Global Practices of Corporate Social Responsibility
Being socially responsible on the part of corporate entities is now no longer an option, it is part of their normal business obligations to all their stakeholders regardless of whether these are primary or secondary stakeholders. Modern societies around the world now expect corporate entities of all shapes and forms to be socially responsible in whatever they do; the “Global Practices of Corporate Social Responsibility” is a first attempt at bringing together in one book experts' accounts of how corporate entities in twenty independent nations around the world are dealing with the issue of CSR. The world today faces diverse social problems. These become apparent as one moves from one country to the next, interestingly, society now expects corporations to help in finding solutions to these problems. The problem of global warming affects us all; modern corporations can no longer continue to assume that the problem will go away, if nothing is done by them.

O Brasil possui em seu território a maior floresta tropical do planeta. Com características de elevada importância estratégica para o país, a Amazônia tem sido vítima de um acelerado processo de desmatamento predatório. No momento sombrio que o Brasil vive, para encontrar novos caminhos, será necessário lembrar o que passou e elaborar a experiência à luz da sabedoria das ciências e das consciências que se cruzam e se atravessam no terreno do fazer humano. É o que faz João Paulo Capobianco em sua obra "Amazônia, uma década de esperança". Com um texto simples, direto e consistentemente informativo, a obra incorpora as análises conduzidas na preparação da tese de doutorado de Capobianco. Não há "informações de bastidores" nem inconfidências, mas provas documentais, depoimentos e fatos públicos sobejamente registrados que embasam suas conclusões. O autor organiza as informações de modo que possa esclarecer dúvidas e desfazer dubiedades. A obra ainda contém prefácio com um ar de "testemunho" da ex-ministra do Meio Ambiente, Marina Silva.
