When we think of a manual, the idea of a book that concisely and clearly distills the essentials of a topic comes to mind. With an uncommon and provocative title, Manual to Die Happy speaks to us about life and invites us to celebrate it. French writer André Malraux pointed out that “death only has importance to the extent that it makes us reflect on the value of life.” In this vein, with a clear and didactic style, Mónica Tambini Ávila proposes that we take responsibility for our own existence in the face of the inevitable: death. So, how do we prepare to die happy? Is it possible to die happy? To answer these questions, Mónica dares to share everything about her experiences, lessons, and reflections on this topic. This book challenges us to think about the purpose of our existence, our life plan, happiness, love, gratitude, forgiveness, illness, and other aspects that encourage us not to delay what needs to be done and to keep our affairs and paperwork in order. Manual to Die Happy is a challenge to free ourselves from excuses, dare to be responsible for our decisions, and thus live in happiness.

Evaluating the existing position of film as research, Filmmaking in Academia offers clear guidance and practical advice from the planning and conception of research films to the making, evaluation, dissemination and impact of practice-based research. This book aspires to serve as a guide for new and current researchers in screen-based media and creative practice. It seeks to explore the scope, definitions, methodologies, and interdisciplinary (and post-disciplinary) nature of film research projects. Author Agata Lulkowska focuses on how to manage potential challenges when artistic creativity meets research requirements, emphasising how finding the middle ground that serves both purposes often requires redesigning brand-new methodological approaches. Looking specifically at the publication routes for research films, the book highlights current dissemination practices and raises the question of impact throughout to re-contextualise current publication methodologies for practice-based projects. This exciting new work provides key reading for graduate students, academics, and filmmakers looking to move into academia.
The globalizing world is increasingly confronting a new category of security issues related to resource availability. The resource environment contains both traditional categories, such as energy, foodstuffs, and water, as well as new technologically related resources, such as rare earth minerals. The essays in this volume emphasize both the uniqueness and the magnitude of these new challenges, while simultaneously acknowledging that cooperation and competition in response to these security concerns occur within the context of both the historical and contemporary international power configurations. Moreover, these challenges are of a global nature and will require global perspectives, global thinking, and innovative global solutions. Krishna-Hensel brings together a wide range of topics focusing on critical resource availability impacting upon global security and the geopolitical ramifications of resource competition. The volume addresses the development of strategic thinking on these issues and underscores the increasing awareness that this is a critical area of concern in the twenty-first century global landscape.
Após abandonar a rica propriedade paterna e sair em busca da verdade sobre o sofrimento humano, Sidarta Gáutama (aproximadamente 563-483 a.C.) atingiu a Iluminação, em 528 a.C. Conseguira despir-se de todo desejo, todo ódio e toda ilusão, tornando-se o Desperto. Decidiu então partilhar o conhecimento que adquirira sobre os mistérios da existência humana (o nascimento e a morte, a doença, a velhice e o sofrimento) e em várias ocasiões proferiu os versos de Darmapada. Principal e mais difundida obra do cânone budista, o Darmapada (ou "Versículos do darma", ou ainda "A doutrina budista em versos") é, portanto, uma coleção de aforismos éticos e morais. Preservados primeiramente de forma oral, foram registrados por escrito no século I, no Ceilão (atual Sri Lanka). Suas 423 estrofes ensinam como as pessoas devem se comportar e relacionar-se umas com as outras de forma a atingir o Nirvana. A presente tradução é a primeira versão para o português a ser feita diretamente do páli – forma popular do sânscrito – e mantém, ao mesmo tempo, o lirismo e a simplicidade dos ensinamentos de Buda.

Would you like to discover in detail Generation Z? Do you work with young people and find it increasingly difficult to interact with them? Have you always dreamed of having a productive and intergenerational team? Lately, I have started to hear comments about the difficulty of interacting and working with the new generation of young people who have just started to work, Gen Z. But are they really the ones who had to adapt to us? Or are the rest of us the ones who had to adapt to them? Conscientious as I am, I became obsessed with finding a solution for such a problem and coming up with a systematic approach that would allow me to connect with them. For that purpose, I conducted an exhaustive...

Este livro influenciou diretamente a Revolução Francesa e os rumos da história. Impactante ensaio, O contrato social ou Princípios de Direito político causou furor desde sua publicação, em 1762, e eternizou-se como um dos principais textos fundadores do Estado moderno. Nele, o filósofo iluminista, romancista, teórico e compositor suíço Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) – em meio a uma Europa majoritariamente monarquista, defensora da legitimação sobrenatural dos governantes – lança e defende a novidade de que o poder político de uma sociedade está no povo e só dele emana. Estavam plantados os conceitos do povo soberano e da igualdade de direitos entre os homens. Nesta qu...
