Sem sombras de dúvidas, a infraestrutura, promovida pelo Estado e pela iniciativa privada, tem o potencial de tornar mais rentáveis os investimentos produtivos, alavancar a economia, melhorar as condições de vida das pessoas, do transporte, da comunicação, do fornecimento de energia, além de assegurar direitos fundamentais. Por isso, faz-se necessário um espaço constante de diálogo e de problematização que enfrente assuntos que afetam, direta e indiretamente, a infraestrutura e, de conseguinte, proporcionem segurança jurídica. É com essa intenção que selecionamos autores e profissionais de diferentes setores da iniciativa pública e privada para a confecção desta obra e que convidamos o leitor a refletir sobre assuntos transversais do Direito, da Infraestrutura e da Regulação. Boa leitura.
Written by the two most recognized Appreciative Inquiry thought leaders A quick, accessible introduction to one of the most popular change methods today--proven effective in organizations ranging from Roadway Express and British Airways to the United Nations and the United States Navy Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a model of change management uniquely suited to the values, beliefs, and challenges of organizations today. AI is a process that emphasizes identifying and building on strengths, rather than focusing exclusively on fixing weaknesses as most other change processes do. As the stories in this book illustrate, it results in dramatic improvements in the triple bottom line: people, profit...
Tree based production systems abound especially in the tropics. Despite the pervasiveness of such multipurpose “trees-outside-forest” resources, they have not attracted adequate attention in the development paradigms of many nation states. These multispecies production systems impact the ecosystem processes favourably. Yet, our understanding of the diversity attributes and carbon dynamics under agroforestry is not adequate. This book focuses on the role of multispecies production systems involving tree and crop species as a means for carbon sequestration and thereby reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Sixteen chapters organized into three broad sections titled: Measurement and Estimation, Agrobiodiversity and Tree Management, and Policy and Socioeconomic Aspects represent a cross section of the opportunities and challenges in current research and emerging issues in harnessing carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry systems.
O expressionismo foi um dos movimentos mais significativos e de maiores consequências na revolução estética efetuada pela arte no século XX, não só na pintura, como na poesia, no teatro, no cinema, na música, na dança, com repercussão na moda e até nos meios de comunicação. Ao lado do cubismo, deu impulso ao processo libertador da mão e da imaginação do artista moderno, e absorveu os impactos das ideias filosóficas e científicas, das propostas psicológicas, estéticas e técnicas da atualidade, bem como de suas práxis político-ideológicas. Deste leque de modalidades criativas e de seus comprometimentos com a história do espírito, para não invocar o hegeliano espírito da história, falarão os colaboradores do presente volume da coleção Stylus, 'O Expressionismo', que a Editora Perspectiva acaba de editar, e que proporcionará aos interessados na discussão do tema, a possibilidade de realizar uma visão integrativa do fenômeno, com a propriedade e a riqueza dos subsídios oferecidos pelos seus autores.
Narrative Therapy provides an introduction to the theory, history, research, and practice of this post-structural approach. First developed by David Epston and Michael White, this therapeutic theory is founded on the idea that people have many interacting narratives that go into making up their sense of who they are, and that the issues they bring to therapy are not restricted to (or located) within the clients themselves, but rather are influenced and shaped by cultural discourses about identity and power. Narrative therapy centers around a rich engagement in re-storying a client's narrative by re-considering, re-appreciating, and re-authoring the client's preferred lives and relationships....

Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of Appreciative Inquiry offers OD and HR professionals a user-friendly resource for discovering how they can tap into the power of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) process. An innovative process, AI is an effective way to work with a company as an organic system whose success depends on a holistic approach to connect that organization's human, technical, and organizational functions. This new edition meets the challenge of making the AI process accessible and updates three key areas of the process: the theoretical basis, fundamental assumptions and beliefs, and the basic processes. It includes step-by-step guidelines on how to apply AI in a var...
How to understand propaganda art in the post-truth era—and how to create a new kind of emancipatory propaganda art. Propaganda art—whether a depiction of joyous workers in the style of socialist realism or a film directed by Steve Bannon—delivers a message. But, as Jonas Staal argues in this illuminating and timely book, propaganda does not merely make a political point; it aims to construct reality itself. Political regimes have shaped our world according to their interests and ideology; today, popular mass movements push back by constructing other worlds with their own propagandas. In Propaganda Art in the 21st Century, Staal offers an essential guide for understanding propaganda art...

Bioprocess engineering has played a key role in biotechnology, contributing towards bringing the exciting new discoveries of molecular and cellular biology into the applied sphere, and in maintaining established processes, some centuries-old, efficient and essential for today's industry. Novel developments and new application areas of biotechnology, along with increasing constraints in costs, product quality, regulatory and environmental considerations, have placed the biochemical engineer at the forefront of new challenges. This second volume of Advances in Bioprocess Engineering reflects precisely the multidisciplinary nature of the field, where new and traditional areas of application are nurtured by a better understanding of fundamental phenomena and by the utilization of novel techniques and methodologies. The chapters in this book were written by the invited speakers to the 2nd International Symposium on Bioprocess Engineering, Mazatlan, Mexico, September 1997.
