Participar de bancas avaliadoras de projetos de investimento e novos negócios em disciplinas de business games foi o ponto de partida para “As 10 habilidades estratégico-financeiras dos gestores modernos”. Quanto mais analisava times de projetos formados por alunos em conclusão de MBA, mais o autor se questionava sobre três pontos importantes. Os alunos em conclusão de cursos de MBA não sabem montar um planejamento, não têm a dimensão exata do que é ser gestor e são despreparados para lidar com finanças. Pois bem, esta obra é uma valiosa contribuição sobre a questão de finanças para profissionais que busquem desenvolver suas habilidades financeiras e gerenciais, sejam gestores de qualquer área, sejam aspirantes ao cargo de gestor. Mesmo sem formação em áreas relacionadas a finanças, conhecer o básico de matemática financeira e ser curioso sobre o que faz um negócio girar já é meio caminho andado.
Fish species that migrate within the great rivers of South America support important local fisheries but are little known outside their native range. This book represents the first collection of the work of local scientific experts on these remarkable fish. The authors cover the Upper Parani, Paraguay-Parani, Uruguay and Suo Francisco basins in Brazil, as well as the Brazilian and Colombian Amazon. They discuss not only the principal migratory species and their fascinating relationship with the water cycle in the rivers and wetlands, but also the fisheries they support, and their often precarious conservation status."

"The book provides a deeper understanding of modern art in the Brazilian context, moving the focus away from the self-declared avant-gardes and towards a broad panorama of modernizing tendencies throughout the period, 1890 to 1945. The backdrop of sertão, favelas, carnival and samba - often left out of accounts that restrict readings of modernism to erudite arenas like literature, fine art or architecture - are foregrounded in an attempt to situate artistic discourses within the social and political struggles of the period. Race, class and ideological conflict are given priority as tools for deconstructing complex debates, too often taken at face value or misread as merely reflexive of Euro...

The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism. Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University.
A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.
INTRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT AND CITIZENSHIP The environmental issues in the contemporary world are no longer limited to the private sector or public sector. Industry, commerce and governments are no longer the only agents interacting within the environment discussion. The current laws are not based on protection and essential attention on environmental issues and require the participation of an agent of paramount importance: the citizen. According to the dictionary, citizen is a person who is a member of a country and has rights or any performance of their duties to a state. The environmental problems that lead every day on our street, neighborhood, city, state, country, world and finally in ou...
