics (broadly defined) of the country over the past 50 years. The Handbook includes eight sections. First, it looks at the past and present by making an overview of Portuguese political developments since democratization in the 1970s. Second, it looks at political institutions as the building blocks of Portuguese democracy. The third section examines mass politics and voters, that is, a thorough analysis of the demand-side of mass politics. The fourth section turns to the supply side of mass-politics by looking at parties and the party system. The fifth section looks at the Portuguese society by unpacking a plethora of societal aspects with direct implications for politics. The sixth section examines governance and public policies, with a view to understanding how a constellation of public policies has an impact on the quality of governance and in fostering well-being. The seventh section looks at Portugal and the European Union. The eighth and final section unpacks Portuguese foreign policy and defence.
