STANLEY GREENE PHOTO POCHE
Les analystes les plus fins de la chose photographique, qu'ils commentent un livre ou une exposition, insistent volontiers sur le fait qu'une nouvelle ère s'ouvre à la photographie. Celle du concept. Quand ils ne l'expriment pas clairement, ils sous-entendent que la photographie de reportage est démodée et qu'une installation faite avec trois pavés et deux bouts de ficelle vaut tous les constats d'une actualité qui reste pourtant galopante. Stanley Greene est de ceux qui prouvent à l'évidence que les préceptes de la concerned photography n'ont rien perdu de leur acuité. Compagnon de route des ONG et des grandes organisations humanitaires ou caritatives, Stanley Greene considère son travail de photoreporter comme une mission. La chronique qu'il a consacrée, dix années durant, au martyre du peuple tchétchène, le situe parmi les grands témoins de son temps. Il mêle à un sidérant mépris du danger une profonde compassion pour ces civils et ces soldats qui brûlent au feu d'une tragique actualité. 64 photographies reproduites en duotone et en couleurs notices biographique et bibliographique.

Handel and Maurice Greene's Circle at the Apollo Academy
The Apollo Academy, a musical club founded in 1731 by Maurice Greene and his friend Michael Christian Festing, was the performance location of various oratorios, odes and masques produced by composers in Greene's circle of friends, colleagues and pupils. Many of the works performed both in and outside the academy meetings are based on subjects such as Jephtha, Deborah and the choice of Hercules which were well known in eighteenth-century England and also attracted the attention of Handel. This long-overdue study explores these works in terms of their intellectual contexts (political, religious, social and cultural), comparing them to Handel's compositions on the same or similar subjects. Additionally, detailed source information and musical analysis of the works is included as well as a discussion of the competition between Handel and his English contemporaries in order to provide a fuller picture of the diverse musical and cultural life in London during the first half of the eighteenth century.

Two Highways
Imagine a man clipping away up the smooth highway of his life; until, that is, a beautiful redhead makes him turn off into a side road full of potholes and other unpleasant surprises. Well, my dear friends, this tale is about a hard-boiled detective who walks right into such a situation. While investigating an unusual death, our good man meets a strange woman. She seems to know him while he has no recollection of her. The lady pierces her way into the most sensitive parts of his heart and then vanishes without a trace. Our detective checks her background but finds only that a young coed with the same name had disappeared many years ago. As he follows her trail, he runs into the business end of a slimy government conspiracy. His adventures take him within inches of death on more than one occasion and into... I won't give anything away by revealing that in the world he finds himself the "game" has new rules. He navigates this parallel universe by the proverbial seat of his pants until...
