A Vida é assim. Luminosa ou tenebrosa, de acordo com o tempo que passa indefinidamente. O mistério é grande, sem dúvida. A Vida…Certa ou errada, nos trilhos ou fora deles. Alguns dizem destino, outro

A informática está tornando-se um instrumento essencial dentro da Administração Pública. Até o ponto de que se pode falar de um novo agente público. A automação administrativa como fenômeno induzido

Os serviços cemiteriais e funerários foram declarados serviços públicos municipais pelo STF (ADI 1221, Plenário, Rel.: Min. Carlos Velloso, Julg.: 09/10/2003), tendo em vista o disposto no art. 30, inc. V, da Constituiço da Republica. Apesar dessa deciso, ainda ha questionamentos doutrinarios a respeito da constitucionalidade de leis municipais que lhes atribuem o carater de serviço publico, bem como quanto a forma de prestaço dos serviços que ainda so de titularidade estatal e se do mediante concesso ou permisso. O fundamento para que os serviços cemiteriais e funerarios sejam de competencia municipal relaciona-se a concepço de interesse local, pois e nesse ambito que se desenvolvem a confecço de caixes, a organizaço de velorios, o transporte de cadaveres e a administraço de cemiterios. Diante das divergencias ainda existentes e da escassa doutrina a respeito do tema, o Grupo de Pesquisa, Ensino e Extenso em Direito Administrativo Contemporaneo (GDAC) escolheu pesquisar, durante o ano de 2021, o tema que culminou na presente obra. Sendo assim, apresentam-se ao publico os artigos elaborados pelos membros do GDAC sobre serviços publicos cemiteriais e funerarios. Com este setimo livro, o GDAC mantem seu ideal de produzir pesquisas com elevado grau de ineditismo. Agradeço aos membros participantes desta obra e os parabenizo pelo belo resultado final.

The man in the corner pushed aside his glass, and leant across the table."Mysteries!" he commented. "There is no such thing as a mystery in connection with any crime, provided intelligence is brought to bear upon its investigation."Very much astonished Polly Burton looked over the top of her newspaper, and fixed a pair of very severe, coldly inquiring brown eyes upon him.She had disapproved of the man from the instant when he shuffled across the shop and sat down opposite to her, at the same marble-topped table which already held her large coffee (3d.), her roll and butter (2d.), and plate of tongue (6d.).Now this particular corner, this very same table, that special view of the magnificent marble hallknown as the Norfolk Street branch of the Aerated Bread Companys depotswere Pollys own corner, table, and view. Here she had partaken of eleven pennyworth of luncheon and one pennyworth of daily information ever since that glorious never-to-be-forgotten day when she was enrolled on the staff of the Evening Observer (well call it that, if you please), and became a member of that illustrious and world-famed organization known as the British Press.

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776, the book offers one of the worlds first collected descriptions of what builds nations wealth, and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets.The Wealth of Nations was published 9 March 1776, during the Scottish Enlightenment and the Scottish Agricultural Revolution. It influenced several authors and economists, such as Karl Marx, as well as governments and organisations, setting the terms for economic debate and discussion for the next century and a half. For example, Alexander Hamilton was influenced in part by The Wealth of Nations to write his Report on Manufactures, in which he argued against many of Smiths policies. Hamilton based much of this report on the ideas of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and it was, in part, Colberts ideas that Smith responded to..

Most marketers obsess over content quality while ignoring distribution mechanics. This book explores how that imbalance wastes budgets and reveals the patterns that separate content that spreads from content that dies in feeds.It examines the gap between creating valuable material and getting it in front of people who carethe platform algorithms, audience habits, and distribution systems that determine visibility more than creativity. Through strategic analysis of content lifecycle, channel selection, and engagement patterns, it reveals how successful marketers design for distribution rather than hoping great work finds its audience.The book reframes content marketing as a distribution-first discipline rather than a production exercise. It explores how to match content formats to platform behaviors, structure campaigns that compound over time instead of requiring constant creation, and build owned channels that reduce platform dependency. It examines the difference between marketers who generate sustainable attention versus those trapped in endless content treadmills.For marketing professionals managing content strategy, this book offers insight into the patterns beneath effective content distribution. Its not about going viral or posting dailyits about understanding how content actually reaches audiences in oversaturated digital environments.

"The Outcome Trap Why success is a terrible teacher of strategy" attacks the fundamental flaw in how we evaluate leadership and choices: Outcome Bias. We tend to judge a decision based solely on its result. If a CEO takes a reckless gamble and wins, he is a genius. If he loses, he is a fool. This book argues that the quality of a decision is independent of its outcome.Strategist Elena Sharp explains that in a probabilistic world, you can make a terrible decision and get lucky (dumb luck), or a perfect decision and lose (bad beat). Focusing only on results prevents learning because it reinforces bad habits that were rewarded by chance."The Outcome Trap" teaches readers to "result-proof" their analysis. It offers a framework for auditing the decision-making process itself, ensuring that you are betting with the odds, not just celebrating a lucky roll of the dice.

