Enhancing Urban Safety and Security addresses three major threats to the safety and security of cities: crime and violence; insecurity of tenure and forced evictions; and natural and human-made disasters. It analyses worldwide trends with respect to each of these threats; paying particular attention to their underlying causes and impacts; as well as to the good policies and best practices that have been adopted at the city; national and international levels in order to address these threats. The report adopts a human security perspective; concerned with the safety and security of people rather than of states; and highlights issues that can be addressed through appropriate urban policy; planning; design and governance.

Essential greatnessBy Marc HaefeleThese myriad little works; some as scant as a few bars of intense harmonies; few longer than a page; belong in every keyboard players collection. Some of them you can rattle off with a quick read; others are so gnarly you can work on them for the rest of your life. With great personal rewards.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Fairly nice edtion of Bachs chorales for piano or organ.By R. TobiasThis is Vol 1 of 2 on the Bach Chorales; containing Nos. 1-198. It has much to recommend it. The plastic comb binding makes for ease of use. The horizontal formatting works well. The chorales are fairly easy to read; with larger; more spacious formatting than in some editions; but still a bit smaller than I would prefer. Noteheads are dark; and the printing is fairly; but not extremely clear. The German title of each chorale is placed with the piece; with an index in the front. The paperstock is of good quality and is a very light almost grayish white that is easy on the eyes. I am using these for sight reading practice at the recommendation of a music educator; and I am finding them quite challenging but doable at the intermediate level. Plus I am getting quite a solid musical education in voicing; harmonizing; etc. from one of the greatest of masters as I go. There may be a better edition of these somewhere; but I looked at quite a few; and this was the nicest one that I could find. If anyone knows of a better edition; one with clearer printing and a larger format; eg; I would appreciate it if you would let me know in a comment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy thomascantorThe spiral binding is a great feature for music that is otherwise public domain and available online.
