Desconheço escola ou instituição educativa que tem a intenção de formar sujeitos acríticos, submissos ou heterônomos. Pelo contrário, encontra-se presente o mesmo discurso e ideal de autonomia e ética em todas elas. Esses ideais também estão presentes no Abrigo Institucional em que a pesquisa relatada neste livro foi realizada. Contudo, no cotidiano, esse Abrigo, assim como outros, enfrentava muitas dificuldades nas relações, na organização, funcionamento e estrutura que pareciam indicar que, apesar das boas intenções, favorecer a construção da moralidade no cotidiano de uma entidade educativa é algo muito complexo. Do prefácio de Telma Pileggi Vinhas.

It is October, 2005. In an apartment in the upmarket neighbourhood of Sao Paulo, Brazil, 21-year-old Bruna Surfistinha, or Bruna the Surfer Girl, has sexual encounters with up to five men a day. A teen runaway who has had to turn tricks for a living, Bruna begins to write about her experiences in a blog. What she creates is a scintillating soap opera, loaded with family drama, love stories and, of course, sex! Today, Bruna has become a celebrity in Brazil with the runaway bestseller The Scorpion's Sweet Venom: The Diary of a Brazilian Call Girl. Selling over 30,000 copies in its first month, (and over 100,000 copies to date) the book is a vivid, forthright, explosive account of sex for money, for kicks, for fun, and for love. It even offers how-to tips for readers looking to spice up their sex lives. In the tradition of the bestselling The Bride Stripped Bare, In My Skin, Belle de Jour and Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl, this translation of The Scorpion's Sweet Venom is destined to cause a stir with its intimate revelations of Latino lovers and illicit sex and life as a call girl.

Law can be viewed as a body of rules and legal sanctions that channel behavior in socially desirable directions — for example, by encouraging individuals to take proper precautions to prevent accidents or by discouraging competitors from colluding to raise prices. The incentives created by the legal system are thus a natural subject of study by economists. Moreover, given the importance of law to the welfare of societies, the economic analysis of law merits prominent treatment as a subdiscipline of economics. This two volume Handbook is intended to foster the study of the legal system by economists.*The two volumes form a comprehensive and accessible survey of the current state of the field. *Chapters prepared by leading specialists of the area. *Summarizes received results as well as new developments.
Plantation Memories is a compilation of episodes of everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories. From the question “Where do you come from?” to Hair Politics to the N-word, the book is a strong, eloquent, and elaborate piece that deconstructs the normality of everyday racism and exposes the violence of being placed as the Other. Released at the Berlin International Literature Festival in 2008, soon the book became internationally acclaimed and part of numerous academic curricula. Known for her subversive practice of giving body, voice, and image to her own texts, Grada Kilomba has adapted her book into a staged reading and video installation. Plantation Memories is an important contribution to the global cultural discourse.
In Ray Kurzweil's New York Times bestseller The Singularity is Near, the futurist and entrepreneur describes the Singularity, a likely future utterly different than anything we can imagine. The Singularity is triggered by the tremendous growth of human and computing intelligence that is an almost inevitable outcome of Moore's Law. Since the book's publication, the coming of the Singularity is now eagerly anticipated by many of the leading thinkers in Silicon Valley, from PayPal mastermind Peter Thiel to Google co-founder Larry Page. The formation of the Singularity University, and the huge popularity of the Singularity website kurzweilai.com, speak to the importance of this intellectual move...
