Abordagem multiprofissional em saúde coletiva - 2a Edição
A Abordagem Multiprofissional em Saúde Coletiva – 2a Edição transcende a simples união de saberes, propondo uma mudança paradigmática na maneira como concebemos a saúde coletiva. Sua relevância está em evidenciar que os desafios da saúde pública não podem ser resolvidos por ações isoladas ou práticas segmentadas, mas, sim, por uma integração profunda entre diferentes disciplinas, onde o conhecimento não apenas se complementa, mas se transforma pela interação. A obra nos convida a refletir sobre o cuidado como um processo que vai além da biologia, abraçando aspectos sociais, culturais e emocionais que, muitas vezes, são negligenciados na prática clínica. Ao propor uma atuação coletiva, a obra sugere que a saúde é um bem comum que precisa ser construído em conjunto, reforçando que o caminho para a equidade e a melhoria na qualidade de vida está na articulação entre ciência, prática e comunidade. Mais do que um guia técnico, esta obra é um convite à reflexão sobre a necessidade de romper barreiras entre saberes e práticas, promovendo uma saúde que seja, verdadeiramente, para todos.
The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Latin America
The essays included in this volume provide both an assessment of key areas and current trends in sociology, specifically with regard to contemporary sociology in Latin America, as well as a collection of innovative empirical studies.

Brazilian Estuaries
This book presents the main drivers of benthic structure and processes in estuaries from the 8,000 km-Brazilian coast, assesses the influence of natural and human disturbance, and discusses their ecological importance and management needs. Estuaries are unique coastal ecosystems often with low biodiversity that sustain and provide essential ecological services to mankind. These ecosystems include a variety of habitats with their own sediment and fauna dynamics, all of them globally altered or threatened by human activities. Mangroves, saltmarshes, tidal flats and other confined estuarine systems are under increasing stress by overfishing and other human activities leading to habitat and species loss. Combined changes in estuarine hydromorphology and in climate pose severe threats to estuarine ecosystems at a global scale.
Bruno
In the 1980s a poor farmer's son from Recife, Brazil, joined the Brazilian navy and began selling cocaine. After his arrest in Rio de Janeiro he spent the next eight years in prison, where he joined the Comando Vermelho criminal faction and eventually became one of its leaders. Robert Gay tells this young man's dramatic and captivating story in Bruno. In his shockingly candid interviews with Gay, Bruno provides many insights into the criminal world in which he lived: details of day-to-day prison life; the inner workings of the Brazilian drug trade; the structure of criminal factions; and the complexities of the relationships and links between the prisons, drug trade, gangs, police, and favelas. And most stunningly, Bruno's story suggests that Brazilian mismanagement of the prison system directly led to the Comando Vermelho and other criminal factions' expansion into Rio's favelas, where their turf wars and battles with police have terrorized the city for over two decades.
Peasant Rebellion in a Slave Society
Peasant Rebellion in a Slave Society identifies the immediate and remote reasons for the Balaiada revolt in Maranhão, Brazil, analyzing the special characteristics of the region that favored the development of a relatively independent peasantry within and around the cotton, rice, cassava, and cattle estates. The book explores the demography of Maranhão and patterns of land ownership and documents the rapid degradation of the environment by plantation‐based export agriculture. The analysis of various types of coerced and free labor, the oligopolistic structure of the colonial economy, and the key determinants of class and status contextualizes the conflict potential in Maranhão during th...

Drugs and Democracy in Rio de Janeiro
Taking an ethnographic approach to understanding urban violence, Enrique Desmond Arias examines the ongoing problems of crime and police corruption that have led to widespread misery and human rights violations in many of Latin America's new democracies. Employing participant observation and interview research in three favelas (shantytowns) in Rio de Janeiro over a nine-year period, Arias closely considers the social interactions and criminal networks that are at the heart of the challenges to democratic governance in urban Brazil. Much of the violence is the result of highly organized, politically connected drug dealers feeding off of the global cocaine market. Rising crime prompts repressi...
