Civil Society Responses to Changing Civic Spaces
This open access book contributes to thriving debates in academic as well as professional circles about the role of civil society in shrinking civic spaces, rising authoritarianism and right-wing populism, conflicts, fragile states, and most lately, the global COVID-19 pandemic. This is one of the first books to address the implications of changing civic spaces for civil society organizations worldwide. It offers a unique overview of how social movements and civil society groups in very different settings are responding to state-imposed restrictions of basic civic freedoms. The authors are all experts in the field, and their analyses are based on original and onsite research. This unique book also contributes to a better understanding of the conceptualizations and practices of civil society. It is of keen interest to academic scholars, students, civil society practitioners, and policy makers in the field of international development research and civil society action.
Beyond the Green Economy
The world needs a new economy. In spite of tremendous and growing material prosperity, inequality is on the rise and the current organization of the Earth’s natural resources has failed to address the basic human needs of billions of people. This book exposes the bottlenecks of the present path of economic growth and discusses the main path to alternatives. In spite of undeniable advances, all evidence points towards the growing depletion of the very ecosystems that societies depend on. By placing ethics squarely in the middle of economic life, this book demonstrates the need for a new economy, one that fosters unity between society, nature, economics and ethics. It questions the most important scientific and political pillar that forms the basis for evaluating social resource use: economic growth. Written in a non-specialist language, this book is an introduction to the main issues involving sustainable development. It will be essential reading for both students and professionals working in the field of socio-environmental responsibility.

Social Partnering in Latin America
An American supermarket and a Mexican food bank, an Argentine newspaper and a solidarity network, a Chilean pharmacy chain and an elder care home: the authors analyze why and how such social partnering occurs and provide a compelling framework for identifying key levers that maximize value creation for participants and society.
Psychology at the Turn of the Millennium, Volume 2
These two volumes represent the cutting edge of contemporary theory and research in psychological science. Based on the keynote and state-of-the-art lectures from the 27th International Congress of Psychology, the volumes feature a collection of chapters written by international leaders in psychological scholarship. The chapters reflect the diversity of current research topics in psychology, where old boundaries have become obsolete and subdivisions from the past merge to form new objects of study. Volume 1 addresses cognitive, biological, and health perspectives. It includes sections on the neural mechanisms underlying psychological processes; the core areas in experimental psychology, perc...

O Tupi Em São Paulo
Com a finalidade de reunir palavras cujos sons ouvimos na cidade, percorri livros, dicionários, conversei com nossos representantes da nação Guarani. O texto visa uma modesta contribuição no sentido de difundir respeito às culturas indígenas e perceber a influência que delas recebemos no dia a dia.
ORIGENS uma história genealógica
Como é dito na introdução, considere-se este livro uma aventura genealógica. Na sua elaboração foi-se tão longe quanto as fontes disponíveis o permitiram. Considere-se igualmente que o autor não é um académico, um historiador, um investigador, mas tão somente um observador atento que sem recorrer ao apoio de profissionais se atreveu a reunir dados, ordenar e dar-lhe forma. Se o conseguiu com êxito, os eventuais leitores o dirão. Aqui faz-se a reconstituição de sucessivas gerações de antepassados, percorrendo, nalguns casos, cerca de quinhentos anos. Fica a perceber-se a multiplicidade de origem geográfica das gentes de Santiago do Escoural, a génese das famílias formadas, em muitos casos por casamento entre parentes mais ou menos próximos. Não é à toa que existe a popular expressão na aldeia todos são primos e primas.
