Africa’s Joola Shipwreck
In 2002, a government-owned Senegalese ferry named the Joola capsized in a storm off the coast of The Gambia in a tragedy that killed 1,863 people and left 64 survivors, only one of them female. The Joola caused more human suffering than the Titanic yet no scholarly research to date has explored the political and environmental conditions in which this African crisis occurred. Africa’s Joola Shipwreck: Causes and Consequences of a Humanitarian Disaster investigates the roots of the Joola shipwreck and its consequences for Senegalese people, particularly those living in the rural south. Using three summers of field research in Senegal, Karen Samantha Barton unravels the geographical forces such as migration, colonial cartographies, and geographies of the sea that led to this humanitarian disaster and defined its aftermath. Barton shows how the Sufi tenet of “beautiful optimism” shaped community resilience in the wake of the shipwreck, despite the repercussions the event had on Senegalese society and space.

Direito da Eficiência Energética
Se quisermos definir este Direito da Eficiência Energética em poucas palavras teremos de o caracterizar como abrangente e complexo. O nosso objectivo foi integrar num único volume a análise de todas as áreas jurídico-sectoriais que actualmente são abrangidas pela programação das políticasde eficiência energética e por isso o resultado final é abrangente. Procurámosatingir este desígnio juntando não apenas diversos contributos científicos,mas também diferentes visões, experiências e entendimentos do que é, doque pode ser e do que se espera que venha a ser mais esta especialização do“novo direito administrativo”. Queremos com isto alertar o leitor para ofacto de estar perante textos que não apenas representam diferentes competências e diversas experiências profissionais, como ainda diferentes mundividências, pois a preocupação não se cingiu a procurar as complementaridades entre académicos e profissionais do sector, mas igualmente entregerações. Este projecto permitiu assim aliar a valia científica, que agora é doconhecimento de todos, a um corpus imaterial que subjaz à urdidura destaspáginas.
