Climate Change Adaptation in Latin America
This book showcases experiences from research, field projects and best practice in climate change adaptation in countries in the Latin American region, focusing on managing vulnerability and fostering resilience. It includes a selection of papers presented at a specialist symposium on climate change adaptation held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November 2016.Consistent with the need for more cross-sectoral interaction among the various stakeholders working in the field of climate change adaptation in Latin America, the book documents and disseminates the wealth of experiences in the region. It is divided into two main parts: Part 1 addresses the current and future impacts of climate change on fauna, flora and landscapes, while Part 2 is concerned with the socio-economic aspects of climate change adaptation, analyzing some of the main problems prevailing in this vulnerable region and examining ways to address them.

Análise econômica do contrato de seguro
"O tema que Marcelo propôs – um destacado aluno na matéria de Direito e Economia, antigo entusiasta da matéria – não poderia estar mais afinado com sua carreira, ou seja, aplicação de ferramentas de Análise Econômica do Direito (AED) ao campo do Direito Securitário. O contrato de Seguro é um negócio cuja natureza é essencialmente econômica, prestando-se como poucos ao estudo da AED. As regras dispostas no Código Civil, assim como a sua regulação, atendem bem aos fundamentos explicativos desse referencial teórico. O grande problema que o Direito tenta resolver aqui são as falhas de mercado, que ausentes de regulação, dificultam ou impediram o eficiente funcionamento desse mercado, a saber: fundamentalmente a assimetria informacional."

Contratos Normativos
Contratos normativos criam normas privadas que devem ser observadas pelos contratantes entre si ou com terceiros. O uso desta ferramenta tem se tornado comum seja como instrumento de autorregulação econômica (como no mercado publicitário ou em normas de compliance, por exemplo), seja como mecanismo para articular relações econômicas complexas. Apesar de sua origem ligar-se aos contratos coletivos do Direito do Trabalho, a adoção de contratos deste tipo vai muito além do uso mais comum no âmbito de relações trabalhistas, como demonstrado em experiências recentes na Europa, nos Estados Unidos e mesmo no Brasil. O livro propõe uma reflexão sobre a formação dos contratos no século XXI e o uso de contratos normativos para dirimir questões envolvendo temas como cláusulas compromissórias, contratos de shopping-center, franquias empresariais, normas de autorregulação, dentre outros.
Pharmacological Properties of Plant-Derived Natural Products and Implications for Human Health
Medicinal plants and their derived products remain as an indispensable source of bioactive molecules that serve as either drug candidates or lead compounds for drug design and discovery. There are several advantages for plant-derived therapeutics including wide availability, diverse pharmacological actions and a generally good profile of safety and tolerability. Over the recent years, there have been numerous reports from clinical studies testifying to the efficacy and safety of medicinal plants and phytochemicals in ameliorating several human diseases. A plethora of basic studies has also unravelled molecular mechanisms underlying the health benefits of herbal medicines. Nevertheless, issues such as identification of bioactive ingredients, standardization of the products and drug interactions remain to be further studied. In this book, we aim to put together several chapters on the medicinal properties and pharmacological action of medicinal plants, plant species and phytochemicals. The goal is to present a comprehensive collection on most of the therapeutic aspects of plant-derived natural products and molecular mechanisms thereof.

Religion and Democracy in the United States
The United States remains a deeply religious country and religion plays an inextricably critical role in American politics. Controversy over issues such as abortion is fueled by opposition in the Catholic Church and among conservative Protestants, candidates for the presidency are questioned about their religious beliefs, and the separation of church and state remains hotly contested. While the examination of religion's influence in politics has long been neglected, in the last decade the subject has finally garnered the attention it deserves. In Religion and Democracy in the United States, prominent scholars consider the ways Americans understand the relationship between their religious bel...
Brazilian Authoritarianism
"This book, written in the aftermath of the 2018 election of the right-wing populist politician Jair Bolsonaro, is a historically-grounded analysis of authoritarianism in Brazil. In the tradition of Zola's J'accuse, Lilia Schwarcz takes up and debunks the popular and cherished national myth of Brazil as a tolerant, open, peaceful, and racially-harmonious society. In that country's history textbooks even Brazil's centuries of slavery have been described as an ultimately benign, paternalistic order in which the races freely mixed and the cruelty of the U.S. slave experience was absent. This, Schwarcz argues, papers over centuries of racially-motivated violence, cruelty, and exploitation. These...
Reverse Design
The collaboration between the Textile Department of the University of Minho and the Brazilian Association of Studies and Research (ABEPEM) has led to an international platform for the exchange of research in the field of Fashion and Design: CIMODE. This platform is designed as a biennial congress that takes place in different European and Latin American countries with the co-organization of another university in each location. The current edition was jointly organized by the University of Minho and the Centro Superior de Diseño de Moda (CSDMM) - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. CIMODE's mission is to explore fashion and design from a social, cultural, psychological and communication pers...
Religion, Race, and the American Presidency
The role that race and religion play in American presidential elections is attracting national attention like never before. The 2008 presidential candidates reached out to an unprecedented number of racial and religious voting constituencies including African Americans, Latinos, Muslims, Mainline Protestants, Catholics, Evangelicals, Jews, women, the non-religious, and more. Religion, Race, and the American Presidency focuses on the roles of these racial and religious groups in presidential elections over the last forty years, and in elections since 2000 in particular. Drawing upon survey data, interviews, and case studies of recent presidents, the contributors examine the complicated relationships between American presidents and key racial and religious groups. The paperback edition features a new capstone chapter on the 2008 elections. Contributions by Brian Robert Calfano, David G. Dalin, Paul A. Djupe, Gastón Espinosa, John C. Green, Melissa V. Harris-Lacewell, Lyman A. Kellstedt, So Young Kim, David C. Leege, Laura R. Olson, Corwin Smidt, Katherine E. Stenger, and Adam L. Warber.
