Se quisermos definir este Direito da Eficiência Energética em poucas palavras teremos de o caracterizar como abrangente e complexo. O nosso objectivo foi integrar num único volume a análise de todas as áreas jurídico-sectoriais que actualmente são abrangidas pela programação das políticasde eficiência energética e por isso o resultado final é abrangente. Procurámosatingir este desígnio juntando não apenas diversos contributos científicos,mas também diferentes visões, experiências e entendimentos do que é, doque pode ser e do que se espera que venha a ser mais esta especialização do“novo direito administrativo”. Queremos com isto alertar o leitor para ofacto de estar perante textos que não apenas representam diferentes competências e diversas experiências profissionais, como ainda diferentes mundividências, pois a preocupação não se cingiu a procurar as complementaridades entre académicos e profissionais do sector, mas igualmente entregerações. Este projecto permitiu assim aliar a valia científica, que agora é doconhecimento de todos, a um corpus imaterial que subjaz à urdidura destaspáginas.

The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism. Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University.

Genotoxicity and DNA Repair: A Practical Approach provides a key reference for determining how to analyze the genotoxic activity of molecules or materials and, at the same time, serves as a useful tool for researchers in the Environmental Mutagenesis and DNA Repair fields. Focused on genotoxicity assays recommended by the “OECD guidelines for the testing of chemicals”, this volume also covers other useful assays, such as some gene mutation assays, the comet assay in different species and applications, and the SMART assays of Drosophila. For all the assays, the book presents brief theoretical introductions to the topics and updated standard and modified step-by-step protocols to perform t...

As this century comes to a close, debates over immigration policy, racial preferences, and multiculturalism challenge the consensus that formerly grounded our national culture.

In this "marvelously written, wide-ranging and thought-provoking"* book, Michael Lind provides a comprehensive revisionist view of the American past and offers a concrete proposal for nation-building reforms to strengthe...
