The Black Box of Governance
In the world of corporate governance, the board of directors is often viewed as the "black box" of companies: only the board members who are seated at the meeting table understand how this "decision-making machine" works. In this book, a board member with over 25 years’ experience pulls off the lid and shows both how boards have worked and how they could work. This book is grounded in extensive research in three different surveys: one with more than 100 Brazilian directors, another with 340 board members from 40 countries, and a final one with 103 Brazilian directors serving on 238 boards.

Tibi and Quequé and their adventures in the grown-up world
Tibi and Quequé are Natalia’s imaginary friends since she was little. They are always hanging out with her, watching her grow up. And that is exactly what this book is all about: their adventures together, entertaining and teaching about the day by day of any child. Guilherme Jotapê Rodrigues’ beautiful illustrations are for colouring and they make the book even more fascinating. Daniela Manole wrote the book together with her daughter Natalia – the main character is named after her. Inspired by memories of the girl’s childhood – Natalia is a teenager now! –, mother and daughter dive deep into their imagination and create the magic world of Tibi and Quequé. The prologue was written by Fabio Ancona Lopez, paediatrician, vice-president of the Brazilian Society of Paediatrics, and Natalia’s doctor since she was a little girl. Target audience: children from 2 to 10 years old.

Theater of War and Exile
In what ways does political trauma influence the art arising from it? Is there an aesthetic of war and exile in theatrical works that emerge from such experiences? Are there cultural markers defining such works from areas like Eastern Europe and Israel? This book considers these questions in an examination of plays, performances and theater artists that speak from a place of political violence and displacement. The author's critical inquiry covers a variety of theatrical experimentations, including Brechtian distancing, black humor, pastiche, surreal and hyper-real imagery, reversed chronologies and disrupted narratives. Drawing on postmodern theories and performance studies as well as interviews and personal statements from the artists discussed, this study explores the transformative power of the theater arts and their function as catalysts for social change, healing and remembrance.
Demyelination Disorders
Demyelination disorders are among the most frequent neurological conditions. Types of these disorders include multiple sclerosis, Guillain Barré syndrome, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, entrapment neuropathies, and others, all of which can result in serious physical incapacity and diminished quality of life. This book examines various aspects of demyelination from clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic points of view. Chapters address different types of demyelination diseases, their associated mechanisms, and pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment approaches, among other topics.
