What choices should we make for Brazil today? Imagine yourself in a debate room with the five authors of this book: Francisco Gaetani, Extraordinary Secretary for State Transformation; Izabella Teixeira, former Minister of the Environment and global authority on climate change; Marcello Brito, executive and Coordinator of the Global Agro-Environmental Center at Foundação Dom Cabral; Roberto S. Waack, business executive and advisor; and Samela Sateré Mawé, indigenous communicator and activist. Provocative, this book offers wide-ranging reflections on Brazil's future, addressing economic, political, environmental and social issues in the current global context. The topics discussed are such as environmental and climate imbalances, political tensions and global uncertainties, the need to modernize the Brazilian State, strategic agendas involving food production, valuing biodiversity with social inclusion and the role of indigenous peoples. Throughout the word, dialogue between different fields is presented as an essential element for strengthening democracy. The authors sign the book collectively, indicating that working together is possible and necessary. Connecting different perspectives also implies seeking a balance between rationality and sensitivity. In this sense, Josias Marinho Casadecaba's delicate artwork dialogues with the book, inviting the reader to explore between the lines a restless and incomplete vision of the future. The foreword, signed by political scientist Mônica Sodré, contextualizes the moment of this book's arrival in history and reinforces its invitation to the questions and choices that will need to be made if we want other realities.

The popularization of the Internet, due in larger part to the advent of multifunctional cell phones, poses new challenges for health professionals, patients, and caregivers as well as creates new possibilities for all of us. This comprehensive volume analyzes how this social phenomenon is transforming long-established healthcare practices and perceptions in a country with one of the highest numbers of Internet users: Brazil. After an opening text that analyzes the Internet and E-Health Care as a field of study, the book comprises six parts. The first part introduces the emergence and development of the internet in Brazil, its pioneering experience in internet governance, digital inclusion, and online citizen participation. The second part is dedicated to internet health audiences by analyzing the cases of patients, the young, and the elderly seeking and sharing health information online, especially in virtual communities. The third part is dedicated to the challenges that the expansion of the internet in healthcare poses to all of us, such as the evaluation of the quality of health information available online and the prevention of the risks involved with online sales, cyberbullying, and consumption of prescription medicines. The fourth presents some innovative e-learning experiences carried out with different groups in Brazil, while the fifth part analyses some practical applications involving the Internet and health, including studies on M-Health, the Internet of things, serious games and the use of new information and communication technologies in health promotion. The last chapter analyses the future of healthcare in the Internet Age. The authors establish a critical and creative debate with international scholarship on the subject. This book is written in a direct and comprehensible way for professionals, researchers, students of communication and health, as well as for stakeholders and others interested in better understanding the trends and the different challenges related to the social phenomenon of the internet in health.

Bringing together some of the world’s leading scholars, practitioners, and human-rights activists, this groundbreaking volume provides the first systematic analysis of the 2012–2014 Brazilian National Truth Commission. While attentive to the inquiry’s local and national dimensions, it offers an illuminating transnational perspective that considers the Commission’s Latin American regional context and relates it to global efforts for human rights accountability, contributing to a more general and critical reassessment of truth commissions from a variety of viewpoints.
