In Power in the Balance: Presidents, Parties, and Legislatures in Peru and Beyond, Barry S. Levitt answers urgent questions about executive power in "new" democracies. He examines in rich detail the case of Peru, from President Alan García's first term (1985–1990), to the erosion of democracy under President Alberto Fujimori (1990–2000), through the interim government of Valentín Paniagua (2000–2001) and the remarkable, if rocky, renewal of democracy culminating in Alejandro Toledo's 2001–2006 presidency. This turbulent experience with democracy brings into clear focus the functioning of formal political institutions—constitutions and electoral laws, presidents and legislatures, political parties and leaders—while also exposing the informal side of Peru's national politics over the course of two decades. Levitt's study of politics in Peru also provides a test case for his regional analysis of cross-national differences and change over time in presidential power across eighteen Latin American countries. In Peru and throughout Latin America, Levitt shows, the rule of law itself and the organizational forms of political parties have a stronger impact on legislative-executive relations than do most of the institutional traits and constitutional powers that configure the formal "rules of the game" for high politics. His findings, and their implications for improving the quality of new democracies everywhere, will surprise promoters, practitioners, and scholars of democratic politics alike.

Barry is a 13-year-old boy who gets no respect from his classmates and is abused by his promiscuous mother's live-in boyfriend. It doesn't help that Barry's physical attributes above the neck are fodder for ridicule, and his timid demeanor makes him the perfect target. Everything changes, however, when Barry has a little accident that causes brain damage, allowing him to read others' thoughts and eventually control their minds. With Barry's new ability and his having reached the tolerance point, vengeance becomes the new norm.

Updated resource guiding readers through the analysis and choices required to ensure a building will perform as expected Robin Barry's Construction of Buildings was first published in 1958 as a five-volume set and rapidly became a standard work on the subject. Following Barry's death in 2002, a two-volume format was adopted with new authors. Developed from an earlier book by Tony Bryan, this new third volume, Barry's Construction Technology, extends the coverage to show how decisions about the design, production, maintenance and disposal of buildings may be thought through given the materials and technology available. The book challenges the reader to think about the consequences of making choices and decisions rather than relying on using what has been used before. Barry's Construction Technology Analysis and Choice includes information on: The climate emergency and the low carbon agenda as a fundamental part of construction technology analysis and choiceRegenerative design, net zero buildings, and the circular economy for the built environmentConstraints that location, legislation, codes and standards, sustainability, insurance, and commercial pressures apply to the performance of buildingsSpecific construction technology examples, with emphasis on questioning what we do and why, with the aim of informing and stimulating the reader to ask questions when confronted with all design and construction projects Barry's Construction Technology Analysis and Choice is an essential, practical, and up-to-date reference on the subject for undergraduate students of all building construction programmes including surveying, construction management, architectural technology, and architecture.
