Este livro é fruto da minha tese de doutorado, que se debruçou sobre a investigação de aspectos relevantes em torno da penalidade pecuniária na relação jurídico-tributária e seus desdobramentos no sistema jurídico brasileiro.
"A obra ora apresentada/prefaciada, de autoria da jovem Professora e Defensora Pública Federal MARIA ELISA VILLAS-BÔAS, (...) lança um olhar diferenciado para o direito à saúde, especialmente em relação às dificuldades de sua plena efetivação, trazendo importantes aportes teóricos sobre a judicialização desse direito fundamental, a atuação da Defensoria Pública em defesa da cidadania e a escassez dos recursos públicos necessários para sua integral e universal garantia. Tendo como núcleo fundamental a dignidade da pessoa humana, o trabalho propõe a adoção de soluções racionais e justas para alcançar o equilíbrio entre a necessidade de efetivação de um direito fundamental, consagrado constitucionalmente, e a realidade da escassez dos recursos públicos. Para tanto, defende que é fundamental um diálogo e uma permanente interação entre diversos atores e organismos, especialmente entre o judiciário, a defensoria pública, os gestores públicos e os órgãos técnicos de apoio, para um adequado enfrentamento do problema."

Em seu Ética a Nicômaco, Aristóteles demonstrou a ambiguidade da justiça. Se por um lado, diz-se justo aquele que cumpre a lei, por outro, a justiça é identificada com a realização da igualdade, seja na relação entre as pessoas ou na relação entre elas e o governo. O usual raciocínio metódico e perspicaz do estagirita o levou a analisar as nuances ocultas naquelas ambiguidades. Se justo é cumprir a lei, como deve se dar a interpretação e aplicação da lei? Qual o papel do juiz nesse processo? Se justo é dar a cada um o que lhe é devido, quais critérios nos permitem identificar o que é o devido em cada caso? Qual o papel do governo na realização dessa igualdade? Neste ...
Dentre as diversas questões relacionadas à hermenêutica e à justiça constitucional, reunimos na presente obra profundas considerações de docentes da PUC/SP e de pesquisadores do Grupo sobre as "Omissões Inconstitucionais," tema de grande complexidade e que tem sido objeto das discussões realizadas no último ano, identificando ou buscando oferecer respostas a tais lacunas legislativas.
This open access volume presents a comprehensive account of all aspects of biological invasions in South Africa, where research has been conducted over more than three decades, and where bold initiatives have been implemented in attempts to control invasions and to reduce their ecological, economic and social effects. It covers a broad range of themes, including history, policy development and implementation, the status of invasions of animals and plants in terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments, the development of a robust ecological theory around biological invasions, the effectiveness of management interventions, and scenarios for the future. The South African situation stands out because of the remarkable diversity of the country, and the wide range of problems encountered in its varied ecosystems, which has resulted in a disproportionate investment into both research and management. The South African experience holds many lessons for other parts of the world, and this book should be of immense value to researchers, students, managers, and policy-makers who deal with biological invasions and ecosystem management and conservation in most other regions.
The first comprehensive cultural history of Brazil to be written in English, Brazil Imagined: 1500 to the Present captures the role of the artistic imaginary in shaping Brazil's national identity. Analyzing representations of Brazil throughout the world, this ambitious survey demonstrates the ways in which life in one of the world's largest nations has been conceived and revised in visual arts, literature, film, and a variety of other media. Beginning with the first explorations of Brazil by the Portuguese, Darlene J. Sadlier incorporates extensive source material, including paintings, historiographies, letters, poetry, novels, architecture, and mass media to trace the nation's shifting sense of its own history. Topics include the oscillating themes of Edenic and cannibal encounters, Dutch representations of Brazil, regal constructs, the literary imaginary, Modernist utopias, "good neighbor" protocols, and filmmakers' revolutionary and dystopian images of Brazil. A magnificent panoramic study of race, imperialism, natural resources, and other themes in the Brazilian experience, this landmark work is a boon to the field.
Neruda's masterpiece epic poem about the history of a continent and its people.
In Chapters in Brazil's Colonial History, Capistrano de Abreu created an integrated history of Brazil in a landmark work of scholarship that is also a literary masterpiece. Abreu offers a startlingly modern analysis of the past, based on the role of the economy, settlement, and the occupation of the interior. In these pages, he combines sharp portraits of dramatic events--close fought battles against Dutch occupation in the 1650s, Indian resistance to often brutal internal expansion--with insightful social history. A master of Brazil's ethnographic landscape, he provides detailed sketches of daily life for Brazilians of all stripes. Superbly translated by Arthur A. Brakel and edited by Stuart Schwartz and Fernando Novais, this Brazilian classic has never before available in English. Chapters in Brazil's Colonial History opens Brazil's rich, fascinating past to the general reader, and offers scholars access to a great turning point in historical scholarship.
