Sustainable procurement
“It's a fight against time." That is how the book begins, presenting a historical background of how the topic of sustainable production and consumption was included in the global agenda and reached Brazil. It is clear in the work who and what the potential actors and instruments that interact for that purpose are. In a fun way, thematic infographics show the impact from consumption and production, inspired by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). In Chapters 2 and 3, readers will find inspiring examples of institutional procurement collected through exclusive interviews, news articles, corporate reports and scientific articles describing successful experiences in the public and private sectors, hig...
Coronavírus e responsabilidade civil
"Como se vê do abrangente temário da obra, o IBERC e os autores dos 44 artigos que a compõem pretendem fornecer instrumento útil de reflexão científica, em meio aos primeiros impactos da pandemia no ambiente jurídico-normativo. Trata-se de livro que busca projetar luzes sobre problemas da responsabilidade civil que se inserem com absoluta prioridade na pauta das preocupações de advogados, juízes, professores e estudantes. De fato, diante dos gigantescos desafios que se avizinham, a difusão e o aprimoramento constante do conhecimento técnico-científico tornam-se método seguro e permanente para lidar com as incertezas do porvir e, sob tais circunstâncias, a doutrina, mais do que...
Coronavírus e responsabilidade civil
A parte introdutória desta obra coletiva fica a cargo da Professora da Faculdade de Direito de Coimbra, Mafalda Miranda Barbosa, com o artigo versando sobre "Coronavírus: a responsabilidade na experiência europeia – o caso Português". A autora principia em uma bipartição quanto às projeções negativa e positiva ao nível da responsabilidade civil. No aspecto negativo a covid-19 pode conduzir a uma exclusão da responsabilidade contratual, seja diante da força maior (impossibilidade de cumprimento não imputável ao devedor) ou nas situações em que, não havendo impossibilidade, o instituto da alteração superveniente das circunstâncias torna-se operante. Positivamente, a covid...

Essays on the Doctrinal Study of Law
Essays on the Doctrinal Study of Law is a summary of the author’s 40 years of research in the fields of civil law and the philosophy of law. The main focus is on the two main tasks in the doctrinal study of law: the interpretation and systematisation of legal norms. In this regard, Professor Aarnio deals with the theory of argumentation as well as with its foundations - i.e., with the ontology, epistemology and methodology of legal thinking - and develops the ideas that were first presented in The Rational as Reasonable (Kluwer 1987) in all of these dimensions. The work includes an updated discussion on the writings of Robert Alexy, Jûrgen Habermas, Ronald Dworkin and Alf Ross. A focal point of view concerns the distinction between positivism and non-positivism, in which the core of the criticism focuses on Scandinavian realism.

Brass Bands of the World: Militarism, Colonial Legacies, and Local Music Making
Bands structured around western wind instruments are among the most widespread instrumental ensembles in the world. Although these ensembles draw upon European military traditions that spread globally through colonialism, militarism and missionary work, local musicians have adapted the brass band prototype to their home settings, and today these ensembles are found in religious processions and funerals, military manoeuvres and parades, and popular music genres throughout the world. Based on their expertise in ethnographic and archival research, the contributors to this volume present a series of essays that examine wind band cultures from a range of disciplinary perspectives, allowing for a ...

Virtual Inequality
That there is a "digital divide"—which falls between those who have and can afford the latest in technological tools and those who have neither in our society—is indisputable. Virtual Inequality redefines the issue as it explores the cascades of that divide, which involve access, skill, political participation, as well as the obvious economics. Computer and Internet access are insufficient without the skill to use the technology, and economic opportunity and political participation provide primary justification for realizing that this inequality is a public problem and not simply a matter of private misfortune. Defying those who say the divide is growing smaller, this volume, based on a ...
