"Ficamos felizes em poder falar do sucesso da experiência de Assis. Essa publicação muito nos anima, principalmente pelo potencial de encorajar milhares de municípios a seguir a mesma trilha. Mais que apresentar um projeto, o ato de compartilhar o aprendizado adquirido mostra possibilidades de atuação, o que pode ser muito enriquecedor." - Sérgio Mindlin, Presidente da Fundação Telefônica. "A iniciativa da Rede Ciranda da Criança e do Adolescente, vinculada ao Conselho Municipal de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente, o livro abarca um amplo conjunto de práticas sociais em curso nos últimos anos no município de Assis. Divulgá-las já seria uma relevante contribuição. Contudo, este livro vai além, incorporando um conjunto de capítulos com reflexões e análises sobre aquelas experiências e contribuindo para qualificar o debate sobre o tema, seus desafios e perspectivas." - Márcia Lopes, Ministra do Desenvolvimento Social e Combate à Fome do Governo Lula.

With the collapse of the bipolar system of global rivalry that dominated world politics after the Second World War, and in an age that is seeing the return of “ethnic cleansing” and “identity politics,” the question of violence, in all of its multiple ramifications, imposes itself with renewed urgency. Rather than concentrating on the socioeconomic or political backgrounds of these historical changes, the contributors to this volume rethink the concept of violence, both in itself and in relation to the formation and transformation of identities, whether individual or collective, political or cultural, religious or secular. In particular, they subject the notion of self-determination ...
One of the main concerns of the food industry is the need for high-quality fresh fruits and fruit products with good sensory quality, long shelf life, and high nutritional value. To meet these demands, new processing technologies are under investigation and development.

With contributions from a panel of international researchers who present a blend of classical and emerging technologies, the book explores: Ozone, ultrasound, irradiation, pulsed electric field, vacuum frying, and high-pressure processing Ultraviolet and membrane...
Preventing sweeping human rights violations or wars and rebuilding societies in their aftermath require an approach encompassing the perspectives of both human rights advocates and practitioners of conflict resolution. While these two groups work to achieve many of the same goals—notably to end violence and loss of life—they often make different assumptions, apply different methods, and operate under different values and institutional constraints. As a result, they may adopt conflicting or even mutually exclusive approaches to the same problem. Eileen F. Babbitt and Ellen L. Lutz have collected groundbreaking essays exploring the relationship between human rights and conflict resolution. Employing a case study approach, the contributing authors examine three areas of conflict—Sierra Leone, Colombia, and Northern Ireland—from the perspectives of participants in both the peace-making and human rights efforts in each country. By spotlighting the role of activists and reflecting on what was learned in these cases, this volume seeks to push scholars and practitioners of both conflict resolution and human rights to think more creatively about the intersection of these two fields.
Transnational Law and Practice emphasizes the knowledge and skills that students need to solve the real-world transnational legal problems they are likely to encounter as lawyers in today’s globalized world—regardless of their field of practice and regardless of whether they are interested in international law as such. The casebook covers public international law and international courts; but unlike traditional international law casebooks, it urges students not to be “international law-centric” or “international court-centric” and gives them the resources to learn how to use national law and national courts, and private norms and alternative dispute resolution methods, to solve t...
