Karla Kariny Knihs nos convida a refletir sobre o mundo do trabalho sob a perspectiva do direito na obra A relação de trabalho. A autora transita pela exposição histórica do direito do trabalho − da etimologia do termo trabalho até a apresentação da Organização Internacional do Trabalho e sua influência fundamental nesse âmbito; das especificidades dessa área (características, natureza jurídica, fontes); de seus princípios fundamentais, as diferentes relações de trabalho (autônomo, eventual, avulso, entre outros); das espécies menos usuais de relação de emprego (mãe social e índios, aprendizes, empregados doméstico e rurais); e, por fim, dos direitos fundamentais do trabalhador.
A área de execução penal não costuma despertar o interesse de advogados e profissionais do direito, seja porque não simpatizam com a temática, seja porque o atendimento ao cliente encerra-se na fase de instrução criminal.No entanto, essa área necessita de atenção e de profissionais qualificados que fomentem a discussão sobre a renovação do sistema, cobrando do Poder Público e dos órgãos responsáveis a implementação de mudanças que visem à ressocialização do indivíduo privado de liberdade, de modo que ele não volte a delinquir. Acompanhe-nos nestas páginas que tratam dos aspectos teóricos da Lei de Execução Penal e trazem uma reflexão sobre o sistema carcerário brasileiro.
A representação dos interesses de uma organização junto aos entes públicos é uma área profissional de extrema importância para o Brasil contemporâneo. Após intensas discussões sobre a lisura e a transparência nos atos de governo, as empresas buscam contratar representantes capazes de realizar uma articulação respeitando as normas legais e os valores éticos da companhia. Buscando superar o termo lobby, geralmente ligado à corrupção e ao tráfico de influência, esta obra apresenta os fundamentos da área de relações governamentais. Entenda como a atividade se profissionalizou no Brasil, a legislação sobre o tema, as possibilidades e os limites na negociação junto ao poder público.
When Louisa Deasey receives a message from a French woman called Coralie, who has found a cachet of letters in an attic, written by Louisa's father, neither woman can imagine the events it will set in motion. The letters, dated 1949, detail a passionate affair between Louisa's father, Denison, and Coralie's grandmother, Michelle, in post-war London. They spark Louisa to find out more about her father, who died when she was six. From the seemingly simple question 'Who was Denison Deasey?' follows a trail of discovery that leads Louisa to the libraries of Melbourne and the streets of London, to the cafes and restaurants of Paris and a poet's villa in the south of France. From her father's secret service in World War II to his relationships with some of the most famous bohemian artists in post-war Europe, Louisa unearths a portrait of a fascinating man, both at the epicenter and the mercy of the social and political currents of his time. A Letter from Paris is about the stories we tell ourselves, and the secrets the past can uncover. A compelling tale of inheritance and creativity, loss and reunion, it shows the power of the written word to cross the bridges of time.
Meet Vince Fong... I’ve got a pretty great life, if I do say so myself. I made a fortune when I sold my tech start-up, and I’ve spent the years since partying, drinking, and inviting a parade of women into my bed. I should be happy, but I feel an annoying lack of fulfillment, and there’s no way I’m going back to the work I did before. At a friend’s party, I meet Marissa. We have hot sex against the door and agree to spend the weekend together. Just one weekend. I never expect to see her again. Except now she’s pregnant with my baby…and I think this is the solution to all my problems. This is what will bring meaning to my life. I’m going to be a devoted father and husband. Mar...
Beards and Texts explores the literary portrayal of beards in medieval German texts from the mid-twelfth to the early sixteenth centuries. It argues that as the pre-eminent symbol for masculinity the beard played a distinctive role throughout the Middle Ages in literary discussions of such major themes as majesty and humanity. At the same time beards served as an important point of reference in didactic poetry concerned with wisdom, teaching and learning, and in comedic texts that were designed to make their audiences laugh, not least by submitting various figure-types to the indignity of having their beards manhandled. Four main chapters each offer a reading of a work or poetic tradition of...
Chemistry is my love language.I've always been able to separate feelings from chemosignals. A shot of dopamine, a dash of serotonin, and a sprinkle of oxytocin-and bam. You're in love.And when egg meets sperm, you're pregnant.I couldn't even be surprised as I stared down at the little blue plus sign, because I knew exactly when and how, and with whom it happened.When: approximately five weeks ago.Who: one night stand.How: prophylactic malfunction.The upside? I don't have to go looking for a suitable mate.Genetically, he's the cream of the crop. His musculature is a study in symmetry and strength, his height imposing and impressive. He is a man who thrives on control and command, a man who survives on intelligence and resourcefulness. A perfect male specimen.And the whole package is wrapped up in a flawlessly tailored suit.I'm having this baby, and he insists we're well-suited to have it together. And what's worse? He wants more, in the way of love and marriage.But love isn't real. It's just a product of chemistry.And if he changes my mind about that, we're both in trouble.
