O livro oferece olhares distintos sobre o mundo da energia e seus desafios. Há um arco-íris de temas que abrange os assuntos mais intrínsecos ao núcleo do serviço público de energia, bem como avança para questões tributárias, trabalhistas, ambientais e administrativas que tangenciam a atividade-fim das empresas de energia. O livro é, portanto, único pela amplitude de sua abrangência, além de ser escrito por quem vive o cotidiano do mundo da energia.
"Há 30 anos, mais precisamente em 11.09.1990, era sancionada a Lei 8.078, mais conhecida como Código de Defesa do Consumidor, entrando em vigor 6 meses depois. Ao contrário do que muitos possam pensar, não se tratava nem de uma novidade no cenário jurídico, nem de uma panaceia para todos os males que afligem todos nós, afinal de contas, consumidores de bens e serviços a todo instante de nossas vidas. Com efeito, quando nossa comissão, foi designada em junho de 1988, pelo então Ministro da Justiça Paulo Brossard, por proposta do extinto Conselho Nacional de Defesa do Consumidor, a tarefa se nos apresentou como sendo de grande responsabilidade, mas não cuidamos de reinventar a roda...
The dominance of legislatures and statutory law has put an impossible burden on the courts. Guido Calabresi thinks it is time for this country seriously to consider returning to a traditional American judicial–legislative balance in which courts would enlarge the common law and would also decide when a rule of law has seen its day and should be revised.

"The Architectural Legacy of Alfred Giles focuses on architect Alfred Giles' work in Texas and Northern Mexico. Giles, who practiced from the 1870s to the 1920s after emigrating from England, designed buildings reflecting a great variety of styles derived from architectural forms of the past, combining them in original ways. Giles produced designs for unpretentious domestic residences and showy mansions, county courthouses, and commercial and institutional structures all over Texas. He adapted and combined stylistic elements with restraint, sobriety, and simplicity." "In the Architectural Legacy of Alfred Giles, Mary Carolyn Hollers George highlights the Giles buildings in Texas that have been heroically restored in the last thirty years, many as a result of the leadership of the San Antonio Conversation Society, the Texas Historical Commission, and various advocacy groups. An appendix details Giles' accomplishments in northern Mexico. Color photographs of the restored sites, taken by architect Eugene George, complement black-and-white historical photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
Guido Mazzoni tells the story of poetry’s revolution in the modern age. The chief transformation was the rise of the lyric as it is now conceived: a genre in which a first-person speaker talks about itself. Mazzoni argues that modern poetry embodies the age of the individual and has wrought profound changes in the expectations of readers.
Novelist, scholar, journalist, statesman, and leading member of Chile's "Generation of 1842"--an intellectual movement so named for the founding of the National University--José Victorino Lastarria (1811-1888) lived his life at the forefront of nineteenth-century Chilean and Spanish American culture, literature, and politics. Recuerdos Literarios (or Literary Memoirs) is his masterpiece, encompassing the candid memories of a tireless activist, both the creative and critical sensibilities of an influential Latin American early modernist, and an eyewitness account of the development of Chilean literature and historiography. An ardent, eloquent participant in every defining artistic and ideolo...
