Com o aumento exponencial do envelhecimento populacional no Brasil, faz-se necessário o aprofundamento do estudo na população idosa, com um olhar atento tanto no tratamento como na prevenção de muitas doenças que acometem essa faixa etária. O livro Neuropsicogeriatria: uma abordagem integrada traz uma versão atualizada sobre as particularidades que o médico generalista, assim como o médico residente das três áreas afins (neurologia, psiquiatria e geriatria) precisa saber para assistir de forma ampla e efetiva a pessoa idosa. Para isto, esta obra buscou reunir o que há de mais relevante na interface entre as três especialidades desde a abordagem mais adequada a este público peculiar, até as patologias mais prevalentes, critérios diagnósticos e tratamentos atualizados. Além disso, tendo em vista a importância do conhecimento da imagem cerebral, ferramenta muitas vezes imprescindível e amplamente utilizada para diagnóstico e acompanhamento de diversas patologias presentes nesta obra, incluímos um capítulo especial sobre neuroradiologia, com imagens ilustrativas de alta resolução.

Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.

Best-selling Economics of Strategy focuses on the key economic concepts students must master in order to develop a sound business strategy.

Jeremy Waldron has been a challenging and influential voice in the moral, political and legal debates surrounding the response to terrorism since 9/11. His contributions have spanned the major controversies of the War on Terror - including the morality and legality of torture, whether security can be 'balanced' with liberty, and the relationship between public safety and individual rights. He has also tackled underlying questions essential to understanding the practical debates - including what terrorism is, and what a right to security would entail. This volume collects all Waldron's work on these issues, including six published essays and two previously unpublished essays. It also includes a new introduction in which Waldron presents an overview of his contribution, and looks at the problems currently facing the Obama administration and the UK Government in dealing with the legacy of the Bush White House. The volume will be essential reading for all those engaged with contemporary politics, security law, and the continuing struggle for an ethical response to terrorism.
