Vida nas Ruas
O quanto a sociedade contemporânea mudou a forma de pensar e reagir à expressão mais radical da questão social nos últimos sete séculos? Será que ainda possuímos a mesma mentalidade que a sociedade medieval tinha em relação a essa questão? A essas e outras indagações pretende responder este primeiro livro de Julianna Laffront, mestre em Serviço Social e Políticas Sociais pela Universidade Federal de São Paulo, pesquisadora dessa área e servidora pública da cidade de Santos há mais de 10 anos. Esta obra traz luz para o entendimento da vida na rua enquanto debate político, em perene disputa quanto aos anseios, angustias e clamores da sociedade e suas expectativas de interve...
The Nebi Yearbook 1998
Thorvald Stoltenberg Ambassador Chairman of the Editorial Advisory Board Most of us have been overwhelmed by the speed and extent of the changes that have been taking place in Europe since the late 1980s. Over the span of a few years, we have witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the unification of Ger many. This process has had far-reaching implications for Northern Europe: the Baltic states have attained independence, and with the establishment of the Baltic Sea regional co-operation and the Barents co-operation, a new type of East-West relations has come into being. The process of change continues. Its latest manifestation is the agreement between Russia and NATO, and NATO and EU...

Democracy for Realists
Why our belief in government by the people is unrealistic—and what we can do about it Democracy for Realists assails the romantic folk-theory at the heart of contemporary thinking about democratic politics and government, and offers a provocative alternative view grounded in the actual human nature of democratic citizens. Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels deploy a wealth of social-scientific evidence, including ingenious original analyses of topics ranging from abortion politics and budget deficits to the Great Depression and shark attacks, to show that the familiar ideal of thoughtful citizens steering the ship of state from the voting booth is fundamentally misguided. They demonstrate ...

Redefining Adaptation Studies
Since films were first produced, adapted works have predominantly borrowed primarily from traditional texts, such as novels and plays. Likewise, the study of film adaptations has also been fairly traditional, rarely venturing beyond a comparison of the source material to its often less revered counterpart. Redefining Adaptation Studies breaks new ground in showing the range of possibilities that transcend the literature/film paradigm. These essays focus on the idea of 'adaptation' and what it means in different socio-political contexts. Above all, this collection shows how cultural and political factors determine the meaning of the term and its potential for developing new approaches to lear...
