Em continuidade ao livro História do Direito: ascensão e degeneração do pensamento jurídico, a presente leitura tem como principal finalidade apresentar ao leitor a ossatura de algo que pode ser chamado de existência jurídica, dividindo-a em planos existenciais. Por meio da técnica da substanciação, o leitor é levado do plano físico ao metaf ísico, do metaf ísico ao transmetaf ísico, até chegar ao conhecimento intelectual do ser primeiro, sendo iniciado em uma cadeira jamais abordada outrora: a teologia jurídica. Todo o percurso de reconexão do Direito com o caminho ascendente é analisado, tanto quanto possível, sob o viés jurídico. Apresentada a existência jurídica, o livro volta ao plano f ísico, cunhando as linhas gerais de uma doutrina substancial, capaz de ser aplicada na solução de casos concretos contemporâneos. Dada a sua riqueza de conteúdo filosófico, teológico e prático, esta leitura é uma excelente fonte de estudos filosóficos relacionados ao Direito, servindo tanto a estudantes quanto a profissionais, bem como a todos aqueles que se interessam, de algum modo, pela cultura do Direito.
O presente livro tem como principal finalidade preparar o leitor para a compreensão de uma forma diferente de se enxergar o Direito. Como essa mudança de paradigma deve necessariamente passar pela marcha histórica do pensamento jurídico, a obra propõe-se a apresentar, num primeiro momento, a ascensão desse pensamento — que se inicia com o Direito greco-romano e encontra seu ápice na Filosofia de Santo Tomás de Aquino — e, num segundo momento, aborda a sua degeneração, escancarando as raízes históricas da atual problemática do ativismo judicial. Nesse percurso, o autor não se furta de trazer à obra exemplos atuais, demonstrando a conexão entre a história e o Direito pós-moderno. Dada a sua riqueza de conteúdo, esta leitura é uma excelente fonte de informações relacionadas ao pensamento jurídico, servindo tanto a estudantes quanto a profissionais, bem como a todos aqueles que se interessam, de algum modo, pela cultura do Direito.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
This volume presents a broad panorama of the current status of research of invertebrate animals considered belonging to the phylum Cnidaria, such as hydra, jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral. In this book the Cnidarians are traced from the Earth’s primordial oceans, to their response to the warming and acidifying oceans. Due to the role of corals in the carbon and calcium cycles, various aspects of cnidarian calcification are discussed. The relation of the Cnidaria with Mankind is approached, in accordance with the Editors’ philosophy of bridging the artificial schism between science, arts and Humanities. Cnidarians' encounters with humans result in a broad spectrum of medical emergencies that are reviewed. The final section of the volume is devoted to the role of Hydra and Medusa in mythology and art.

National Perspectives on the Global Second World War is an essential contribution to the study of the Second World War and will be of particular interest to scholars of imperial and colonial history, military history, and global history.
