Mariana, a psychiatrist and TV pundit, flees Madrid for a friend's empty house in a coastal resort, where she obsesses over Raimundo, a suicidal, mani...
A mediação como instrumento de governança nas empresas familiares
O objetivo central desta obra, tendo em vista as dificuldades inerentes às organizações familiares, consiste na proposição de um modelo de implementação de governança na empresa familiar, visando com que mais organizações reduzam efetivamente seus conflitos e possam se liberar de um dos principais obstáculos à perpetuação dessa espécie empresarial. A pesquisa aprofundada das empresas familiares permitiu reconhecer a importância de tais organizações na esfera da economia mundial, assim como deflagrou o fato de que a difícil segregação do contexto entre família e empresa causa inúmeros conflitos, tendo como consequência mais comum o desfazimento da organização.

I-Docs
The history of documentary has been one of adaptation and change, as docu-mentarists have harnessed the affordances of emerging technology.

Their various incarnations are now a focus at leading film festivals (IDFA DocLab, Tribeca Storyscapes, Sheffield DocFest), major international awards have been won, and they are increasingly the subject of academic study. This anthology looks at the creative practices, purposes and ethics that lie behind these emergent forms. Expert contributions, case studies and interviews with major figures in the field address the...

The Power of a Single Number
Widely used since the mid-twentieth century, GDP (gross domestic product) has become the world's most powerful statistical indicator of national development and progress. Practically all governments adhere to the idea that GDP growth is a primary economic target, and while criticism of this measure has grown, neither its champions nor its detractors deny its central importance in our political culture. In The Power of a Single Number, Philipp Lepenies recounts the lively history of GDP's political acceptance—and eventual dominance. Locating the origins of GDP measurements in Renaissance England, Lepenies explores the social and political factors that originally hindered its use. It was not...

The Zebrafish
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a valuable and common model for researchers working in the fields of genetics, oncology and developmental sciences. This full-color atlas will aid experimental design and interpretation in these areas by providing a fundamental understanding of zebrafish anatomy. Over 150 photomicrographs are included and can be used for direct comparison with histological slides, allowing quick and accurate identification of the anatomic structures of interest. Hematoxylin and eosin stained longitudinal and transverse sections demonstrate gross anatomic relationships and illustrate the microscopic anatomy of major organs. Unlike much of the current literature, this book is focused exclusively on the zebrafish, eliminating the need for researchers to exclude structures that are only found in other fish.
