A morte, as estrelas e um violão
À noite, cai um raio. A Morte bate à porta. Com um sorriso por baixo do chapéu, ela anuncia: João, você já era. O jovem pede para viver e, antes que ele termine a frase, ela está dormindo no porão. Neste livro, a Morte é malandra e seu único objetivo é deitar-se em uma rede à céu aberto com seu velho violão. Esta é uma história sobre repensar o fim, para se valorizar todo o resto.
Buber e educação
Martin Buber (1878-1965) é considerado um dos maiores pensadores do século 20 e suas contribuições à filosofia, teologia e educação são testemunho disso. Seu pensamento se baseia na idéia de que as pessoas são capazes de dois tipos de relações, a saber, I-Thou e I-It, enfatizando a centralidade do diálogo em todas as esferas da vida humana. Por esta razão, Buber é considerado por muitos como o filósofo do diálogo por excelência. Após a morte de Buber, a apreciação de seu considerável legado às várias disciplinas em que havia trabalhado tornou-se bastante silenciosa, mas nunca foi completamente esquecida. Há agora um interesse renovado e crescente no pensamento de Buber, especialmente em sua filosofia de educação. Este livro reúne aspectos da filosofia e da prática educacional de Buber, e explica seu significado para o diálogo de paz e para a resolução de conflitos, tanto entre indivíduos quanto entre comunidades
O que há de novo na "nova direita"?
O que há de novo na "nova direita"? inscreve Marcos Quadros na tradição do bom ensaísmo político brasileiro. Marcos se põe a tarefa complicada de pensar sobre os sentidos "intrínsecos" das ideias de esquerda e direita. Muita gente boa já se aventurou por esses mares e não conseguiu voltar. Marcos encontra um caminho. Trata-se de uma leitura instigante, ainda que sujeita a um longo debate. Recusa enquadramentos fáceis quando define a nova direita. O fato é que estamos diante de um belíssimo e surpreendente ensaio. Ninguém descobriu, ainda, a chave para a compreensão do sentido e do impacto da nova direita sobre nosso mundo político. Marcos Quadros nos oferece, de mão beijada, um saboroso mapa do caminho intelectual a percorrer. Fernando Luís Schüler Doutor em Filosofia e Professor do Insper.

CSR encompasses broad questions about the changing relationship between business, society, and government. An authoritative review of the academic research that has both prompted, and responded to, these issues, the text provides clear thinking and perspectives on CSR and the debates around it.
Organic Fertilizers
This book, Organic Fertilizers - From Basic Concepts to Applied Outcomes, is intended to provide an overview of emerging researchable issues related to the use of organic fertilizers that highlight recent research activities in applied organic fertilizers toward a sustainable agriculture and environment. We aimed to compile information from a diversity of sources into a single volume to give some real examples extending the concepts in organic fertilizers that may stimulate new research ideas and trends in the relevant fields.
Personal Fabrication
While fabrication technologies have been in use in industry for several decades, expiring patents have recently allowed the technology to spill over to technology-enthusiastic "makers." Personal Fabrication looks at the massive, disruptive changes that are likely to be seen in interactive computing, as well as to computing as a whole. It discusses six main challenges that need to be addressed for this change to take place, and explains researchers in HCI will play a key role in tackling these challenges.
Violence and Desire in Brazilian Lesbian Relationships
In Violence and Desire in Brazilian Lesbian Relationships, Allen examines the lives of Brazilian women in same-sex relationships. This examination contributes to interdisciplinary discussions of female same-sex sexuality, violence, race, and citizenship. Using fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, primarily with Afro-Brazilian women in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Allen argues that Brazilian lesbian women reject Brazilian cultural norms that encourage male domination and female submission through their engagement in romantic relationships with each other. At the same time Allen claims lesbian women also reproduce Brazilian cultural ideals that associate passion, intensity, and power with physical dominance through their engagement in infidelity and intimate partner violence. The book demonstrates that lesbian women are nonetheless marginalized as Brazilian citizens through widespread social and political invisibility despite these apparent displays of masculinized power.
Banksy
About this Book / Bristol born Banksy is usually categorized as a Street Artist, although his art, in content and form, transcends a narrow understanding of this term.

The study highlights representative works of his art, pieces which demonstrate his versatility, but also stand for different periods of his oeuvre. This book presents the first academic study of Banksy's art in English; with a history and discussion of the terms Graffiti, Street Art and Urban...
Fusion Neutronics
This book provides a systematic and comprehensive introduction to fusion neutronics, covering all key topics from the fundamental theories and methodologies, as well as a wide range of fusion system designs and experiments. It is the first-ever book focusing on the subject of fusion neutronics research. Compared with other nuclear devices such as fission reactors and accelerators, fusion systems are normally characterized by their complex geometry and nuclear physics, which entail new challenges for neutronics such as complicated modeling, deep penetration, low simulation efficiency, multi-physics coupling, etc. The book focuses on the neutronic characteristics of fusion systems and introduc...
