O livro apresenta artigos de opinião reunidos em quatro grandes temáticas: Futebol e Opressões; Futebol e Neoliberalismo; Futebol e Política Nacional; Futebol e Outros Mundos Possíveis. Com uma escrita leve, busca-se interpretar e refletir sobre o que ocorre dentro e fora das quatro linhas à luz de conceitos de pensadores e pensadoras das Ciências Humanas. Texto de contracapa: A ideia do livro é servir como porta de entrada – ou pontapé inicial – para leitores e leitoras que queiram se familiarizar com aspectos das Ciências Humanas que possibilitem interpretar o fenômeno do futebol, podendo ser instrumento de divulgação científica. E, claro, isso a partir de uma visão crítica sobre a realidade social e sobre o que ocorre dentro e fora de campo.
Este livro autobiográfico autêntico e comovente conta a história de um menino que, desde muito pequeno, sonhava em ser jogador de futebol. Tinha certo dom para jogar bola, mas sua paixão pelo futebol era infinitamente maior. Aos 11 anos, ingressou no seu primeiro time de futebol de salão. Aos 16, aceitou o desafio de sair de casa e ir para outro estado em busca do seu sonho. Depois de muita dedicação, de muita resiliência e de muito sacrifício, conquistou a principal competição esportiva do futebol de campo de base no país: a Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. Mas, foi no Futebol de Areia (Beach Soccer), após sua desistência do futebol de campo profissional e quando menos esperava, que conquistou o Brasil e o Mundo, sendo Bicampeão Mundial e Brasileiro. Aos 31 anos, no auge da carreira no Beach Soccer, descobriu uma doença grave e maligna que mudou sua vida para sempre. Pela Fé em Jesus Cristo, vem superando momentos difíceis de quase morte para lhes contar essa história verídica e surpreendente.
Walter Rodney is revered throughout the Caribbean as a teacher, a hero, and a martyr. This book remains the foremost work on the region.
How has the regulation of business shifted from national to global institutions? What are the mechanisms of globalization? Who are the key actors? What of democratic sovereignty? In which cases has globalization been successfully resisted? These questions are confronted across an amazing sweep of the critical areas of business regulation--from contract, intellectual property and corporations law, to trade, telecommunications, labor standards, drugs, food, transport and environment. This book examines the role played by global institutions such as the World Trade Organization, World Health Organization, the OECD, IMF, Moodys and the World Bank, as well as various NGOs and significant individuals. Incorporating both history and analysis, Global Business Regulation will become the standard reference for readers in business, law, politics, and international relations.
In this book we have taken a comprehensive look at the subject of familial and hereditary gastric tumors. In particular, the aim of this novel editorial work is to propose the correct management of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer patients, focusing in particular on E-cadherin germline mutations, clinical criteria definition, genetic screening and molecular mechanisms, pathology and microscopic features, surgical treatment and clinical approach for asymptomatic mutation carriers. We also describe other inherited predispositions involving gastric carcinoma.
The massive grasslands of Brazil -- known as the cerrados -- which cover roughly a quarter of its land surface and are among the most threatened regions in South America, have received little media attention. This book brings together leading researchers on the area to produce the first detailed account in English of the natural history and ecology of the cerrado/savanna ecosystem. Given their extent and threatened status, the richness of their flora and fauna, and the lack of familiarity with their unique ecology at the international level, the cerrados are badly in need of this important and timely work.
Global Application of Prescribed Fire provides a first-hand perspective of the various methods and ways people around the world view and use prescribed fire. It covers the logistics, constraints and social dynamics surrounding the intentional use and application of fire by humans, and demonstrates how, why, when and where prescribed fire is used in different regions. Written by international experts, the book has four key objectives: explore new techniques, ideas and thoughts on how to apply prescribed fire from a global perspective; provide regional case studies covering issues that may constrain or enhance prescribed fire projects; stimulate cross-cultural conversations about how fires fun...
This book provides a unique blend of data on insect life spans, physiology, enzymology and other molecular features associated with digestion and nutrient absorption to enrich the knowledge on insects and to disclose putative molecular targets for the development of new insect control technologies and for improving insect raising procedures to be used as food and feed. With this aim, the book overviews the types of diets consumed by insects, describing their chemical components demanding digestion and discusses the evolutionary selective pressures on insects associated with feeding. Digestive enzymes are classified and detailed according to their activity on substrates and their evolutionary...
