Foro por prerrogativa de função
O livro retrata o foro por prerrogativa de função a fim de oferecer elementos teóricos, históricos, jurídicos, comparados e dados da realidade, de modo a confirmar ou negar três hipóteses. A primeira é a de que o estado de aplicação do foro por prerrogativa de função fere os princípios da igualdade e republicano no Brasil. A segunda é a de que o foro especial em razão da função estimula a perversidade de um sistema de justiça ineficiente e disfuncional. E a terceira é a de que as propostas veiculadas por interpretação constitucional do foro especial pelo Poder Judiciário parecem ser insuficientes para responder à pretensão social de sua limitação. O livro está estr...
O DIREITO ANIMAL
A obra DIREITO ANIMAL - A TUTELA ÉTICO-JURÍDICA DOS SERES SENCIENTES se propõe a analisar criticamente a concretude dos direitos zoocêntricos dos seres sencientes, realizando o diálogo com a Filosofia, a Sociologia, as Ciências Biológicas e Veterinárias, dentre outras afins. A consolidação desse novo ramo da ciência jurídica – o Direito Animal –, viabiliza a tutela dos animais sencientes como sujeitos de direito, afastando, portanto, a sua objetificação que atenderia apenas a fins econômico-utilitaristas do homem. A presente obra pretende contribuir para reflexões sobre a questão animal e, em que medida, a dimensão biológica da animalidade conflita com a condição ani...
Tropic of Chaos
From Africa to Asia and Latin America, the era of climate wars has begun. Extreme weather is breeding banditry, humanitarian crisis, and state failure. In Tropic of Chaos, investigative journalist Christian Parenti travels along the front lines of this gathering catastrophe--the belt of economically and politically battered postcolonial nations and war zones girding the planet's midlatitudes. Here he finds failed states amid climatic disasters. But he also reveals the unsettling presence of Western military forces and explains how they see an opportunity in the crisis to prepare for open-ended global counterinsurgency. Parenti argues that this incipient "climate fascism" -- a political hardening of wealthy states-- is bound to fail. The struggling states of the developing world cannot be allowed to collapse, as they will take other nations down as well. Instead, we must work to meet the challenge of climate-driven violence with a very different set of sustainable economic and development policies.

The Florida Manatee
From two scientists who have been at the forefront of manatee research for over three decades, The Florida Manatee offers an engaging, accessible introduction to manatee biology, including communication, diet, long-distance migration, and much more. This second edition is updated with new scientific research, as well as discussions of recent conservation efforts—largely driven by manatee injuries and deaths resulting from boat collisions—that have contributed to the robust growth of manatee numbers in Florida. It also includes the latest predictions for manatee populations and health in the future, both in Florida and worldwide. This is the perfect book for anyone seeking the most comprehensive, current information on this fascinating marine mammal.
Agricultural Research in Africa
This book—prepared by Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI), which is led by IFPRI—offers a comprehensive perspective on the evolution, current status, and future goals of agricultural research and development in Africa, including analyses of the complex underlying issues and challenges involved, as well as insights into how they might be overcome. Agriculture in Africa south of the Sahara is at a prospective tipping point. Growth has accelerated in the past decade, but is unsustainable given increasing use of finite resources. The yield gap in African agriculture is significant, and scenarios on feeding the world’s population into the future highlight the need for Africa to expand its agricultural production. Agricultural Research in Africa: Investing in Future Harvests discusses the need to shift to a growth path based on increased productivity—as in the rest of the developing world— which is essential if Africa is to increase rural incomes and compete in both domestic and international markets. Such a shift ultimately requires building on evolving improvements that collectively translate to deepening rural innovation capacity.
