Gilberto Ulhôa Canto Presidente da Associação Brasileira de Direito Financeiro - ABDF por 28 anos, Ulhôa Canto sempretratou o Direito como verdadeiro artesanato e, por essa razão, deixou enorme e fundamental legado para a formação profissional de incontáveis seguidores pertencentes às mais diversas gerações. Um dos maiores juristas que este país já teve, Ulhôa Canto participou de forma decisiva na elaboração e solidificação do ordenamento jurídico em que se ampara o Sistema Tributário Nacional há 55 anos.

Dar aula de literatura é muito mais do que lidar com o cânone, muito mais do que fazer alunos decorarem estilos de época e autores consagrados. Talvez a literatura sequer possa ser ensinada, talvez ela nos arrebate assim, de repente, em verso e prosa, como por vezes parece acontecer num sarau: alguém recita o que precisa expressar; outro alguém assimila o que precisa sentir. Alexsandra, Luana, Luciana e Suelen têm feito isso ao entregarem aos seus alunos o protagonismo que lhes é de direito. Fábio Carlos de Mattos da Fonseca
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
