Este livro aborda os temas desenvolvimento sustentável e educação ambiental, com destaque especial para a aplicação da Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental (Lei 9.795/99) em projetos de pesquisa e extensão de instituições públicas de ensino sul mineiras.
O presente livro apresenta a Tributação Ambiental como instrumento de intervenção estatal tributária nas relações econômicas, sociais, culturais, políticas, jurídicas e ambientais, no intuito de estimular a prática de condutas ambientalmente salutares e, ao mesmo tempo, inibir as que se revelam mais gravosas à Natureza e à manutenção do seu equilíbrio ecológico. Abordam-se, para tanto, as experiências nacional e estrangeira referentes à utilização das diversas espécies tributárias como veículos de Política Fiscal Ambiental na busca pela realização de ambientes saudáveis e aptos a oferecer qualidade de vida às populações. Aborda a obra, em especial, a função extrafiscal socioambiental dos impostos imobiliários brasileiros – o IPTU e o ITR – demonstrando os seus respectivos potenciais de incentivos e coerções fiscais de desenvolvimento da consciência ecológica para que haja o devido cumprimento da função socioambiental da propriedade.

At a time of societal urgency surrounding ecological crises from depleted fisheries to mineral extraction and potential pathways towards environmental and ecological justice, this book re-examines ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) from a historical and comparative perspective. The theory of ecologically unequal exchange posits that core or northern consumption and capital accumulation is based on peripheral or southern environmental degradation and extraction. In other words, structures of social and environmental inequality between the Global North and Global South are founded in the extraction of materials from, as well as displacement of waste to, the South. This volume represents a set...

In humanitys struggle to find timely solutions to environmental problems, it is easily forgotten that access to our shared spaces has never been equal. This collection deals with the landscapes and places of rural, urban, and wilderness areas in relation development. Contributions examine the complex relationship that human beings maintain with their rural and urban environments and with other species in various places and spaces. Nothing is taken for granted: colonial history, globalization, localization, hybrid relationships, colonial or "shared"architecture, religious backgrounds, and claims to equal access all fuse with policy strategies. This volume discusses these issues within the framework of developmental discourse, while asserting the rights of access to the global commons for all world citizens as well as other species.
Mark Ridley's Evolution has become the premier undergraduate text in the study of evolution. Readable and stimulating, yet well-balanced and in-depth, this text tells the story of evolution, from the history of the study to the most revent developments in evolutionary theory.

The sections on adaptation and diversity have been reorganized for improved clarity and flow, and a completely updated section on the evolution of sex and the inclusion of more plant examples have all helped to shape this new edition. Evolution also features strong, balanced coverage of population genetics, and scores of new appli...
This 1991 book was the first ever English rendition of the classic statement of divine right absolutism, published in 1707. Jacques-Benigne Bossuet argues in the Politics that a general society of the entire human race, governed by Christian charity, has given way (after the Fall) to the necessity of politcs, law, and absolute hereditary monarchy. That monarchy - seen as natural, universal and divinely ordained (beginning with David and Solomon) is defended in the first half of the book. The last part, added soon before Bossuet's death, goes on to take up the rights of the Church, the distinction between absolutism and arbitrariness, and causes of just war. Patrick Riley has provided full supporting materials including a chronology, guide to further reading, and a lucid introduction placing Bossuet in his historical and intellectual context.
