A Defensoria Pública e o cotidiano do Direito
presente obra resgata a memória de defensores públicos do Estado de Minas Gerais sobre os atendimentos realizados aos atingidos pelo rompimento da barragem da Mina do Córrego do Feijão em Brumadinho e os processos de trabalho a eles relacionados. É a redução a escrito de uma performance dialógica, multivocal consubstanciada em entrevistas abertas com doze defensores que participaram das ações após o desastre. Trata-se de uma história oral dos atendimentos, remontada a partir dos olhares desses profissionais sobre suas próprias trajetórias. A indagação que norteia o texto se refere ao modo como se deu o trânsito entre as contingências desses atendimentos e a técnica jurídi...
Memórias de um sobrevivente
"A data: 31 de julho de 2000. Segunda-feira, dia de fechamento da edição da Manchete. O número 2.520 da revista estava pronto para ser rodado e na quarta-feira chegar às bancas, como acontecia há 48 anos. A matéria especial de 14 páginas, assinada por Lorem Falcão e David Jr., abordava as ameaças de internacionalização da Amazônia e, desde a sexta-feira anterior, a foto de capa já havia sido escolhida.Na véspera, Rubens Barrichello conseguira sua primeira vitória na Fórmula-1, pela Ferrari, em Hockenheim, na Alemanha, e ganhava também a capa do exemplar que se tornou inédito, não chegando nem mesmo a ser impresso.As máquinas já estavam paradas.Pela primeira vez, em quase meio século, deixava de circular a revista que marcou época como um retrato do país em seus aspectos mais saudáveis e otimistas. Aquelas 96 páginas que ninguém leu eram o ponto final de um capítulo glorioso do jornalismo brasileiro.Naquele dia, 2.822 profissionais perderam um pedaço de suas vidas."

Cost Effectiveness Modelling for Health Technology Assessment
This book provides an introduction to decision analytic cost-effectiveness modelling, giving the theoretical and practical knowledge required to design and implement analyses that meet the methodological standards of health technology assessment organisations. The book guides you through building a decision tree and Markov model and, importantly, shows how the results of cost-effectiveness analyses are interpreted. Given the complex nature of cost-effectiveness modelling and the often unfamiliar language that runs alongside it, we wanted to make this book as accessible as possible whilst still providing a comprehensive, in-depth, practical guide that reflects the state of the art – that includes the most recent developments in cost-effectiveness modelling. Although the nature of cost effectiveness modelling means that some parts are inevitably quite technical, across the 13 chapters we have broken down explanations of theory and methods into bite-sized pieces that you can work through at your own pace; we have provided explanations of terms and methods as we use them. Importantly, the exercises and online workbooks allow you to test your skills and understanding as you go along.
Britain and the Onset of Modernization in Brazil 1850-1914
This is a detailed study of British influence in Brazil as a theme within the larger story of modernization. The British were involved at key points in the initial stages of modernization. Their hold upon the import-export economy tended to slow down industrialization, and there were other areas in which their presence acted as a brake upon Brazilian modernization. But the British also fostered change. British railways provided primary stimulus to the growth of coffee exports, and since the British did not monopolize coffee production, a large proportion of the profits remained in Brazilian hands for other uses. Furthermore, the burgeoning coffee economy shattered traditional economic, social and political relationships, opening up the way for other areas of growth. The British role was not confined to economic development. They also contributed to the growth of 'a modern world-view'. Spencerianism and the idea of progress, for instance, were not exotic and meaningless imports, but an integral part of the transformation Brazil was experiencing.
Days of National Festivity in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1823–1889
Official and popular celebrations marked the Brazilian empire's days of national festivity, and these civic rituals were the occasion for often intense debate about the imperial regime. Hendrik Kraay explores the patterns of commemoration in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, the meanings of the principal institutions of the constitutional monarchy established in 1822–24 (which were celebrated on days of national festivity), and the challenges to the imperial regime that took place during the festivities. While officialdom and the narrow elite sought to control civic rituals, the urban lower classes took an active part in them, although their popular festivities were not always welcomed by the elite. Days of National Festivity is the first book to provide a systematic analysis of civic ritual in a Latin American country over a long period of time—and in doing so, it offers new perspectives on the Brazilian empire, elite and popular politics, and urban culture.
The Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
