"Ao percorrer cada capítulo, o leitor encontrará análises detalhadas sobre o sistema tributário brasileiro. Em cada página, nota-se o comprometimento destes pesquisadores com a evolução contínua do pensamento jurídico relacionado aos direitos fundamentais do contribuinte, e a influência, por igual, das ideias do professor homenageado. Os direitos fundamentais do contribuinte não surgiram de uma única ideia ou momento histórico. São, de fato, o resultado de um processo evolutivo, moldado por tentativas, erros e ajustes, em um esforço coletivo das sociedades humanas para equilibrar a necessária ação de cobrar tributos com a proteção contra o arbítrio. A trajetória que des...
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...

This edited book explores the digital challenge for cultural-creative organizations and industries, and its impact on production, meaning-making, consumption and valuation of cultural-creative products and experiences. Discussing digital changes such as user-generated content, social media, business model innovation and product development, the chapters challenge deep-seated definitions of creative individuals, organizations and industries, offering insights into how this creative aspect is argued and legitimized.

"O livro MAGISTÉRIO: o encantamento do tear nos dá uma lição de história exitosa de uma vida comprometida com o saber e o agir, o agir coletivo por uma sociedade inclusiva, de justiça e igualdade. É uma lição poética e de muita sabedoria na interpretação do tear da vida nas suas diferentes dimensões. É uma demonstração exemplar de como fazer um Memorial capaz de superar a descrição, em busca de uma visão interpretativa do sujeito autor que supera o aparente, procurando desnudar a essência de sua vida."

Latin America offers a democratic and constitutional process, with the goals to respect fundamental human rights and control the excess of power. Nevertheless, the weaknesses of the rule of law’s institutions does not guarantee for all citizens the protection of old and new rights. In this sense, the Inter-American Fundamental Rights Conference organized by the Inter-American Network on Fundamental Rights and Democracy (RED–IDD) is an annual meeting of professors and researchers from the different universities of Latin America, addressing topics of particular importance regarding the possibilities and challenges of the consolidation of the constitutional state in the region. This book presents the minutes of the Fourth Inter-American Fundamental Rights Conference, and explores topics such as political rights and the consolidation of democracy in Latin America; impeachment and judicial guarantees; the challenges of freedom of information: and judicial protection and due process, amongst others.
