Economia: Globalização e desenvolvimento
A convergente dinâmica geoeconômica, identificada como globalização, trata-se de um fenômeno integrativo da economia no espaço, construído por meio de distintas ondas cíclicas de acumulação de longa duração no sistema capitalista desde o século XV, a despeito de divergentes vetores geopolíticos e geoculturais no sistema internacional. Como fenômeno de curta duração, a globalização caracteriza-se nas últimas cinco décadas pelo aumento da interdependência econômica no mundo por meio da ampliação do sistema capitalista no globo por meio do retorno a uma agenda com predominância tecno-financeira de acumulação em detrimento das tradicionais agendas de acumulação prod...

The Basics of Bioethics
The third edition of The Basics of Bioethics continues to provide a balanced and systematic ethical framework to help students analyze a wide range of controversial topics in medicine, and consider ethical systems from various religious and secular traditions. The Basics of Bioethics covers the “Principalist” approach and identifies principles that are believed to make behavior morally right or wrong. It showcases alternative ethical approaches to health care decision making by presenting Hippocratic ethics as only one among many alternative ethical approaches to health care decision-making. The Basics of Bioethics offers case studies, diagrams, and other learning aids for an accessible presentation. Plus, it contains an all-encompassing ethics chart that shows the major questions in ethics and all of the major answers to these questions.

The Conservation of Cultural Landscapes
The conservation and management of cultural landscapes, interpreted as the result of the interrelationships among economic, social and environmental factors through time and space, emerges as essential components in the definition and application of a modern approach to sustainable development. Cultural landscapes are the result of management practices and knowledge accumulated in human history and contribute not only to the cultural heritage of the world, but also to biodiversity and aesthetic beauty, providing also multiple goods and services for the development of rural areas. However, landscapes are severely endangered not only by some effects of the socioeconomic development, but also by inappropriate policies in agriculture, forestry and nature conservation. This interdisciplinary book presents a range of different methods developed to analyse, restore and manage cultural landscapes, reporting a number of case studies from Europe and north America, but raising some questions about the need for a revision of some past orientations.
