Direito das Infraestruturas: Um Estudo dos Distintos Mercados Regulados
O Direito das Infraestruturas, como novo Direito, engloba o estudo do conjunto de elementos ou serviços que se consideram necessários para a criação e funcionamento de uma determinada atividade econômica. É uma nova área que tem sua essência no aprofundamento do processo de desestatização e regulação de diferentes mercados; na análise do desmembramento de atividades complementares ou ligadas a uma mesma cadeia produtiva, bem como no estabelecimento de concorrência em diferentes fases das atividades; na definição de uma mesma atividade de distintas naturezas jurídicas (serviço público e atividade econômica em sentido estrito); na busca de novos mecanismos de gestão e financiamento para evitar que as infraestruturas dos distintos setores entrem em colapso; entre outros. Desse modo, apresentam-se estudos de reconhecidos estudiosos dispostos em sete divisões temáticas: I Pressupostos básicos do estado regulador e Políticas Públicas Aplicadas; II As Infraestruturas Públicas; III Regulação d as Energias; IV Regulação das Comunicações; V Regulação das Águas; VI Regulação dos Transportes; e VII Defesa da concorrência no Direito das Infraestruturas.

Divination on stage
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.
Anarchism in Latin America
The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism. Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University.

The Peru Reader
Sixteenth-century Spanish soldiers described Peru as a land filled with gold and silver, a place of untold wealth. Nineteenth-century travelers wrote of soaring Andean peaks plunging into luxuriant Amazonian canyons of orchids, pythons, and jaguars. The early-twentieth-century American adventurer Hiram Bingham told of the raging rivers and the wild jungles he traversed on his way to rediscovering the “Lost City of the Incas,” Machu Picchu. Seventy years later, news crews from ABC and CBS traveled to Peru to report on merciless terrorists, starving peasants, and Colombian drug runners in the “white gold” rush of the coca trade. As often as not, Peru has been portrayed in broad extreme...
Lincoln President-Elect
One of our most eminent Lincoln scholars, winner of a Lincoln Prize for his Lincoln at Cooper Union, examines the four months between Lincoln's election and inauguration, when the president-elect made the most important decision of his coming presidency—there would be no compromise on slavery or secession of the slaveholding states, even at the cost of civil war. Abraham Lincoln first demonstrated his determination and leadership in the Great Secession Winter—the four months between his election in November 1860 and his inauguration in March 1861—when he rejected compromises urged on him by Republicans and Democrats, Northerners and Southerners, that might have preserved the Union a li...
