Inspirado em Cervantes, mas também em Olievenstein, Di Loreto, Paulo Freire, dentre outros, o Projeto Quixote usa a arte e a estética como valor para destruir-se e reconstruir-se diariamente como uma caixa ludica, em que crianças e adolescentes em extrema vulnerabilidade emocional, psiquica, afetiva, economica e social, dentre os aspectos mais evidentes passam a ser ouvidos, cuidados, acolhidos, para, assim, projetarem-se como sujeitos na vidae na sociedade. O Projeto Quixote vem transformando a vida de crianças e adolescentes em grave situaço de vulnerabilidade na cidade de So Paulo ha mais de vinte anos. Foram mais de 250 mil atendimentos e incontaveis aprendizados, que se traduzem numa metodologia consistente e criativa, compartilhada com o mundo num intensivo trabalho de formaço e pesquisa, por meio de seminarios, palestras, cursos, oficinas e publicaçes como esta.O caminho e longo, cheio de aventuras e perigos, reais e imaginarios, e esses quixotinhos urbanos, em sua maioria vindos de experiencias recentes de privaçes e violencia, precisam de boa companhia e acolhimento verdadeiro para restabelecer a confiança e sonhar novamente.A escuta sensivel de educadores e clinicos e o sentido de coletivo proporcionam ao publico do Quixote atendimento de referencia em saude mental, e um estar no mundo diferente, em que o popular enredo do abandono da infancia, em todos os sentidos, e apenas um pesadelo bizarro das sociedades desiguais.Nesta outra historia, no ha herois nem cavaleiros, muito menos super-herois ou deuses mas seres humanos capazes de imenso amor e profissionalismo para lançar-se ao mundo em busca de justiça.

Neste livro investiga-se entidades assistenciais que atendem a crianças e a adolescentes no contexto das políticas públicas de Assistência Social. Há um grande número desses estabelecimentos assisten

El Catatumbo, ubicado en el nororiente colombiano en la frontera con Venezuela, es una región palimpsesto de conflictos sin fin. Es un potente sistema natural y ambiental que atrae esperanzas, pero expulsa desventuras humanas, al ser un escenario permanente de guerra que propicia el desplazamiento forzado de su poblacion. Este ensayo academico es una apuesta de orden biopolitico que coloca en el centro de sus preocupaciones las relaciones de poder de la vida misma. Comprende el territorio no como un espacio geografico, sino como construccion espaciotemporal de vida compleja, interrelacionada con la vida humana hipercompleja. Se considera asi que la firma del acuerdo de paz con las FARC (2016) y los procesos educativos prospectados en ese sentido, son condicion sine qua non para garantizar la constitucion del Catatumbo en una territorialidad de vida autentica.

The Metropolitan Police of the mid-twentieth century, in particular The Flying Squad and Obscene Publications Squad, has been described as the most routinely corrupt organisation in London. Larger-than-life characters such as Ken Drury and Alfred Wicked Bill Moody routinely fraternised with underworld figures, paid off witnesses and struck dodgy deals to get their man regardless of whether he was innocent or guilty. And the problem went far beyond a couple of bent coppers: in the end, fifty officers were prosecuted, while 478 took early retirement.Using Metropolitan Police files obtained under Freedom of Information, which have not been accessed since the 1970s, author Neil Root can finally tell the real story of how the Met became systemically corrupt, and how Sir Robert Mark, who became commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in 1972, finally cleaned it up.
