Entre 2014 e 2016 a bacia hidrográfica do rio Paraíba do Sul passou pela maior estiagem de sua história. Nesse período, em conjunto com a situação do baixo nível dos reservatórios da bacia e as dificuldades de abastecimento humano e dessentação dos animais, um conflito federativo se instalou entre os estados de São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais, pela ocasião da solicitação dos primeiros para transposição de águas do rio federal.

A obra “A Ilha de Max”, escrita pela professora Sarah Vervloet, é uma narrativa envolvente e reflexiva que aborda um período de vida conturbado, mas recheado de possibilidades, que é a passagem pela adolescência. A discussão de temas como gêneros, sexualidades e cidadania é de fato imprescindível para uma sociedade que almeja a qualificação de “democrática”. Nesse sentido, o terceiro volume da série Pra Começo de Conversa vem trazer sua contribuição para o diálogo em torno dessas questões, com texto leve e atrativo, permeado por ilustrações, como é característico desta coleção. Conheçam "A Ilha de Max" e curtam a sua playlist!
Documents the emergence of a pattern of political instability in Latin America. Traditional military coups have receded in the region, but elected presidents are still ousted from power as a result of recurrent crises. Aníbal Pérez-Liñán shows that presidential impeachment has become the main constitutional instrument employed by civilian elites to depose unpopular rulers. Based on detailed comparative research in five countries and extensive historical information, the book explains why crises without breakdown have become the dominant form of instability in recent years and why some presidents are removed from office while others survive in power. The analysis emphasizes the erosion of presidential approval resulting from corruption and unpopular policies, the formation of hostile coalitions in Congress, and the role of investigative journalism. This book challenges classic assumptions in studies of presidentialism and provides important insights for the fields of political communication, democratization, political behaviour, and institutional analysis.
The study of scents and all things olfactory is thriving, a sign of our current interest in direct and immediate experiences of reality. This volume contributes to the discussion by focusing on the mediality of smells, the mechanisms by which scents circulate and are diffused, explored across different cultures and historical periods.
In this ground breaking work of synthesis, Monika Fludernik combines insights from literary theory and linguistics to provide a challenging new theory of narrative. This book is both an historical survey and theoretical study, with the author drawing on an enormous range of examples from the earliest oral study to contemporary experimental fiction. She uses these examples to prove that recent literature, far from heralding the final collapse of narrative, represents the epitome of a centuries long developmental process.

This book offers the term 'ecophobia' as a way of understanding and organizing representations of contempt for the natural world. Estok argues that this vocabulary is both necessary to the developing area of ecocritical studies and for our understandings of the representations of 'Nature' in Shakespeare.
