This book is written for anyone, anywhere sitting down to write a constitution. The book is designed to be educative for even those not engaged directly in constitutional design but who would like to come to a better understanding of the nature and problems of constitutionalism and its fundamental building blocks - especially popular sovereignty and the separation of powers. Rather than a 'how-to-do-it' book that explains what to do in the sense of where one should end up, it instead explains where to begin - how to go about thinking about constitutions and constitutional design before sitting down to write anything. Still, it is possible, using the detailed indexes found in the book, to determine the level of popular sovereignty one has designed into a proposed constitution and how to balance it with an approximate, appropriate level of separation of powers to enhance long-term stability.

Following the success of Conrad White’s previous book about Blakstad (Ibiza Blakstad Houses, December 2012 and revised May 2019, ISBN 978 849936 174 1), this new book collects the new and most recent creations of the architecture studio founded by Rolf Blakstad and developed later by his sons Rolf and Nial. This 336-page book shows, through some incredible photographs by Conrad White, some of the most representative houses that the Blakstad family has designed and constructed in the island of Ibiza. Rolph Blackstad exhaustively studied Ibizan architecture when it was still a living millennial tradition, with peasant builders working with rules passed down by word of mouth from father to son.The architect’s study of these builders formed the basis of his research, design and building for more than 40 years. This book is the latest tribute to Blackstad's work in the wake of his recent death.
