Difficulties and Challenges in Geriatric Health Management
Within modern medicine, a pressing concern looms; the care and well-being of our aging population. As the number of elderly individuals seeking medical attention continues to rise, healthcare professionals, particularly internists and family medicine specialists, find themselves faced with unique challenges in the diagnosis and management of geriatric patients. The specialized field of geriatrics demands a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in providing top-tier care to the elderly. Without this expertise, there is a risk of suboptimal healthcare outcomes, diminished quality of life, and increased mortality rates. Difficulties and Challenges in Geriatric Health Managemen...
Brazilian Geography
This book presents the history and theoretical contributions of Brazilian geography since the late twentieth century and shows how this sphere of knowledge has been organically integrated with social and territorial issues and with social movements. The relationship between the subjects and objects of research in Brazilian geography has been centred on the understanding and transformation of realities marked by injustice and inequality. Against this backdrop, the geography of the country has developed by integrating, relating to, and forming part of those realities as it headed out into the streets. Brazilian geography continues to hold theoretical debate in high regard as a result of the influence of critical theory. This book thus covers the theoretical approaches in Brazilian geography, its different lines of research, and above all its character as manifested in culture and society.

Ayahuasca as Liquid Divinity
Ayahuasca often yields transformative experiences that merge such familiar categories as the sacred and the secular, transcendence and immanence, subject and object, and the human and the nonhuman. However, such experiences are interpreted differently by Western and indigenous discourses. Using the work of French philosopher Bruno Latour, André van der Braak asks fundamental ontological questions in order to reimagine ayahuasca as liquid divinity, shifting the focus from ayahuasca experiences to ayahuasca-based ritual practices that aim to cultivate relationships with more-than-human powers, described by Latour as "beings of transformation and religion." Ayahuasca as Liquid Divinity: An Ont...
Concrete Inferno
After a coup in 1964 that ousted Brazil’s leftist President João Goulart from power, a brutal military dictatorship took the reins of the state. As a result, elements of the persecuted Brazilian Communist Party split from a more peaceful, orthodox line and declared their intent to wage an insurgent war against the government, plunging the country into a conflagration of violence marked by cycles of urban bombings, political assassinations, institutional torture, kidnappings, and summary executions. Concrete Inferno relays this period in Brazil in a lucid narrative history, exploring what drove the military coup of 1964, the subsequent rise of the Armed Left, and the successes and failures of the insurgency and how it concluded. Stretching from the rumblings of discontent during João Goulart’s ascendancy in 1961 to the strange conclusion of the dictatorship in 1985, the book draws on new primary sources and a wealth of English- and Portuguese-language resources to provide a complete and evenhanded portrait of the conflict.
LEGO®-Based Therapy
This complete guide to LEGO® Therapy contains everything you need to know in order to set up and run a LEGO® Club for children with autism spectrum disorders or related social communication difficulties and anxiety conditions. By providing a joint interest and goal, LEGO® building can become a medium for social development such as sharing, turn-taking, making eye-contact, and following social rules. This book outlines the theory and research base of the approach and gives advice on all practical considerations including space, the physical layout of the room and choosing and maintaining materials, as well as strategies for managing behaviour, further skill development, and how to assess progress. Written by the pioneer of the approach alongside those who helped form it through their research and evaluation, this evidence-based manual is essential reading for professionals working with autism who are interested in running a LEGO® Club or learning more about the therapy.
Anti-history
This book sets out to answer the call for the historic turn in organization studies through the development of an alternative methodology for history, one that we call ANTi-History. In responding to that call, this book contributes generally to the broad critique of the ahistorical nature of management and organization theory, but more specifically it sets out to address the need for more historicized research and in particular, alternative ways of writing and conceptualizing history. The application and theoretical development of ANTi-History is explored through the performance of a series of histories of Pan American Airways.

Direito Internacional
É possível reimaginar o direito internacional a partir de diferentes abordagens críticas? Nesta obra, são oferecidas algumas possíveis respostas a essa pergunta a partir de textos representativos das principais abordagens críticas contemporâneas ao direito internacional, a saber: Third World approaches to international law (TWAIL), estudos pós-coloniais e descoloniais, virada historiográfica, teorias feministas, teoria queer e teoria crítica racial. Além desses textos, este livro apresenta reflexões de pesquisadoras e pesquisadores brasileiros para apresentar a relevância dos argumentos dos textos de referência com relação ao eixo a que estão associados. O objetivo desta iniciativa é, assim, duplo: favorecer o diálogo desses textos com a academia lusófona de direito internacional e, ainda, insinuar possibilidades de reapropriação dessas próprias abordagens críticas em lugares epistêmicos alternativos.
