Análise de classe
O objetivo central desta obra é esclarecer o complexo conjunto de conceituações alternativas de classe alicerçadas em diferentes tradições teóricas. Os sociólogos discordam não apenas quanto à melhor definição de classe como sobre o papel geral que desempenha na Teoria Social e mesmo sua importância continuada na análise sociológica da sociedade contemporânea. Este livro investiga os fundamentos teóricos de seis importantes concepções de classe, cada capítulo escrito por um especialista da área. E conclui com um mapa conceitual das alternativas de abordagem e indagando: "Se 'classe' é a resposta, qual é a questão?"
Perfil dos idosos e longevos do Brasil: análise da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde – IBGE 2013
O envelhecimento, embora seja um processo natural que ocorre em outras fases da vida, torna-se mais acelerado a partir das faixas etárias mais avançadas. Apesar disso, poucos estudos têm se dedicado a entender a situação de saúde e vida dos brasileiros com 80 anos ou mais, ou seja, os longevos.
A Voice for Earth
A Voice for Earth is a collection of poems, essays, and stories that together give a voice to the ethical principles outlined in the Earth Charter. The Earth Charter was adopted in the year 2000 with the mission of addressing the economic, social, political, spiritual, and environmental problems confronting the world in the twenty-first century. Part 1 of the book, "Imagination into Principle," comprises Steven C. Rockefeller's behind-the-scenes summary of how the language for the Earth Charter was drafted. In part 2, "Principle into Imagination," ten writers breathe life into its concepts with their own original work. Contributors include Rick Bass, Alison Hawthorne Deming, John Lane, Robert Michael Pyle, Janisse Ray, Scott Russell Sanders, Lauret Savoy, and Mary Evelyn Tucker. In part 3, "Imagination and Principle into a New Ethic," Leonardo Boff offers a new paradigm created through reflecting on the concept of care in the Earth Charter.

Os Tribunais de Contas Brasileiros na Era Democrática:
O livro Os Tribunais de Contas brasileiros na era democrática lança mão de pesquisa teórica-empírica para traçar o perfil dessas instituições que surgem no Brasil no limiar da República e que vêm desenvolvendo-se até os dias atuais. Apesar de sua longevidade, os Tribunais de Contas (TCs) ainda são pouco conhecidos e distanciados da sociedade. Esses dois fatores suscitam dúvidas quanto aos aspectos de transparência, participação e submissão dessas instituições ao controle cidadão, requisitos caros e reclamados pela sociedade contemporânea num contexto mais plural de democracia representativa-participativa.
Approaches to Class Analysis
Few themes have been as central to sociology as 'class' and yet class remains a perpetually contested idea. Sociologists disagree not only on how best to define the concept of class but on its general role in social theory and indeed on its continued relevance to the sociological analysis of contemporary society. Some people believe that classes have largely dissolved in contemporary societies; others believe class remains one of the fundamental forms of social inequality and social power. Some see class as a narrow economic phenomenon whilst others adopt an expansive conception that includes cultural dimensions as well as economic conditions. This 2005 book explores the theoretical foundations of six major perspectives of class with each chapter written by an expert in the field. It concludes with a conceptual map of these alternative approaches by posing the question: 'If class is the answer, what is the question?'
