Cultura da Justiça Ambiental
Segundo o índice da Global Footprint Network de 2023, se toda a humanidade consumisse os recursos naturais no mesmo ritmo que o Brasil, todos os recursos teriam acabado em 12 de agosto deste mesmo ano, já considerando a capacidade de regeneração da Terra – a esse dia dá-se o nome de Dia de Sobrecarga da Terra (Earth Overshoot Day). Até que ponto se pode julgar tal dado aceitável? E seria aceitável? Se a existência do ser humano depende de um fator relacional com o seu entorno, então não se pode existir se não se sabe onde está. O estudo da cultura da Justiça Ambiental propõe um debate crítico da relação do ser humano com o meio ambiente no espaço e tempo. Nesse sentido, ...
Temas Contemporâneos de Direito
"Enquanto há vida, há esperança". A frase de Stephen Hawking indica que a persistência é a força motriz diante de qualquer obstáculo, não há tempo a perder. A urgência em seguir não é urgência, é caminho. Neste VIII volume de Temas Contemporâneos de Direito, abordam-se os mais controversos assuntos do mundo jurídico, cuja relevância irradia-se ainda na Política, Antropologia e Filosofia. Abordando assuntos como pandemia, corrupção, feminicídio, reforma trabalhista, conflitos migratórios, tributação ambiental, previdência e transexuais, dentre outros, a presente obra lança-se no contexto atual e propõe-se ao debate sem data vênia. Por certo que a leitura dos artigos que a compõem revelam que a única intransigência a se aceitar é a por um mundo melhor.

Leadership and Growth
Does leadership affect economic growth and development? Is leadership an exogenous determinant or an endogenous outcome of growth and development processes? Can we differentiate between the two? Do leaders decisions and actions vary in importance over various stages in the process, at least in successful cases? How important is choosing the right economic model? To what extent does leadership affect the explicit or implicit time horizons of policy choices? Is leadership an important determinant of inclusiveness in growth? In what ways do leaders build consensus or institutions to allow time for the economic plan to work? What challenges does economic success generate? How do successful leade...

Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter.

Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is being rapidly introduced into the clinical management of early breast cancer. APBI, in fact, encompasses a number of different techniques and approaches that include brachytherapy, intraoperative, and external beam techniques. There is currently no single source that describes these techniques and their clinical implementation. This text is a concise handbook designed to assist the clinician in the implementation of APBI. This includes a review of the principles that underlie APBI, a practical and detailed description of each technique for APBI, a review of current clinical results of APBI, and a review of the incidence and management of treatment related complications.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
