"O presente livro, em sua segunda edição, inclui algumas das mulheres que têm escrito, nas suas áreas de atuação, uma "nova" história que denuncia e reivindica por igualdade de gênero, atenção às vulnerabilidades e um olhar diferenciado sobre o cuidado, na tentativa de alinhar o Direito Civil aos direitos humanos e fundamentais. São elas, juristas brasileiras comprometidas com a tarefa de analisar criticamente o Direito, em especial, o Direito das Famílias. Tornaram-se audíveis nas Universidades, por meio de suas atividades de ensino e pesquisa, no Ministério Público, no Judiciário, na advocacia pública e privada. Seu desempenho tem deixado marcas indeléveis, tanto pela se...
A ideia desta coleção nasceu da necessidade de consolidar, ao menos numa primeira assentada, análise de juristas interessados na temática dos regimes de bens entre cônjuges e companheiros. Em face da abrangência do tema foi necessário fechar o foco. Daí porque, aqui, o enfrentamento tomou em consideração as decisões vindas exclusivamente do Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Esta foi a forma que imaginamos para tentar aliar o entendimento da literatura sobre os regimes patrimoniais à orientação do Tribunal encarregado de dar a última palavra do Judiciário sobre o tema, com alguma ideia de atender as peculiaridades vindas com a dinamicidade dos novos tempos. Neste volume, os regim...
Inédito e inovador, esse livro é uma obra indispensável para se manter atualizado sobre os impactos e benefícios das novas tecnologias no Direito das Famílias e Sucessões.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.

Improving access to justice has been an ongoing process, and on-demand justice should be a natural part of our increasingly on-demand society. What can we do for example when Facebook blocks our account, we're harassed on Twitter, discover that our credit report contains errors, or receive a negative review on Airbnb? How do we effectively resolve these and other such issues? Digital Justice introduces the reader to new technological tools to resolve and prevent disputes bringing dispute resolution to cyberspace, where those who would never look to a court for assistance can find help for instance via a smartphone. The authors focus particular attention on five areas that have seen great innovation as well as large volumes of disputes: ecommerce, healthcare, social media, labor, and the courts. As conflicts escalate with the increase in innovation, the authors emphasize the need for new dispute resolution processes and new ways to avoid disputes, something that has been ignored by those seeking to improve access to justice in the past.
