"A obra coletiva "Responsabilidade civil nas relações de consumo", consiste em mais um empreendimento do Instituto Brasileiro de Estudos de Responsabilidade Civil (IBERC), aqui estruturado no sentido de sistematizar e apresentar as discussões mais recentes relativas ao tema. Para tanto, os coordenadores Carlos Edison do Rêgo Monteiro Filho, Guilherme Magalhães Martins, Nelson Rosenvald e Roberta Densa optaram por fracionar o conteúdo de artigos em quatro eixos temáticos. São eles: Responsabilidade civil e consumo: teoria geral (parte I); Responsabilidade civil, consumidor, tecnologia e risco do desenvolvimento (parte II); Responsabilidade civil, consumo e proteção de dados pessoais (parte III); Responsabilidade civil, superendividamento e novas situações lesivas (parte IV)".
I have lived to see Bombay become Mumbai, Calcutta become Kolkata, and Madras become Chennai. Times change, names change, and if Bond becomes Bonda I won't object.' With these lines, begins another brilliant collection of essays, stories and poems by writer par excellence, Ruskin Bond. With an ability to look at ordinary situations with unique wit and acuity, Ruskin Bond invites us into his home, his countryside, his life. Peopled with monkeys, wild boars, an aunt with a phobia of flowers, an eccentric cousin who thinks he is the great cricket player Ranji, the wise seven-year-old Gautam, this collection is an absorbing read for readers of all ages.

In light of ongoing developments in landscape architecture, the goal is a paradigm shift towards a landscape that restores and rehabilitates urban ecosystems. Nine contributions examine a wide range of successful cases of designing livable and resilient cities in different geographical conte...

It deals with a comprehensive overview of time series characteristics in hydrology/water resources engineering, various tools and techniques for analyzing time series data, theoretical details of 31 available statistical tests along with detailed procedures for applying th...

This book fills an important gap in the literature, and presents contributions from scientists and researchers working in the field of sustainable development who have engaged in dynamic approaches to implementing sustainability in higher education. It is widely known that universities are key players in terms of the implementation and further development of sustainability, with some having the potential of acting as “living labs” in this rapidly growing field. Yet there are virtually no publications that explore the living labs concept as it relates to sustainability, and in an integrated manner. The aims of this book, which is an outcome of the “4th World Symposium on Sustainable Dev...
Millions of readers met crusading epidemiologist Marissa Blumenthal in the pages of the bestselling Outbreak. Now Robin Cook brings back his feisty heroine in a gripping tale, Vital Signs – a roller-coaster ride into the unexpected and the utterly unconscionable. In the eyes of her envious peers, Marissa has it all: a superb professional reputation, a flourishing pediatrics practice, even a fairy-tale marriage with the man of her dreams – Robert Buchanan, an entrepreneur involved in health-care administration and research. But there is one thing Marissa does not have: the child she desperately desires. And when tests confirm that her sealed fallopian tubes have rendered her infertile, he...