Colonial America was not built on empty land awaiting European civilization, but carved from territories with established communities, trade networks, and diplomatic systems that had existed for centuries. Every settlement negotiation masked coercion, every land deed concealed prior claims, and every boundary line represented erasure of Indigenous sovereignty.This book examines colonial development through the voices often excluded from founding narratives: Indigenous leaders navigating impossible choices between resistance and accommodation, enslaved Africans whose forced labor made plantation economies viable, indentured servants whose dreams of land ownership collided with elite consolidation of property, and women whose domestic labor sustained settlements while legal systems denied them autonomy. It traces how early cooperation deteriorated into systematic displacement, how disease and violence created demographic collapse, and how colonial legal frameworks legitimized theft through manufactured justifications.Drawing on treaty negotiations, court records, archaeological evidence from contact sites, oral histories preserved in tribal archives, and material culture revealing daily interactions, it explores how different European powers pursued distinct colonial strategies, how Indigenous nations formed alliances to resist encroachment, how enslaved communities built networks of survival and resistance, and how ecological transformation followed European agricultural practices. It examines how conflicts over land, resources, and sovereignty escalated into wars that devastated entire regions.This is a reckoning with how colonial institutionsplantations, missions, trading posts, military fortscreated structures of inequality that persisted long after independence.

"The Republic of Fruit How a banana company overthrew governments for profit" tells the terrifying story of the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita), the corporation that coined the term "Banana Republic." In the early 20th century, this company did not just trade fruit; it owned nations. It controlled the railroads, the mail, and the politicians of Central America.Historian Simon Bell focuses on Sam Zemurray, "The Banana Man," who once famously hired a mercenary army to overthrow the government of Honduras simply because they wanted to raise taxes on bananas. The book also covers the 1954 CIA coup in Guatemala, orchestrated by United Fruit to protect its land holdings from agrarian reform."The Republic of Fruit" is a micro-history of corporate power gone rogue. It reveals how the demand for a cheap yellow snack in American supermarkets led to decades of civil war, dictatorship, and poverty in Latin America.

The relationship with your mother is supposed to feel simplenurturing, safe, unconditionally loving. But for many, it holds layers of confusion, longing, resentment, and loyalty all at once. You can love her and still carry wounds from her. You can understand her struggles and still grieve the care you didnt receive.This book explores the mother wound not as blame, but as recognition of unmet needs that shaped how you relate to yourself and others. It examines emotional unavailability, conditional love, enmeshment, criticism disguised as care, and the silent expectation to be grateful for partial mothering. It looks at the guilt of acknowledging harm from someone who also gave you life, and the grief of accepting she couldnt be the mother you neededeven if she tried.Rather than prescribing forgiveness or estrangement, this book reframes healing as making space for contradictory truths. It explores reparenting yourself, breaking inherited patterns, the difference between understanding her pain and absorbing it, and the relief of letting go of the fantasy mother you kept waiting for.For anyone carrying the ache of a complicated maternal relationship, feeling disloyal for naming the hurt, or stuck between compassion and ragethis book offers permission to hold all of it, grieve honestly, and reclaim the nurturing you deserved all along.

"The Trip to Nowhere Why groups agree to do things that nobody wants" explores the "Abilene Paradox," a fascinating social phenomenon identified by management expert Jerry B. Harvey. The book starts with the classic anecdote: A family in Texas drives 50 miles in a blistering heatwave to eat at a terrible diner in Abilene. When they return, they realize that none of them wanted to go. Each person only agreed because they thought the others wanted to go.Author Ray Wells dissects the inability to manage agreement. Unlike conflict, where people disagree, the Abilene Paradox is about the mismanagement of agreement. It explains tragic corporate failures and family disasters where everyone nodded yes while secretly screaming no."The Trip to Nowhere" provides tools to break the cycle of false consensus. It teaches readers how to voice unpopular truths and ensure that the group is actually moving in a direction that at least one person desires.

You wake remembering fragmentsvivid scenes, strange logic, emotional intensity that lingers even after the details fade. Dreams feel mysterious, random, sometimes unsettling. But theyre not just mental noise. Theyre your brain sorting, integrating, processing the emotional and cognitive residue of waking life in ways conscious thought cant manage.This book explores REM sleep and dreaming as essential psychological maintenance, examining how the sleeping mind consolidates memory, regulates emotion, rehearses scenarios, and makes sense of unresolved experiences. It looks at the connection between dream content and emotional processing, why certain themes repeat, the role of nightmares in working through threat, and the cost of chronic sleep disruption on mental clarity and emotional resilience.Rather than prescribing dream interpretation or sleep optimization hacks, this book reframes rest as active psychological work. It explores memory consolidation, the science behind dream imagery, why REM deprivation impacts mood and cognition, and the intelligence of allowing your mind the space to process without conscious interference. It examines sleep quality, the difference between numbing and genuine restoration, and the relief of trusting the overnight integration your brain performs naturally.For anyone curious about the purpose behind their dreams, struggling with sleep disruption, or sensing their mind needs rest but not understanding whythis book offers insight into the hidden work of REM sleep, permission to prioritize recovery as necessity rather than luxury, and clarity about the psychological cost of chronic exhaustion.

