The Amazon region is the focus of intense conflict between conservationists concerned with deforestation and advocates of agro-industrial development. This book focuses on the contributions of environmental organizations to the preservation of Brazilian Amazonia. It reveals how environmental organizations such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, WWF and others have fought fiercely to stop deforestation in the region. It documents how the history of frontier expansion and environmental struggle in the region is linked to Brazil’s position in an evolving capitalist world-economy. It is shown how Brazil’s effort to become a developed country has led successive Brazilian governments to devise development projects for Amazonia. The author analyses how globalization has led to the expansion of international commodity chains in the region, particularly for mineral ores, soybeans and beef. He shows how environmental organizations have politicized these commodity chains as weapons of conservation, through boycotting certain products, while other pro-development groups within Brazil claim that such organizations threaten Brazil's sovereignty over its own resources.

Qual o futuro da universalização das telecomunicações? Olhar para o passado permite tanto aprender com erros e acertos quanto analisar a constante evolução do arranjo institucional pertinente a essa política pública. Desse modo, este livro "faz referência a problemas jurídicos reais enfrentados no passado e aqueles que ainda estão presentes na implementação da agenda da universalização das telecomunicações" (da Apresentação, escrita pelo professor Jacintho Arruda Câmara), repensando instrumentos para oferecer banda larga e conectividade significativa aos usuários, a despeito de sua renda. Como resultado, a obra é "a mais atual e bem-feita discussão acadêmica sobre o desafio colossal – mas que não há de ser invencível – de superar, no Brasil, o déficit de acesso àquilo que hoje, em larga medida, move as engrenagens econômicas e sociais: informação em ambiente digital" (do Prefácio, escrito pelo professor Diogo R. Coutinho).
The book addresses the needs of researchers on the fundamentals as well as more advanced knowledge on microgrids and their evolution. This book covers newly emerging trends in fields such as Computer Science, Energy, Electrical Engineering, and Electronics and brings the reader up-to-date on the new emerging fields that play an important role in the power infrastructure. This book provides knowledge on decision making for newly evolving trends in microgrid design. It discusses techniques on how to improve the existing power quality and reduce load shedding and power imbalances. The book presents the emerging fields that now play an important role in microgrid design such as Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, and IT. The readership includes researchers, academia, practicing engineers, consumers, power companies and policy makers located across the globe.
