A proteção de dados adquiriu, nos últimos tempos, o reconhecimento de uma disciplina autônoma, marcada por um objetivo conciliador. Ao mesmo tempo em que busca, com preponderância, garantir a proteção da personalidade do titular dos dados pessoais, não pode descurar o fluxo informacional, ativo indispensável no contexto da sociedade da informação e da comunicação atual. É na busca desse equilíbrio razoável entre proteção e circulação dos dados que se situa essa, relativamente, nova disciplina, e que, muito embora a sua juventude, ampara os seus fundamentos nos Direitos Fundamentais e no Direito Civil, além de dialogar com outras áreas do direito, como o Direito do Consumidor, o Direito Administrativo, o Direito do Trabalho e o Direito Penal, para mencionar apenas alguns exemplos.
O livro Fraternidade, Tecnologia e Direitos Humanos reúne autores contemporâneos que propõem um novo olhar sobre o Direito do Trabalho, a partir das temáticas afeitas e orientações da Prof.a Dr.a Luciane Cardoso Barzotto durante os cursos de pós-graduação stricto sensu da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).
This book represents the first multidisciplinary scientific work on a deep volcanic maar lake in comparison with other similar temperate lakes. The syntheses of the main characteristics of Lake Pavin are, for the first time, set in a firmer footing comparative approach, encompassing regional, national, European and international aquatic science contexts. It is a unique lake because of its permanently anoxic monimolimnion, and furthermore, because of its small surface area, its substantially low human influence, and by the fact that it does not have a river inflow. The book reflects the scientific research done on the general limnology, history, origin, volcanology and geological environment as well as on the geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Other chapters focus on the biology and microbial ecology whereas the sedimentology and paleolimnology are also given attention. This volume will be of special interest to researchers and advanced students, primarily in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology.

About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.

In seven interconnected short stories, the Guatemalan countryside is ever-present: a place of timeless peace, and the site of sudden violence. Don Henrik, a good man struck time and again by misfortune, confronts the crude realities of farming life, family obligation, and the intrusions of merciless entrepreneurs, hitmen, drug dealers, and fallen angels, all wanting their piece of the pie. Told with precision and a stark beauty, Trout, Belly Up is a beguiling, disturbing ensemble of moments set in the heart of a rural landscape in a country where brutality is never far from the surface.
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
