Escravidão Ilegal: Migração, Gênero e Novas Tecnologias em Debate

Este livro reflete sobre a escravidão contemporânea.

Mulheres escravizadas; tráfico de pessoas e exploração sexual; exploração de migrantes; trabalho forçado na marinha mercante, propostas de erradicação do trabalho escravo; mecanismos de responsabilização; controle das condições de trabalho por meio da “lista suja” e de selos sociais; mudanças na legislação e nas políticas públicas, seus avanços e retrocessos; decisões j...

Escravidão Contemporânea no Campo e na Cidade

Fruto de um trabalho minucioso e da urgência do debate sobre o tema, este livro revela a realidade brutal da escravidão contemporânea no Brasil, que persiste não somente no campo, com renomadas empresas dos setores alimentícios e do agronegócio se valendo de práticas escravistas, mas também nas cidades, por meio do trabalho doméstico sem respeito a quaisquer direitos e da exploração sexual de mulheres, jovens e crianças nas capitais e no interior do país. Unindo ensaios teóricos a pesquisas empíricas, com rico conteúdo documental, esta obra é uma coletânea com trinta e um capítulos que foram apresentados e discutidos na XIV Reunião Científica promovida pelo Grupo de Pesq...

Economics of Strategy

In today's global recession, strong management of firms and organizations are of the utmost importance. Best-selling Economics of Strategy focuses on the key economic concepts students must master in order to develop a sound business strategy. Bringing economic theory and strategic analysis to life in an engaging and uniquely modern way, Besanko et al. have collaborated for over 15 years to build an introductory business course that combines basic concepts from economic theory of the firm and industrial organization with ideas from modern strategy literature. The newly revised 5th edition offers more real-world applications to make materials studied in undergraduate Managerial Economics, Business Strategy, and Industrial Organization courses relevant. Armed with general principles, today's students—tomorrow's future managers—will be prepared to adjust their firms' business strategies to the demands of the ever-changing environment.

The provision of suitable mental health care is one of the major tasks facing general practitioners and their teams. Family-oriented primary care has moved from doctor-controlled to patient-centred consultations, with a greater emphasis on collaboration. The systemic framework uniquely lends itself to this shift in emphasis, as it views the delivery of care in social rather than merely medical terms. There is now a strong evidence base for the efficacy of systemic approaches in managing many different types of mental health and relationship issues. This text is a practical guide for health professionals working in primary care who wish to improve their management of problem patients, problem...

A Theory of Aspectuality

A Theory of Aspectuality

Sentences may pertain to states or processes or events. They may express duration, frequency, habituality, and many other forms of temporality. How do they do this? It is the aspectual properties of sentences in natural languages which allow the user to express a temporal structure, and Henk Verkuyl presents a unified formal system to account for them. He explains aspectuality in terms of the opposition between terminative aspect and durative aspect, and describes the way in which terminative aspect is compositionally formed on the basis of semantic information expressed by different syntactic elements, in particular the verb and its arguments. The aim is to determine which semantic conditions make a sentence terminative; but at least ten different forms of durative aspectuality are also treated. All are drawn into a theory which can account for both terminative and durative aspectuality together. A Theory of Aspectuality draws together into a coherent whole the author's thinking on the subject over the last twenty years, and will interest all those working on aspect and the semantics of noun phrases. It promises to be a major new contribution to our understanding of the subject.
