In De tweede helft Ad de Visser tells the story of the visual arts of the last fifty years, the second half of the twentieth century. Without avoiding the proverbial complexity of the material, he manages to make the array of movements and individual artists clear and knows to keep his story alive avoiding art-historical clichés and not averse to personal preference and critical commentary.

Simon Sadler searches for the Situationist City among the detritus of tracts, manifestos, and works of art that the SI left behind. The book is divided into three parts. The first, "The Naked City," outlines the Situationist critique of the urban environment as it then existed. The second, "Formulary for a New Urbanism," examines Situationist principles for the city and for city living. The third, "A New Babylon," describes actual designs proposed for a Situationist City. Constant's work appears on page 5, 31, 114, 124, 125, 127, 128, 131, 137, 139, 140, 141, 142, 144, 150, 154,
