Bioética não é confortável. Confortável são os costumes e os hábitos. A bioética aponta incoerências e questiona costumes, alguns nos quais antes sequer havíamos percebido que havia um por quê de fazer daquele jeito. Desde os primeiros relatos de Ética de que temos notícias, desde a época de Sócrates (o filósofo, não o jogador, que por sinal, também questionava), estas perguntas têm feito seu papel de trazer novas reflexões, novos debates, novos diálogos, novos consensos e entre trancos e barrancos, a despeito das injustiças e das tragédias, ao longo dos séculos seguimos com uma melhoria discreta e contínua na nossa história como sociedades. Nem sempre com momentos ...
A Bioética caminha rumo à proteção e promoção da dignidade humana, à efetivação do meio ambiente sustentável e ao cumprimento da Agenda 2030 da ONU, com o imperativo objetivo de combater a fome, a miséria e melhorar as condições de vida do Planeta. Neste contexto, esta obra contribui significativamente, mediante reflexões de renomados bioeticistas nacionais e internacionais, discutindo temas indispensáveis à compreensão da Bioética contemporânea. Além dos substanciosos temas tecidos de forma a compor um matiz das grandes inquietações bioéticas do momento pandêmico, a obra contém um diferencial: "Saúde da pessoa com deficiência - humanização e bioética no cuidado" capítulo que se torna uma homenagem póstuma ao inesquecível bioeticista Christian de Paul de Barchifonteine, falecido em 2021, deixando um sólido legado no campo da humanização das relações e da Bioética assistencial.

A hub for barefoot bohemians and glamorous goddesses, Tulum is a Mayan hideaway that perfectly distills the gypset lifestyle. An off-grid escape for nomadic creatives, it is a playground for spirituality and community. This tiny, idyllic eight-mile strip of sand on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is tucked between a tropical jungle, Mayan ruins, and the Sian Ka’an biosphere: It’s a heady vortex. Tulum’s isolated and breathtakingly beautiful environment also makes it the perfect place for those craving a deeper connection with themselves, others, and nature. Seekers (sun, spiritual, and otherwise) pilgrimage to this beach settlement in droves to join this avant-garde template for a new bohemian lifestyle that prioritizes healing, eco-friendly practices and organic cuisine. The boho-chic crowd’s home away from home, Tulum is a rare and successful modern experiment in both consciousness and sophistication, bolstered by its down-to-earth hotels, mesmerizing cenotes, and lush backdrop.
'A man's story is always badly told. That's because a person never stops being born. Nobody leads one sole life, we are all multiplied into different and ever-changeable men.' So it is with all the stories in this collection, which never make a definitive judgement on the individual life, but only suggest its possibilities. Set in Mozambique, the stories reflect the legacy of Portuguese colonialism and the tragedy of the subsequent civil war. Mia Couto's first collection, Voices Made Night, was described as 'lyrical', 'magical' and 'compassionate' by the reviewers, who were unanimous in identifying a significant new talent from the continent. This volume confirms that judgement.
Spellbinding examination of power, violence, and mythmaking in the midst of colonial conquest and anticolonial resistance
Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge lives next door to a nursing home. When he finds out that his special friend, Nancy Alison Delacourt Cooper, is losing her memory he sets out to find what a memory is.
While standing in the confines of that famed Milwaukeean Police Dept., camera lights flashed from all angles like a premiere of some Stephen King movie; capturing a parade of celebrities on strips of celluloid, as Jeffrey 'The Candy Man' Dahmer requested a Hershey Milk chocolate bar. One officer leaped like a jack-in-the-box to accommodate him; jerking on a silver knob of a seemingly smiling vending machine, as a piece of candy wrapped in glossy brown paper hit down with a thud, like a body in a state of rigor mortis being dropped on a hot tin roof...
To be human is to experience fear, but what is it exactly that makes us fearful? Here is one geographer’s striking exploration of our landscapes of fear as they change throughout our lives and have changed throughout history. Yi-fu Tuan investigates landscapes of the natural environment which are threatening, and landscapes filled with the dark imageries of the mind; fears of drought, flood, famine, and disease, shared by all members of a community, and fears of the particular ghosts which haunt the individual imagination. In this lucidly-written, ground-breaking survey, Professor Tuan delves into many cultures and reaches back into our prehistory to discover what is universal and what is ...
