"Sendo o acesso do ser humano à realidade – seja ela ideal, natural ou cultural – precário, e, nessa condição, falível, o que fazer? Não acreditar em nada, pois não há certeza de que nossas crenças sobre o mundo são corretas? Ou, ao contrário, acreditar em qualquer coisa? Que postura seria mais adequado adotar, diante da ineliminável possibilidade de se estar errado? Coincidentemente, a pandemia, e tantos debates públicos, e polêmicas, em torno de assuntos como a eficácia de vacinas, as verdadeiras causas da doença ou a eficiência de certos tratamentos, tornaram alguns temas ainda mais atuais, e de mais claras repercussões práticas. Falar sobre ciência, usando sua fal...
Nos dias de hoje, fica mais evidente a relevância da Sociologia do Direito e do Estado para a formação dos juristas, mormente nos estudos de pós-graduação stricto sensu, onde se espera uma maior percepção para além do tecnicismo ou da dogmática e, ainda, a expansão da produção e da pesquisa em Direito acerca de temas impactantes na sociedade e, consequentemente, na prática do Direito.

Una novela de sueños y descubrimiento donde el misticismo y la sabiduría indígena chocan con el poder y la autoridad de la Iglesia y la Inquisición. Uriel, un aspirante a escritor, está misteriosamente atrapado en el cuerpo de Diego, un novicio franciscano del siglo diecisiete.

Allí Uriel/Diego se encuentra y conv...
During the last 20 years the world has experienced a sharp rise in the number of international courts and tribunals, and a correlative expansion of their jurisdictions. This book draws on social sciences to provide a clear, goal-orientated assessment of their effectiveness, and a critical evaluation of the quality of their performance.
This WEMS Book brings together a selection of papers presented at the International Congress Aqua 2003 held in the historic city of Cartagena, Colombia, in October 2003. A total of 32 papers were selected out of the 87 presentations made at the Congress. They have been grouped in three different categories covering multiple uses of water, natural wastewater treatment, and knowledge transfer in the water sector. The editors wish to acknowledge the time-consuming work of the Scientific Committee refereeing submissions both before and after the event, which resulted in the selection of papers in this volume. The editors are most grateful to the authors of the papers in the volume which contributed to the success of Aqua 2003. The biennial Aqua congresses are becoming one of the most important technical and scientific events related to water management in Latin America. This book is out of print and is unavailable to purchase at this time.
Rose is disappointed with her life, though she has no reason to be - she has a beautiful family and a perfectly nice house in the suburbs. But to Rose, this ordinary life feels overshadowed by her other life - the one she leads every night in her dreams. After a childhood accident, Rose's dreams take her to a wondrous island fraught with adventure. On this island, she has never been alone: she shares it with Hugo, a brave boy who's grown up with her into a hero of a man. But when Rose stumbles across Hugo in real life, both her real and dream worlds are changed forever. Here is the man who has shared all of her incredible adventures in impossible places, who grew up with her, even if they aren't what either one imagined. Their chance encounter begins a cascade of questions, lies, and a dangerous obsession that threatens to topple everything she knows. Is she willing to let go of everything she holds dear to understand their extraordinary connection? And will it lead her to discover who she truly wants to be?
