• Sommario/riassunto: De VUB is de enige Nederlandstalige universiteit met een campus die naam waardig: een universiteitsterrein met aula's, leslokalen, laboratoria en woningen voor studenten. Deze omgeving zorgt voor een unieke sfeer. Deels wordt deze sfeer mee bepaald door de bijzondere en gevarieerde architectuur van de campussites. Met het boek 'Campusarchitectuur sinds 1970', het eerste deel uit de reeks 'Bouwen aan de Vrije Universiteit Brussel', wordt een overzicht gegeven van de verschillende architecturale stijlen die de sites Etterbeek en Jette markeren. Architecten zoals Renaat Braem, Willy Van Der Meeren, Baro, Conix, Cnops, e.a. gaven er vorm aan. Deze uitgave mag als een ijkpunt beschouwd worden, met een eigenzinnige kijk op het verleden en een blik op de toekomst van het gebouwenpatrimonium van de VUB. Het is een blijvende herinnering voor al wie in deze gebouwen vertoeft en vertoefd heeft en een must voor iedereen die Brussel en architectuur genegen is.

• Sommario/riassunto: Elizabeth Popham is an associate professor in the Department of English Literature at Trent University --Book Jacket.; The content of Klein's letters gives new resonance to his works, most notably to his critically acclaimed novel The Second Scroll (1951) and his Governor General Award-winning The Rocking Chair and Other Poems (1948). In his exchanges with publishers and scholars, Klein glosses his own writing and argues for the integrity of his poetic vision. Samplings of his correspondence with Seagram's Distilleries clarify Klein's controversial role as ghost-writer and PR consultant for Sam Bronfman. A valuable resource for understanding Canadian literary modernism, diasporic Judaism, and the culture of Montreal, A.M. Klein: The Letters is a remarkable portrait of an important Canadian literary figure of the twentieth century.; In the final volume of the Collected Works of A.M. Klein, Elizabeth Popham completes the process of restoring the public voice of one of Canada's most respected authors. A.M. Klein: The Letters is the first ; compilation of a significant body of Klein's correspondence. Using his communications to construct a compelling narrative, Popham traces Klein's career from his apprenticeship to great critical success and his tragically premature silence.

• Sommario/riassunto: Following 82 years of British rule, Cyprus emerged in 1960 as an independent state endowed with a written Constitution, detailed to the extent of making provision for nearly every aspect of government. Two ; distinct features of the Constitution are a) the incorporation of a comprehensive charter of human rights backed up by a duty cast on every authority of the State to ensure its efficient application and b) the strict separation between the three powers of the State. Another notable aspect of it is the introduction of judicial review of administrative action rendering justiciable every act, decision or omission of every organ, body or person exercising administrative or executive authority. The diversity of the sources of constitutional order, its detailed provisions about nearly every aspect of government convey a distinct complexion to the Constitution of the country. This book covers its application in the turbulent history of the island, which provides a singular if not a unique example of the sustenance of constitutional order in extreme circumstances; constitutionalism in full swing.
