Esta obra conta com autores consagrados e reconhecidos no Brasil e no exterior que mantinham laços de amizade com o Professor Renan Lotufo há décadas, sendo que muitos desses autores foram seus alunos ou assistentes, por ele foram orientados e vieram de todas as regiões do Brasil para cursar o mestrado ou o doutorado na Faculdade de Direito da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP). Ressalte-se que esta obra inclui autores ainda jovens e que foram orientados pelo professor, da mesma forma que as referências bibliográficas nas disciplinas que ministrava incluíam obras clássicas – nacionais e estrangeiras – ao lado de outras publicadas recentemente por autores promissores que versavam sobre temas até então inéditos ou pouco explorados. Assim, passamos à apresentação dos textos elaborados para homenagear quem nos ensinou, orientou e continuará vivo por meio dos valiosos ensinamentos eternizados em suas obras.
Nos primórdios da civilização, o ser humano percebeu que, em grupo, era menos penoso suportar as perdas. O seguro surgiu da necessidade humana, como forma de minorar os prejuízos individuais. Com o tempo, houve grande aperfeiçoamento do instituto, especializando-se os seguradores em cálculos atuariais, atuando como gerenciador desse fundo comum, para o qual cada segurado contribui com uma parcela pecuniária, para que aquele possa garantir as consequências econômicas desses riscos. Na atualidade, tem-se um grande desenvolvimento do seguro de responsabilidade civil, o qual visa proteger o patrimônio do segurado de eventuais dívidas de responsabilidade que lhe possam ser imputadas e,...

Over the past decade, the Brazilian government has actively promoted oil palm in the Amazon biome as an alternative biodiesel feedstock to soy. Because of oil palms comparatively high productivity, it places less demand on land than soy and could thereby contribute to reducing pressure on the Amazonian forest. Although oil palm has long been a leading driver of deforestation and social conflict in major producer countries in Southeast Asia, the Brazilian government has put in place a number of mechanisms to ensure oil palm is cultivated sustainably and the sector is inclusive of the rural poor. Through research conducted in Brazils leading palm oil producing state of Pará, this paper analyzes the evolution and dynamics of the Brazilian palm oil value chain and the economic, environmental and social challenges faced by the sector. In so doing, it shows that under the right institutional and regulatory conditions, the palm oil sector can expand sustainably and inclusively within forested ecosystems. This though translates into considerably higher production costs for producers, thus undermining the international competitiveness of the Brazilian palm oil sector.

The development of the modern Yale Law School is deeply intertwined with the story of a group of students in the 1960s who worked to unlock democratic visions of law and social change that they associated with Yale's past and with the social climate in which they lived. During a charged moment in the history of the United States, activists challenged senior professors, and the resulting clash pitted young against old in a very human story. By demanding changes in admissions, curriculum, grading, and law practice, Laura Kalman argues, these students transformed Yale Law School and the future of American legal education. Inspired by Yale's legal realists of the 1930s, Yale law students between...

This book focuses on entomovectoring, also known as apivectoring, the method used for managing pollinators to increase crop yields and employ strategies of biocontrol in greenhouses and open fields. It is written by experts working in academia and industry from the different continents of the world. Over the past 25 years Research and Development has successfully investigated the potential of pollinators to perform two tasks: dispersal of biological control agents (BCOs) and their pollination service. This book provides a basic overview of the current literature on the different aspects and factors of this novel technology. It explains and presents practical cases of enhancing pollination coupled with the suppression of plant pathogens and pests under various agricultural production practices from greenhouse to open field conditions and crops ranging from orchard fruits, to small and tender berries, vegetables and oil seeds
