Urban planning is deeply implicated in both the planetary crisis of climate change and the personal crises of unhealthy lifestyles. Worldwide health issues such as obesity, mental illness, growing health inequalities and climate vulnerability cannot be solved solely by medicines but also by tackling the social, economic and environmental determinants. In a time when unhealthy and unsustainable conditions are being built into the physical fabric of cities, a new awareness and strategy is urgently needed to putting health and well-being at the heart of planning. The Routledge Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-being authoritatively and comprehensively integrates health into planning, strengthening the hands of those who argue and plan for healthy environments. With contributions from international leaders in the field, the Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-being provides context, philosophy, research, processes, and tools of experienced practitioners through case studies from four continents.

From the winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize, a stunning biography of one of the most flamboyant and enigmatic seventeenth-century Englishmen at the heart of political and royal life. George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628), was loved by three monarchs. King James I of England, whose bed-fellow he was, called him Steenie, after St Stephen whose face ‘was as the face of an angel’. James’s son, later King Charles I, equally enthralled by Buckingham’s glamour, made him his best friend and mentor. Anne of Austria, the Queen of France, confessed that ‘if an honest woman might love someone other than her husband’ then Buckingham would have been her choice. Many believed that he was her lover. Buckingham was a dazzling figure. On horse-back, or cutting capers, he displayed a figure whose grace not even his worst enemies could refuse to acknowledge. He was also a skilful player of the political game, who rapidly transformed the influence his beauty gave him into immense wealth and power. When he travelled to Paris to fetch home Charles’s bride, Queen Henrietta Maria, he wore a pearl-encrusted suit worth enough to pay and equip a sizable army. By the time he was thirty-three he had been first minister to two successive kings. He lived in dangerous and complicated times, an era where witch hunts coexisted with Descartian rationality. Buckingham stood at its centre both culturally and politically. To the House of Commons Buckingham was ‘the chief cause’ of all the ‘evils and mischiefs with which the country is afflicted’. When he was assassinated in 1628, at the age of thirty-six, King Charles said that he himself, and the monarchy he represented, had been ‘wounded through the Duke’s sides’. All of Lucy Hughes-Hallett’s books have explored the interface between actual events in the world of politics, war and international relations, and the operations of imagination and desire. Buckingham will, first and foremost, be a compelling story, but it is also story rich in significance, with deep resonance for today.

Jean Desmarets, later Sieur de Saint-Sorlin, was a late Renaissance `universal man': first Chancellor and founder-member of the Academie-francaise, last jester of the French royal court and star performer in ballets, novelist, playwright, poet, architect, inventor, and mystic. He was also the first man to publicize the notion of `a century of Louis XIV'. Hugh Gaston Hall's book examines that notion by looking afresh at Desmarets' vigorous career and relating the `century of Louis XIV' to its origins in the reign of Louis XIII. It questions historical misconceptions about Cardinal Richelieu's cultural policies and demonstrates the importance for the Court ballet of his patronage. Giovanni Bernini's illusionist sets and lighting effects for the Grand'Salle, which later became Moliere's theatre and the Opera, are discussed here in English for the first time. Desmarets' many high-level court offices, his family connections, and works - ballets, plays, poems, and religious and polemical pieces - reveal new and important links with contemporary institutions and preoccupations. In particular Dr Hall considers the plays in the light of exemplary eloquence, and considers the intentions of the Academie-francaise, and the Quarrel of the Imaginaires, in relation to royal policy and the Cartesian revolution.
