O presente livro tem o intuito de fornecer uma base teórica prévia ao estudo do chamado Direito do Agronegócio, o qual tem se destacado no cenário jurídico atual, devido, entre outros fatores, à relevância que esse setor econômico adquiriu nas últimas décadas. Todo ramo jurídico, tanto aqueles já consolidados, quanto os que ainda estão em construção, são caracterizados por uma Teoria Geral própria, ou seja, por uma reflexão séria a respeito dos conceitos e princípios próprios da disciplina em análise, buscando-se, também, colocá-la em confronto com outros setores da ciência jurídica e da cultura em geral. É por esse motivo que a presente obra pode ser bastante úti...
Um dos maiores desafios do agronegócio na contemporaneidade é conciliar a necessidade de incremento da produção de alimentos com os limites planetários, o desenvolvimento humano e os riscos inerentes à própria atividade desde o plantio até a comercialização. Diante de um cenário marcado pela complexidade, transnacionalização da produção de alimentos e interdependência global, a presente coletânea visa promover um debate qualificado entre o campo teórico e as experiências relevantes advindas da prática profissional no âmbito do direito do agronegócio, privilegiando abordagens que evidenciam os reflexos diretos e indiretos da regulação internacional ao longo da cadeia agroindustrial. "Direito, Regulação Internacional e Agronegócio" é uma obra abrangente que mergulha no contexto do setor do agronegócio, analisando como as questões de direito e regulação internacional impactam esse setor tão vital para a economia global e brasileira.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become the recognized instrument to assess the ecological burdens and human health impacts connected with the complete life cycle (creation, use, end-of-life) of products, processes and activities, enabling the assessor to model the entire system from which products are derived or in which processes and activities operate. This volume introduces the major new book series LCA Compendium - The Complete World of Life Cycle Assessment. In this volume, the main drivers in the development of LCA are explored. The volume also discusses strengths and limitations in LCA as well as challenges and gaps, thus offering an unbiased picture of the state-of-the-art and future of LCA.
First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of poverty, class and the welfare state.
The practice of plea bargaining plays a hugely significant role in the adjudication of criminal charges and has provoked intense debate about its legitimacy. This book offers the first full-length philosophical analysis of the ethics of plea bargaining. It develops a sustained argument for restrained forms of the practice and against the free-wheeling versions that predominate in the United States. In countries that have endorsed plea bargains, such as the United States, upwards of ninety percent of criminal defendants plead guilty rather than go to trial. Yet trials, which grant a presumption of innocence to defendants and place a substantial burden of proof on the state to establish guilt,...
"That relatively few criminal cases in this country are resolved by full Perry Mason-style strials is fairly common knowledge. Most cases are settled by a guilty plea after some form of negotiation over the charge or sentence. But why? The standard explanation is case pressure: the enormous volume of criminal cases, to be processed with limited staff, time and resources. . . . But a large body of new empirical research now demands that we re-examine plea negotiation. Milton Heumann's book, Plea Bargaining, strongly and explicitly attacks the case-pressure argument and suggests an alternative explanation for plea bargaining based on the adaptation of attorneys and judges to the local criminal court. The book is a significant and welcome addition to the literature. Heumann's investigation of case pressure and plea negotiation demonstrates solid research and careful analysis."—Michigan Law Review
Synthesizing 40 years of ongoing ecological research, this book examines the structure, function, and dynamics of the Lamto humid savanna. From the history of the Lamto ecology station, to an overview of enivronmental conditions of the site, and examining the integrative view of energy and nutrient fluxes relative to the dynamics of the region's vegetation, this exacting work is as unique and treasured as Lamto itself.
There can be little doubt that there are truly colossal challenges associated with providing food, fibre and energy for an expanding world population without further accelerating already rapid rates of biodiversity loss and undermining the ecosystem processes on which we all depend. These challenges are further complicated by rapid changes in climate and its additional direct impacts on agriculture, biodiversity and ecological processes. There are many different viewpoints about the best way to deal with the myriad issues associated with land use intensification and this book canvasses a number of these from different parts of the tropical and temperate world. Chapters focus on whether science can suggest new and improved approaches to reducing the conflict between productive land use and biodiversity conservation. Who should read this book? Policy makers in regional, state and federal governments, as well as scientists and the interested lay public.
