 Sabemos que a emergência climática é um dos principais problemas que ahumanidade deverá enfrentar neste século. Assim, a emergência climática e as crises adjacentes se intensificam, na medida em que a exploração excessiva do ambiente em nome de um sistema neoliberal se acentua e potencializa o que Trevisol (2003) denominou de crise socioambiental, a qual perpassa por diferentes dimensões de ordem econômica, social, política, epistemológica e ecológica, ocasionando a extinção em massa de diferentes espécies e agravando ainda mais a desigualdade social em todo o mundo. Nos últimos anos, o movimento social português pelo clima tem vindo a afirmar-se progressivamente no espaço político e mediático. A cobertura mediática é um objetivo intencional procurado pelos movimentos sociais, especialmente devido à sua influência nas representações que permeiam o pensamento coletivo. Devido ao poder que os media têm na criação e consolidação de representações sociais, e face ao conhecimento limitado sobre a cobertura mediática do ativismo climático em contexto nacional, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as representações e a contextualização dos ativistas pelo clima na imprensa.

Smarter Cities Portugal - Innovation incubatours and public entrepreneurs in times of decentralization - 9 Case studies

~~17,70€~~ 14,16€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 «Portugal is currently preparing a National Strategy on Smart Cities - an initiative of the Portuguese Government. This aims to scale up current initiatives and projects and to highlight the importance of multilevel cooperation, interoperability, and the sharing of good practices. The lessons to be learned from this book are a sound contribution to the ongoing preparatory work. The examples selected for this volume resulted in nine thought-provoking case studies that display significant complementarity and various organizational models, which may prove inspirational and may even be partially replicated in other cities, in Portugal and further afield. The book provides a clear indication of how innovation agencies may act as drivers for change and underscores the important leadership role of local authorities. The concept of smarter city, rather than smart city, is an apt illustration of the idea of a continuous and enlarged conceptual and practical ambition, towards a redesigned future and a journey towards a more sustainable, inclusive and wiser city, and of a project that draws from science, technology, art and culture in order to transform our lives for the better.» Mário Campolargo Secretary of State for Digitalization and Administrative Modernization of Portugal, from the Preface

Skin In The Game - Hidden Asymmetries In Daily Life

de Nassim Nicholas Taleb

~~17,56€~~ 14,05€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 From the bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold book that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility. Why should we never listen to people who explain rather than do? Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work? The answer: too many people running the world don't have skin in the game. In his inimitable, pugnacious style, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans, political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game. Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most journalists don't. As Taleb says, "The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that's necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster," and "Never trust anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them".

Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things? - A Comedian's Guide To Autism

de Pierre Novellie

~~14,86€~~ 11,89€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 Comedian Pierre Novellie was on stage when a heckler suggested he was autistic. Usually, this disruption would be water off a duck's back but two things made this heckler different: first, he was himself autistic. Second, he turned out to be absolutely right. This random encounter led to a diagnosis of autism at the age of 31 that unraveled his world, explained his struggles and answered questions that had bothered him for his entire life: why were the other kids obsessed with Britney Spears instead of The Goon Show? Why don't people ever say what they mean? Why is everyone chewing so loudly? At once a hilarious and insightful journey through autism and neurodivergence, an entertaining explainer for the uninitiated and observational comedy for the neurodiverse, this is the perfect read for anyone who has ever asked themselves: why can't I just enjoy things?

The Cut Out Girl - A Story Of War And Family, Lost And Found

de Bart Van Es

~~13,51€~~ 10,81€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 Little Lien wasn't taken from her Jewish parents in the Hague - she was given away in the hope that she might be saved. Hidden and raised by a foster family in the provinces during the Nazi occupation, she survived the war only to find that her real parents had not. Much later, she fell out with her foster family, and Bart van Es - the grandson of Lien's foster parents - knew he needed to find out why. His account of tracing Lien and telling her story is a searing exploration of two lives and two families. It is a story about love and misunderstanding and about the ways that our most painful experiences - so crucial in defining us - can also be redefined.

The Diary Of A Young Girl - The Definitive Edition

de Anne Frank

~~13,51€~~ 10,81€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is an inspiring and tragic account of an ordinary life lived in extraordinary circumstances that has enthralled readers for generations. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Otto H. Frank and Mirjam Pressler, translated by Susan Massotty, and includes an introduction by Elie Wiesel, author of Night. 'June, 1942: I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.' In Amsterdam, in the summer of 1942, the Nazis forced teenager Anne Frank and her family into hiding. For over two years, they, another family and a German dentist lived in a secret annexe, fearing discovery. All that time, Anne kept a diary. Since its publication in 1947, Anne Frank's diary has been read by tens of millions of people. This Definitive Edition restores substantial material omitted from the original edition, giving us a deeper insight into Anne Frank's world. Her curiosity about her emerging sexuality, the conflicts with her mother, her passion for Peter, a boy whose family hid with hers, and her acute portraits of her fellow prisoners reveal Anne as more human, more vulnerable and more vital than ever. «One of the greatest books of the twentieth century» Guardian «A modern classic» Julia Neuberger, The Times
