Abortar?

Amanda conhece o homem da sua vida e vive a felicidade ao seu lado. Grávida, ela conta ao seu príncipe, que some sem deixar rastros. Abandonada, sozinha e aterrorizada, Amanda entra em pânico e procura uma maneira de resolver o seu problema. Mas é fácil ou simples solucionar um problema como esse? Por um lado o coração do feto bate indicando que está vivo, por outro, ainda não nasceu e não faz parte do mundo. A barriga ainda não cresceu e tudo pode voltar a ser como era antes, ou não? Aceitar as mudanças provocadas por um filho na vida é mais difícil do que esquecer alguém que deixou de existir por fazer tal escolha, ou isso é um fardo pesado demais para carregar na consciência por uma vida inteira? Amanda passa por uma situação similar à de várias pessoas no mundo, quando se deparam com uma circunstância em que perdem o controle, o medo aparece intensamente e o pânico se instala. Explore o interior de Amanda, suas emoções e pensamentos inconscientes, o qual reflete no exterior por meio dos eu comportamento, criando a realidade visível e inegável.

Direct Democracy Worldwide

Challenging the common assumption that models of direct democracy and representative democracy are necessarily at odds, Direct Democracy Worldwide demonstrates how practices of direct and representative democracy interact under different institutional settings and uncovers the conditions that allow them to coexist in a mutually reinforcing manner. Whereas citizen-initiated mechanisms of direct democracy can spur productive relationships between citizens and political parties, other mechanisms of direct democracy often help leaders bypass other representative institutions, undermining republican checks and balances. The book also demonstrates that the embrace of direct democracy is costly, may generate uncertainties and inconsistencies, and can be manipulated. Nonetheless, the promise of direct democracy should not be dismissed. Direct democracy is much more than a simple, pragmatic second choice when representative democracy seems not to be working as expected. Properly designed, it can empower citizens, breaking through some of the institutionalized barriers to accountability that arise in representative systems.

The Oxford Handbook of European Legal History

  • Categories: Law

European law, including both civil law and common law, has gone through several major phases of expansion in the world. European legal history thus also is a history of legal transplants and cultural borrowings, which national legal histories as products of nineteenth-century historicism have until recently largely left unconsidered. The Handbook of European Legal History supplies its readers with an overview of the different phases of European legal history in the light of today's state-of-the-art research, by offering cutting-edge views on research questions currently emerging in international discussions. The Handbook takes a broad approach to its subject matter both nationally and system...

Foams and Emulsions

A general and introductory survey of foams, emulsions and cellular materials. Foams and emulsions are illustrations of some fundamental concepts in statistical thermodynamics, rheology, elasticity and the physics and chemistry of divided media and interfaces. They also give rise to some of the most beautiful geometrical shapes and tilings, ordered or disordered. The chapters are grouped into sections having fairly loose boundaries. Each chapter is intelligible alone, but cross referencing means that the few concepts that may not be familiar to the reader can be found in other chapters in the book. Audience: Research students, researchers and teachers in physics, physical chemistry, materials science, mechanical engineering and geometry.

Aboveground-Belowground Linkages

Aboveground-Belowground Linkages provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive synthesis of recent advances in our understanding of the roles that interactions between aboveground and belowground communities play in regulating the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems, and their responses to global change. It charts the historical development of this field of ecology and evaluates what can be learned from the recent proliferation of studies on the ecological and biogeochemical significance of aboveground-belowground linkages. The book is structured around four key topics: biotic interactions in the soil; plant community effects; the role of aboveground consumers; and the influence of species gains and losses. A concluding chapter draws together this information and identifies a number of cross-cutting themes, including consideration of aboveground-belowground feedbacks that occur at different spatial and temporal scales, the consequences of these feedbacks for ecosystem processes, and how aboveground-belowground interactions link to human-induced global change.
