The influence of globalisation on musical composition has grown remarkably in recent years. This reflects the wider impact of late 20th Century demographic and technological shifts on culture. Great movements of people followed the end of the cold war, with migrants in their millions responding to the call of more affluent nations for willing workers.

The resultant photo book, "The Americans," represents a seminal moment in both photography and in America's understanding of itself. To mark the book s fiftieth anniversary, Jonathan Day revisits this pivotal work and contributes a thoughtful and revealing critical commentary. Though the importance of "The Americans" has been widely acknowledged, it still retains much of its mystery. This comprehensive...

People aspire to make the world a better place in many ways. Some decorate any ugly space that offends the eye, another might take up justice's flaming sword and sally forth to tilt at windmills. All good intentions come at a cost. Some are rewarded, others demand the ultimate price.

Beware tin cats offering invitations, psychopathic chemists with a turret full of collectable porcelain, priests pursuing satanic cults, and evil entities living in windmills.
