Compreender fenômenos a partir de nossas experiências e vivências cotidianas é algo tão encantador que nos leva a entender sobre a necessidade de nos atentar minimamente aos detalhes que passam despercebidos ou não são considerados quando nos propomos a pensar sobre um conhecimento. A Corporeidade é um tema que nos leva a adentrar nos mistérios da existência humana, considerando e reconsiderando constantemente esse ser que vive e está no mundo nas suas diversas relações, seja consigo, com o outro e com o mundo. Associar esse conhecimento a diferentes maneiras de ser e estar no mundo educacional é o que os autores desta obra se propuseram. No livro Corporeidade e Educação: di...

This book, the first study of its kind, examines the economics behind motorsports, in particular Formula One. Chapters discuss the costs involved in Formula racing and how they are borne by teams, promoters and racers. The book also looks at how society, the public and the private sectors stand to benefit economically from the motorsport industry. Other issues like the economics of TV rights, sponsorship and sustainability are also addressed, again for the first time in an economics book. Moving beyond the economics of what happens off the track, the book also undertakes a serious examination of what goes in to making a winning team and what having a winning racer can do for a team’s fortunes. Mourão’s highly relevant and contemporary book also looks at how motorsport teams confront the challenges of the modern sporting world, including the changing dynamics of sports media and considers the future of Formula 1 as motorsports evolve.
Matters related to sustainable development, albeit global in nature, are best handled at the local level. This line of thinking is particularly true to the higher education context, where the design and implementation of sustainability initiatives on campuses can demonstrate how a given university translates the principles of sustainable development into practice, at the institutional level. Yet, there is a paucity of specific events where a dialogue among sustainability academics and practitioners concerned with a) research, projects b) teaching and c) planning and infra-structure leading to campus greening takes place, so as to allow a transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral exchange of ideas...
James Charlton has produced a ringing indictment of disability oppression, which, he says, is rooted in degradation, dependency, and powerlessness and is experienced in some form by five hundred million persons throughout the world who have physical, sensory, cognitive, or developmental disabilities. Nothing About Us Without Us is the first book in the literature on disability to provide a theoretical overview of disability oppression that shows its similarities to, and differences from, racism, sexism, and colonialism. Charlton's analysis is illuminated by interviews he conducted over a ten-year period with disability rights activists throughout the Third World, Europe, and the United State...
O livro é fruto de um conjunto de pesquisas e reflexões que têm sido produzidas, nos anos recentes, sobre os rastros do neoliberalismo no campo da Educação. Considerando as várias facetas presentes nas discussões sobre o neoliberalismo, nosso interesse, ao propormos a construção deste livro, está nas reflexões que giram em torno dos seus efeitos na área da Educação. Com o intuito de seguir o debate e apresentar problematizações vinculadas aos efeitos do neoliberalismo no campo da Educação, convidamos pesquisadoras e pesquisadores de diferentes instituições de ensino do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), do Brasil e da Colômbia para debaterem esse tema a partir de suas experiências e reflexões.
