Through the winter of 2002/3, as Britain & the United States prepare for war with Iraq, one man above all others is doing his utmost to avoid conflict. Step forward Captain Harry Flashman, a staff officer with the Queens Royal Hussars & distant descendant of legendary Victorian scoundrel General Sir Harry Flashman, VC. The passing generations have done nothing to fortify his moral fibre. Flashmans journey begins with a posting to Plymouth, home of the Royal Marines, in time to join the impending Gulf deployment. Despite his protestations he is shipped to Kuwait to begin a relatively secure job with Brigade Headquarters. But his plans for a cosy war spent safely behind a desk are rudely interrupted by an enforced move to a front-line unit. After bust-ups with the Americans & a foiled attempt to avoid the invasion altogether, Flashman finds himself in the one place he has tried so hard to avoid: the very vanguard of the assault. Landing by helicopter with the Royal Marines, he is soon footslogging through the mud & fighting for his life as the men of 42 Commando seize their objectives on the Al Faw Peninsula. Based on the experiences of the author, Harry Flashman & the Invasion of Iraq is a historically accurate account of events in the Gulf during spring 2003

Born in Antwerp in 1941, Harry Gruyaert was one of the first European photographers to explore the creative potential of colour in the 1970s & 1980s. This book brings together his best work, including images from his renowned 1972 series TV Shots & the later Made in Belgium, in one beautifully produced volume. Influenced by such American photographers as Saul Leiter, Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore & William Eggleston, as well as by cinema, Gruyaert's work defined new territory for colour photography: an emotive, non-narrative & boldly graphic way of perceiving the world. His photographs are autonomous & self-sufficient, often independent from any context or thematic logic. A member of Magnum Photos since 1982, he has embraced the possibilities of digital photography in his most recent work, feeling that it allows him to take more risks & capture new kinds of light. ...

A new collection from the award-winning Magnum photographer. A master of colour-saturated images, Harry Gruyaert has roamed the world searching for the perfect light for more than forty years. His very intuitive & physical sense of place immerses the spectator in a world that borrows simultaneously from the cinematic universe & from that of the painter. Dissolving the boundaries between the exterior & interior, Between Worlds offers just such a sensory immersion. No matter the setting, the country or the era, Gruyaert deploys a luminous alchemy suspended in time. Where are we? It doesn't matter: in Gruyaert's world, the pleasure of getting lost reigns. ...

The `edges' that Harry Gruyaert, a pre-eminent member of the Magnum photo agency, explores in this incredibly lush, full-colour book, are the oceans, seas & rivers where humans meet the edge & the water begins. This unusual volume, which opens from the top up, takes the reader to Israel's Dead Sea, the Mali River in Niger, the North Sea of Icel&, South Korea & Biarritz, as Gruyaert's sensitive photos record the subtle chromatic vibrations of the edges of the Orient & the Occident. Gruyaert opposes the hustle of the city with a pared-down, yet intense, nature. His landscapes are never empty; they are inhabited places where light, colour, objects, people & situations weave a serene, sublime tableau. This beautifully produced photographic manifesto reveals the profoundly poetic character of Gruyaert's work, & the sensual elegance of his faultless compositions. ...

For more than thirty years, Harry Gruyaert has been recording the subtle chromatic vibrations of Eastern & Western light. His photographs attest to his singular vision: his interest in story, public space & unexpected scenes. This book brings together 125 of Gruyaert's photographs of India, many published here for the first time. From Gujarat to Kerala, Gruyaert captured the quintessence of this multifaceted country. Streets bustling with activity in New Delhi or Calcutta; modest villages in Tamil Nadu or Rajasthan; ghats of the great religious city of Benares; women in saffron & violet saris beating grain, dyers busy at smoky vats, an encampment of nomadic shepherds at twilight... Gruyaert's India is saturated with colour, light & noise
- & sometimes silence too. These images move beyond stereotype to present the plurality of India. ' Taking a photo means both seeking contact & refusing it, being at once the most & the least present, ' says the photographer. It is a question of teasing out wonder, of capturing what characterizes places. The search for density within the frame makes photography a physical experience
- one that is particularly well represented here, in this multi-sensorial journey through India. With 130 illustrations
