The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 38
Volume 38 opens on 1 July 1802, when Jefferson is in Washington, and closes on 12 November, when he is again there. For the last week of July and all of August and September, he resides at Monticello. Frequent correspondence with his heads of department and two visits with Secretary of State James Madison, however, keep the president abreast of matters of state. Upon learning in August of the declaration of war by Mawlay Sulayman, the sultan of Morocco, much of the president's and the cabinet's attention is focused on that issue, as they struggle to balance American diplomatic efforts with reliance on the country's naval power in the Mediterranean. Jefferson terms the sultan's actions "palpa...
Direito à felicidade
A fonte de inspiração desse trabalho vem da observação de que a felicidade passa a compor os debates jurídicos internacionais, precisando, no Brasil, de uma investigação a respeito dos importantes fenômenos que giram em torno desse fato. Pretende-se investigar duas questões: uma geral e, se confirmada esta, uma específica. A questão geral se refere à existência de um direito amplo à felicidade. Visa a identificar se há referências históricas de apelo normativo a essa aspiração humana tão básica e, havendo, qual o momento em que elas se estabeleceram e em quais bases foram construídas. Há um direito natural à felicidade? Mais do que um elemento moral e ético que conduziu civilizações, a felicidade seria um bem apto a ser constitucionalmente protegido e, consequentemente, digno da atenção dos sistemas normativos por meio de leis e políticas públicas? Assim sendo, poderiam, os tribunais, definir seus contornos conceituais de modo a reduzir o uso populista, demagogo ou abusivo do direito à felicidade por parte das autoridades responsáveis pela sua concretização? Questões como essas aparecem como objetivo geral a ser investigado.
Sex and Pregnancy
Pregnant women and their partners often ask healthcare professionals whether sex is safe during pregnancy, and what consequences may result from sexual activity. Many clinicians can also be unsure of the answers to these type of questions, leading to both patient and clinician resorting to the internet for advice, which can be inaccurate and anxiety-inducing. Here, the authors provide clinicians with an insight into the information offered by 'Dr Google' so that they can reassure and advise their patients as necessary. Aimed at obstetricians and other physicians caring for pregnant women, this book reviews the implications of sex during pregnancy such as those complicated by medical conditions, those at risk of preterm birth and multiple pregnancies. Other chapters cover physiological changes during pregnancy that may affect sexual function and intimacy, as well as the differing guidelines provided by various global obstetric societies.
Strange Pilgrimages
This anthology "decolonizes" the voices of Latin Americans who travel abroad and engage in cultural critiques of their homelands in counterpoint to foreigners' better known accounts of Latin America. The 17 contributions by North and South American academics examine--including entertaining first person accounts--the themes of constructing nations/a national identity post- independence, touring modernity, taking sides, and the art of living and working abroad. References include suggested films (e.g. Carmen Miranda: Bananas is My Business, 1994) as well as readings. Lacks an index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 23
This volume deals with an unusually active, dramatic period during Thomas Jefferson's tenure as Secretary of State.
The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 22
The months covered by this volume illustrate the variety of topics characteristic of the Jefferson Papers. Subjects range from Jefferson's continued overseeing of the planning of the Federal District that became Washington, D.C., to his worries over his debts and his exchange of correspondence with the free black Benjamin Banneker. This period, an unusually significant time for Jefferson as Secretary of State, saw the opening of a new phase of diplomacy. When Jefferson returned to the capital after a stay at Monticello in the fall, the first British minister to the United States had arrived, and the new representative from France had been in the city since August. During this time Jefferson ...
Naked Tropics
In this volume distinguished historian Kenneth Maxwell collects some of his most significant writings, following Portugal's imperial journey from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean and from the coast of Asia to the mouth of the Red Sea. Maxwell takes the reader on a lively journey from Macao to the Amazon forests-each piece in the collection is a reflection of the authors driving passions. Major themes he examines are: the peopling of the Americas, the shaking up of continents, the spirit that took a precocious Portugal into its imperial venture, the play between Portugal's' extensive imperial reach into Africa and Asia and the Americas, and the rise of Brazil and its tumultuous history.
