O campo científico dos estudos de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas tem evoluído de modo significativo nos últimos dois séculos em função das transformações estruturais nos contextos, tanto, econômico do sistema capitalista, quanto, político do sistema internacional, os quais repercutiram em crescente complexificação da realidade social, organizacional e familiar. Diante da crescente fluidez e complexidade da realidade, novas agendas temáticas reflexivas aos avanços empíricos e às transformações humanas emergem, introjetando dinamismo para a valorização dos estudos de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, com consequente demanda para não apenas explicar os fenômenos, mas também apres...

Em seu novo livro, Lázaro Ramos escreve pela primeira vez para os jovens. Os irmãos Carlos e Vitória, mesmo vivendo num mundo repleto de maneiras de se comunicar, muitas vezes se sentem sozinhos, confusos e até mesmo invisíveis — mas os desafios encontrados, representarão importantes passos no fortalecimento de suas identidades. Esta é a história de uma família em quarentena. Carlos e Vitória são irmãos e moram com o pai, mas só o encontram no fim do dia. Muito diferentes um do outro, se expressam cada um a seu modo. Porém, possuem uma mesma motivação: entender seu lugar no mundo. Carlos vive trancado no quarto, gravando vídeos e áudios sobre si mesmo ou postando nas rede...
The Bride of Amman, a huge and controversial bestseller when first published in Arabic, takes a sharp-eyed look at the intersecting lives of four women and one gay man in Jordan's historic capital, Amman-a city deeply imbued with its nation's traditions and taboos. When Rana finds herself not only falling for a man of the wrong faith, but also getting into trouble with him, where can they go to escape? Can Hayat's secret liaisons really suppress the memories of her abusive father? When Ali is pressured by society's homophobia into a fake heterosexual marriage, how long can he maintain the illusion? And when spinsterhood and divorce spell social catastrophe, is living a lie truly the best option for Leila? What must she do to avoid reaching her 'expiry date' at the age thirty like her sister Salma, Jordan's secret blogger and a self-confessed spinster with a plot up her sleeve to defy her city's prejudices? These five young lives come together and come apart in ways that are distinctly modern yet as unique and timeless as Amman itself.

"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Accelerated population ageing, long a significant issue for developed countries, is now becoming important in the developing world too. Population ageing is one of the great achievements of the past century - although it brings its own social, economic, political and cultural challenges. The quality of life of older people is strongly conditioned by their capacity to manage opportunities and risks. Social protection, both formal and informal, can be critical. This book examines the links between well-being and development, drawing on examples from low, middle and high-income countries. It examines ageing in a number of very different development contexts - Argentina, Brazil, China, Ghana, Japan, Mexico, Thailand, Ukraine, UK and USA. It highlights the complexity of relationships between development and the way later life is experienced, identifies key priorities for policy-makers, and maps out an urgent research agenda.
