The circus is an almost universal experience of childhood, which in adulthood is both a warm past memory and a thrill to experience with our own children. The Golden Age of the Circus looks back on the storied past of the circus, including histories of the many famous troops which have toured the world, discussions of the basics of all circuses -- clowns, wild animals, trapeze acts -- as well as biographies of the greatest of circus personalities. It is a charming, highly illustrated look at a perpetual institution in humanity, luring locals to come and visit and small children to dream of following them away. -- Biographies of top performers, promoters, and troops from around the world -- Rare archive and paraphernalia photos -- Circus posters from around the world

Between 2015 and 2020, the city centre of Brussels witnessed the creation of its first major pedestrian zone, one of the largest urban projects in recent decades. Has the Brussels city centre finally done away with the car hegemony? Can the city centre be extended to become the centre of the Brussels metropolis where everyone can find his or her own place? This book presents scientific background to the issue and brings together in words and images the research carried out over the past four years by the Brussels Centre Observatory.
