Privacidade, o novo direito a ter direitos
Privacidade, o novo direito a ter direito A expressão "direito a ter direitos" foi cunhada pela filósofa alemã Hannah Arendt para definir o direito à cidadania em meados do século XX. O presente livro defende a ideia de que na atualidade a privacidade passa a ser o novo direito a ter direitos, tendo em conta que se trata de um direito que antecede, tangencia e interpenetra em outros direitos e valores humanos. Nessa ordem de ideias e para demonstrar a importância deste tema na contemporaneidade, o livro aponta que boa parte das mudanças sociais e econômicas experimentadas neste momento histórico se pautam na utilização de tecnologias digitais, que, sem que percebamos, captam nosso...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
The Alcalde
As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."
Three Sad Races
An innovative interpretation of the development of Brazilian literature from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.

World Development Report 2018
Every year, the World Bank’s World Development Report (WDR) features a topic of central importance to global development. The 2018 WDR—LEARNING to Realize Education’s Promise—is the first ever devoted entirely to education. And the time is right: education has long been critical to human welfare, but it is even more so in a time of rapid economic and social change. The best way to equip children and youth for the future is to make their learning the center of all efforts to promote education.The 2018 WDR explores four main themes:First, education’s promise: education is a powerful instrument for eradicating poverty and promoting shared prosperity, but fulfilling its potential requi...
Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil
Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil is the first full-length study of dinosaurs in Brazil. Some 500 dinosaur trackways from the Cretaceous period still remain in the Rio do Peixe basins of Brazil, making it one of the largest trackways in the world. Veteran paleontologists Giuseppe Leonardi and Ismar de Souza Carvalho painstakingly document and analyze each track found at 37 individual sites and at approximately 96 stratigraphic levels. Richly illustrated and containing a wealth of data, Leonardi and de Souza Carvalho brilliantly reconstruct the taxonomic groups of the dinosaurs from the area and show how they moved across the alluvial fans, meandering rivers, and shallow lakes of ancient Gondwana. Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil is essential reading for paleontologists.
Responsabilidade civil e direito de família
A obra coletiva "Diálogos entre Responsabilidade civil e direito de família: O Direito de danos na parentalidade e conjugalidade", consiste em mais um empreendimento do Instituto Brasileiro de Estudos de Responsabilidade Civil (IBERC), aqui estruturado no sentido de sistematizar as ainda imprecisas fronteiras entre as duas disciplinas no direito brasileiro. Para tanto, os coordenadores Nelson Rosenvald, Ana Carolina Brochado Teixeira e Renata Vilela Multedo optaram por fracionar o conteúdo de 36 artigos em três eixos temáticos. O primeiro eixo: "responsabilidade civil na parentalidade" ilustra os potenciais ilícitos e danos decorrentes de relações filiais; o segundo eixo explora a "responsabilidade civil na conjugalidade", evidenciando hipóteses diversas que dão ensejo à obrigação de indenizar tendo como ponto de partida o cenário das relações amorosas. Finalmente, o último eixo "a reconstrução da responsabilidade civil nas famílias contemporâneas" avança sobre os desafios da conjugação entre o direito de danos e a complexidade das múltiplas formações familiares.