"The Censored Beach How trying to hide a secret makes everyone see it" explains the "Streisand Effect," a phenomenon born in the internet age. In 2003, Barbra Streisand sued a photographer for $50 million to remove an aerial photo of her Malibu mansion from a collection of 12,000 scientific coastline images. Before the lawsuit, the photo had been downloaded only six times (twice by her lawyers). After the lawsuit made news, it was viewed 420,000 times in a month.Tech journalist David Vier explores how censorship attempts often backfire spectacularly. The book covers similar cases, from Beyonces unflattering Super Bowl photos to banned books that became bestsellers. It analyzes the psychology of forbidden fruit and the mechanics of viral outrage."The Censored Beach" is a rulebook for the digital reputation. It teaches that in a networked world, silence is often the best security, and fighting the internet is like fighting a hydracut off one head, and a thousand more appear.

You know you need boundaries. Youve read about them, thought about them, rehearsed them in your head. But in the actual moment, your words come out apologetic, indirect, or buried under justifications. You add "sorry" before stating a limit. You explain endlessly to make your boundary feel less harsh. You leave room for negotiation because saying it plainly feels too confrontational.This book explores the gap between knowing you deserve boundaries and finding language that holds them without collapsing under guilt or approval-seeking. It examines tone, directness, the urge to soften every statement, and the fear that clarity will make you sound cold or unkind. It looks at the difference between politeness and self-abandonment, the exhaustion of pre-emptively managing someone elses potential disappointment, and the relief of meaning exactly the words you choose.Rather than offering rigid scripts, this book reframes assertive communication as alignment between your inner truth and outer expression. It explores how to decline without justifying, how to repeat yourself without escalating, how to stay calm while someone pushes back, and how to recognize manipulation disguised as hurt feelings. It examines the courage to let your boundary stand, even in silence.For anyone who dilutes their needs to avoid conflict, feels guilty for being direct, or leaves conversations wondering why they agreed to something they didnt wantthis book offers language, clarity, and permission to communicate boundaries like they actually matter.

Os desafios decorrentes da relaço do Direito, em especial do Direito administrativo, com as novas tecnologias (inovaçes) disruptivas, motivaram o Grupo de Estudos de Direito Administrativo GDA a estudar o tema ao longo do ano de 2017.O GDA foi criado em 27 de março de 2014, unindo professores, pesquisadores, advogados, agentes publicos e estudantes, com o objetivo maior de discutir o Direito Administrativo, repensar suas bases e premissas e avaliar a forma como esta sendo aplicada essa area to importante do Direito.Assim, apos a consolidaço do grupo, em 2014, seu primeiro ano de existencia, o GDA, decidiu aprofundar a avaliaço de temas especificos.No decorrer do ano de 2015, o objeto da pesquisa consistiu no transporte aquaviario de passageiros, com foco na concesso vigente no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Os estudos realizados originaram o primeiro livro produzido pelo GDA, qual seja, Aspectos Juridicos do Transporte Aquaviario de Passageiros, lançado pela Editora Lumen Juris.No ano seguinte (2016), o tema escolhido foi o saneamento basico. A pesquisa realizada deu origem ao segundo livro do grupo intitulado Aspectos Juridicos do Saneamento Basico, tambem lançado pela Editora Lumen Juris.Em 2017, como dito, os estudos e pesquisas tiveram como foco o Direito administrativo e as novas tecnologias (inovaçes) disruptivas. Tivemos o prazer de, por meio da primeira ediço da presente obra coletiva, apresentar, em 2018, os resultados alcançados.Agora, em 2020, lançamos a segunda ediço do trabalho. O tema segue relevante e atual e a finalidade do livro e prosseguir contribuindo com os debates de assuntos que englobam a relaço do Direito Administrativo com as novas tecnologias e inovaçes disruptivas.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None (German: Also sprach Zarathustra: Ein Buch fur Alle und Keinen, also translated as Thus Spake Zarathustra) is a philosophical novel by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885 and published between 1883 and 1891. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the "Eternal Recurrence of the Same", the parable on the "Death of God", and the "Prophecy" of the Ubermensch, which were first introduced in The Gay Science.Described by Nietzsche himself as "The Deepest Ever Written", the book is a dense and esoteric treatise on philosophy and morality, featuring as protagonist a fictionalized Zarathustra. A central irony of the text is that the style of the Bible is used by Nietzsche to present ideas of his which fundamentally oppose Judaeo-Christian morality and tradition.Thus Spoke Zarathustra was conceived while Nietzsche was writing The Gay Science; he made a small note, reading "6,000 feet beyond man and time," as evidence of this. More specifically, this note related to the concept of the eternal recurrence, which is, by Nietzsches admission, the central idea of Zarathustra..
