Este livro é fruto de um movimento coletivo, a partir das inquietações de pessoas inseridas na Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu (Mestrados e Doutorados) e dispostas a refletir sobre os desafios que perpassam o ambiente acadêmico e as estratégias mobilizadas para enfrentá-los. A Pós-Graduação é um ambiente recheado de prestígios, realizações, alegrias e encontros. No entanto, há também medos, frustrações, desistências, doenças físicas e psíquicas - assuntos pouco evidenciados. Quem está disposto a falar sobre dores e temas polêmicos? Em alguns momentos as discussões parecem pouco propositivas no sentido de que sejam debatidas formas de lidar com os desafios enfrentados. ...

This book brings together some of the finest academics in the field to address important questions around the way in which people experience their physical environments, including temperature, light, air-quality, acoustics and so forth. It is of importance not only to the comfort people feel indoors, but also the success of any building as an environment for its stated purpose. The way in which comfort is produced and perceived has a profound effect on the energy use of a building and its resilience to the increasing dangers posed by extreme weather events, and power outages caused by climate change. Research on thermal comfort is particularly important not only for the health and well-being...

In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...

"A união de noventa autores para a elaboração de uma coleção é um fato que a engrandece sobremaneira. Mas reunir noventa autores para escrever uma coleção sobre o tema das pessoas com deficiência e os inúmeros desafios para que tenhamos uma sociedade efetivamente inclusiva, é notável! Trata-se de obra de construção coletiva que vem regada pelos eflúvios de amorosidade dos autores em prol da causa das pessoas com deficiência, aliada ao forte propósito de todos no sentido de indicar e encontrar caminhos e instrumentos para cumprir o nosso dever primordial de amor ao próximo. Ser "diferente" desafia o afeto e a empatia que desenvolvemos facilmente diante do que reconhecemos no...
Violência doméstica e a Teoria da Ação Comunicativa: uma via possível para Brasil e Portugal tem um viés não convencional de abordagem da violência doméstica em ambos os países.

Analisam-se dados recentes sobre essa violência nos países e apresentam-se propostas de soluções dialogicamente construídas. A abordagem histórico-constitucional usada é uma diferenciadora se comparada às demais pesquisas existentes no mercado editorial ou acadêmico. Outro ponto d...
