Brazilian Geography
This book presents the history and theoretical contributions of Brazilian geography since the late twentieth century and shows how this sphere of knowledge has been organically integrated with social and territorial issues and with social movements. The relationship between the subjects and objects of research in Brazilian geography has been centred on the understanding and transformation of realities marked by injustice and inequality. Against this backdrop, the geography of the country has developed by integrating, relating to, and forming part of those realities as it headed out into the streets. Brazilian geography continues to hold theoretical debate in high regard as a result of the influence of critical theory. This book thus covers the theoretical approaches in Brazilian geography, its different lines of research, and above all its character as manifested in culture and society.
Desistir não é opção!
Certo dia na praia, quando um casal de desconhecidos lhe perguntou a idade, o Paulinho disparou apressado: "Tenho sete anos." Mas não tinha, era uma mentira inocente de criança, que a um mês do aniversário queria impressionar... Ao lado, o pai fingiu não ouvir, com um sorriso nos lábios. Naquele momento, debaixo de um Sol radioso, ao ouvir o barulho das ondas, Paulo Sousa Costa desfrutava apenas do despreocupado amor pelo filho, no último dia de praia, no fim do último Verão que passariam juntos. O Paulo não sabia, nunca poderia imaginar, que o Paulinho não chegaria a fazer sete anos. Ao anjinho louro, de cabelo encaracolado, sobravam apenas 15 dias de vida. Num dia estava bom, no...

Textbook of Patient Safety and Clinical Risk Management
Implementing safety practices in healthcare saves lives and improves the quality of care: it is therefore vital to apply good clinical practices, such as the WHO surgical checklist, to adopt the most appropriate measures for the prevention of assistance-related risks, and to identify the potential ones using tools such as reporting & learning systems. The culture of safety in the care environment and of human factors influencing it should be developed from the beginning of medical studies and in the first years of professional practice, in order to have the maximum impact on clinicians' and nurses' behavior. Medical errors tend to vary with the level of proficiency and experience, and this m...

Diversity and Universality in Causal Cognition
Causality is one of the core concepts in any attempt to make sense of the world, and the explanations people come up with shape their judgments, emotions, intentions and actions. This renders causal cognition a core topic for the social as well as the cognitive sciences. In the past, however, research has been split into diverging paradigms, each pertaining to a distinct (sub)discipline and focusing on a specific domain, thus creating a rather fragmented picture of causal cognition. Furthermore, most of this previous research paid only incidental attention to culture as a possibly constitutive factor, leaving important questions unanswered: Is causality always perceived in the same way? Are ...
