Muitas pessoas compreendem o Judô apenas como uma luta marcial, ou atividade física, quando na verdade o Judô é muito mais que uma modalidade desportiva, é uma arte, uma ciência, cuja busca principal é pelo desenvolvimento humano, seja no seu aspecto individual ou coletivo. Jigoro Kano, criador do Judô, visualizou na educação e no desporto poderosos instrumentos de mudança social. Assim, conhecer um pouco da história do Judô, bem como de seus princípios e fundamentos, nos ajuda a perceber o tamanho de sua importância para o mundo, inclusive para o Brasil, o qual se tornou uma referência no campo judoísta, tendo o Judô como umas das suas principais modalidades desportivas nacionais. E propor um diálogo entre o Judô e os atuais princípios do Direito Desportivo brasileiro é uma inovadora forma de perceber não só o conforto dessa interdisciplinaridade, como também a riqueza que se pode obter com as reflexões que nascem dessa releitura do Judô ao lado do Direito, do Desporto e da Educação Física.
In this provocative and now-classic work, Friedrich Engels explores the interrelated development of the family and the state from ancient society to the Victorian era. Drawing on new anthropological theories of his time, Engels argued that matriarchal communal societies had been overthrown by class society and its emphasis on private, not communal, property and monogamous, rather than polygamous, sexual organization. This historical development, Engels argued, constituted "the world-historic defeat of the female sex." A masterclass in the application of materialist thought to history and anthropology, and touching on love, monogamy, property, and the development of the human, this landmark work is still foundational in Marxist and socialist feminist theory.
In 1790, Xavier de Maistre was 27 years old, and a soldier in the army of the Sardinian Kingdom, which covered swathes of modern-day Northern Italy and Southern France. He was placed under house-arrest in Turin for fighting an illegal duel. It was during the 42 days of his confinement here that he wrote the manuscript that would become Voyage autour de ma chambre. Inspired by the works of Laurence Sterne, with their digressive and colloquial style, de Maistre decided to make the most of his sentence by recording an exploration of the room as a travel journal. de Maistre’s book imbues the tour of his chamber with great mythology and grand scale. As he wanders the few steps that it takes to circumnavigate the space, his mind spins off into the ether. It parodies the travel journals of the eighteenth-century (such as A Voyage Around the World by Louis de Bougainville, 1771), and could be read today as an early take on the modern vogue for “psychogeography” — each tiny thing that he encounters sends de Maistre into rhapsodies, and mundane journeys become magnificent voyages.
Laws, decrees, and administrative acts of government.
The authors argue that the rules and practices of corporate law mimic contractual provisions that parties would reach if they bargained about every contingency at zero cost and flawlessly enforced their agreements. But bargaining and enforcement are costly, and corporate law provides the rules and an enforcement mechanism that govern relations among those who commit their capital to such ventures. The authors work out the reasons for supposing that this is the exclusive function of corporate law and the implications of this perspective.

Architecture is the art and science of accommodating the lives we want to live. Our cities and buildings aren't givens; they are the way they are because that is as far as we have come to date. They are the best efforts of our ancestors and fellow planetizens, and if they have shortcomings, it is up to us to continue that effort, pick up where they left off. Bjarke Ingels Group's (BIG) grand mission is to find a pragmatic utopia, shaping not only a particular structural entity, but the kind of world we wish to inhabit. This book examines BIG's odyssey of architectural adaptation
