Francisco Julião
A PRIMEIRA BIOGRAFIA UM DOS NOMES MAIS IMPORTANTES NA HISTÓRIA DOS MOVIMENTOS POLÍTICOS BRASILEIROS Considerado por seus adversários como simples agitador social, incendiário, revolucionário, e por seus aliados de esquerda um visionário, Julião foi responsável por importantes conquistas sociais para o campesinato brasileiro. Nos primeiros anos da década de 1960, ele organizou a maior greve camponesa no Brasil, com fortes reflexos no Nordeste, ocasião em que forçou o governo a reconhecer, pela primeira vez, o piso salarial para o trabalhador rural da zona canavieira pernambucana e, a seguir, assegurar à mesma categoria o direito à sindicalização. Esta biografia traz, finalmente, para o público brasileiro a oportunidade de conhecer quem foi este líder caristmático e intelectual, que interferiu significativamente nos rumos político e social do Brasil no século XX.
The Tender Cut
"Cutting, burning, branding, and bone-breaking are all types of self-injury, of the deliberate, non-suicidal destruction of one's own body tissue, a practice that emerged from obscurity in the 1990s and spread dramatically as a typical behavior among adolescents. Long considered a suicidal gesture, The Tender Cut argues instead that self-injury is often a coping mechanism, a form of teenage angst, and expression of group membership, and a type of rebellion, converting unbearable emotional pain into manageable physical pain. An important portrait of a troubling behavior, The Tender Cut illuminates the meaning of self-injury in the 21st century, its effects on current and former users, and its future as a practice for self-discovery or a cry for help."--P. [4] of cover.
Environmental Impacts of a North American Free Trade Agreement
A reduction in trade barriers generally will affect the environment by expanding the scale of economic activity, by altering the composition of economic activity, and by bringing about a change in the techniques of production. We present empirical evidence to assess the relative magnitudes of these three effects as they apply to further trade liberalization in Mexico. In Section 1. we use comparable measures of three air pollutants in a cross-section of urban areas located in 42 countries to study the relationship between air quality and economic growth. We find for two pollutants (sulfur dioxide and "smoke") that concentrations increase with per capita GDP at low levels of national income, but decrease with GD? growth at higher levels of income. Section 2 studies the determinants of the industry pattern of U.S. imports from Mexico and of value added by Mexico's maquiladora sector. We investigate whether the size of pollution abatement costs in the U.S. industry influences the pattern of international trade and investment. Finally, in Section 3, we use the results from a computable general equilibrium model to study the likely compositional effect of a NAFTA on pollution in Mexico
Quantal Density Functional Theory
Density functional theory is an important and widely used tool in many-body physics that has found applications in atomic, molecular, solid-state and nuclear physics. It is used principally to determine the electronic structure of these complex systems. Sahni has developed a new approach, termed quantal density functional theory, which simplifies the process of solving the computational problem and at the same time, gives insight into the underlying quantum mechanics. Further, the book describes Schrödinger theory from the new perspective of fields and quantal sources. It also explains the physics underlying the functionals and functional derivatives of traditional DFT
