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.
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, ...
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
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...

The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
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.
