O livro "O Assassinato da Mulher Transexual e Travesti - Reflexões acerca da aplicação da Lei do Feminicídio", de Jeanne Carla Rodrigues Ambar, aborda um tema jurídico crucial e pouco explorado. A obra analisa a aplicabilidade da Lei do Feminicídio às mulheres trans e travestis, grupos historicamente marginalizados e vítimas de violência. A autora questiona o Sistema Jurídico brasileiro e a interpretação da Constituição Federal, propondo uma solução inovadora para um dilema frequente nos tribunais brasileiros. Além de sua relevância jurídica, o livro também contribui para o debate social sobre igualdade de direitos, combate a preconceitos e injustiças, sendo uma leitura valiosa para um público amplo, incluindo profissionais e estudantes de Direito, e todos interessados em direitos humanos e justiça social. Recomendo para todos e todas que buscam compreender e promover a igualdade e a justiça em uma sociedade diversa.

This scholarly work creates a new epoch in traditional occult philosophy. It is the first contemporary encyclopedic exposition of the great Western Tradition since the basic books by Eliphas Lvi and Papus, and it also has full practical utility. The Philosophical Tarot has always been recognized as a universal key to all wisdom attainable by human beings. This text will be of particular interest, because of its kindred approach, to the many readers of the extraordinary contemporary masterpiece Meditations on the Tarot, by an anonymous writer much valued in esoteric circles throughout the world. The present work is by no means just a theoretical treatise accessible only to specialists, for anyone can understand the initiatory concepts of Mouni Sadhu's Tarot, perceiving completely new horizons of thought, activity, psychology, cosmology, and practical esotericism. In this text a great number of questions which occur to the earnest seeker are answered in a new and fascinating way, and the solution of the philosophical equations arising from the Arcana opens new vistas in every field of life. The book is suitably subdivided into 100 separate lessons, allowing for systematic study.

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.
