This book is an up-to-date review of the basic elements directly connected to the evolution of galaxies. Owing to recent advances in observational astronomy and astrophysics, data has recently become available about remote galaxies, which are consequently in the first stages of their evolution. It is therefore essential to link these data to the observation of very old populations in our own Galaxy, which are the remnants of the populations which existed in the first stages of galactic evolution. In this meeting, the relationship between these two different points of view is emphasized in the texts presented by well-known specialists as well as by young researchers active in the field. The difficulties of the problem and the remaining uncertainties are discussed.
Piano Music for Four Hands is a novel about music and love set against three generations of French history. At its center is a charming but melancholy pianist named Michel Mailhoc. Having survived a series of bungled love affairs and professional disappointments, he retreats to his family house in the Pyrenees. The bright spot in his life is his grandniece Emma, who becomes his prizewinning student. Struggling with his fervent desire for her success and the fear of losing her, Michel sends Emma into the world of international musical stardom that he has renounced for himself. The Mailhoc family saga, stretching from World War I to the turbulent 1960s, is full of sorrow, but the underlying melody remains tender and humorous. From the first sentence we feel curiously at home in Roger Grenier's intimate, precise, and musical writing.

Jack Mawgan is about to fulfill his ambition to become a qualified paramedic when an incident involving a young Muslim found naked on a Cornish road in broad daylight draws him into the sinister world of 'Extraordinary Rendition'. This campaign was run by the US security services and involved their operatives in torture in their search for information about Al Qaeda's activities. Jack's involvement sets off a chain of events that leads him to the depths of the African interior in pursuit of a self-proclaimed jihadist fomenting rebellion and heavily involved in the drugs trade.

" J'abordais l'affaire Seunière avec des yeux neufs. J'avais ses archives à ma disposition. Je vivais dans sa maison et ma position me plaçait à l'intersection d'une foule d'informations. En face de moi, un public parfois goguenard souvent incrédule, mais toujours curieux. Chaque jour était un nouveau défi, chaque heure de visite une nouvelle mise en scène. Je savais que j'avais conquis mon public lorsqu'on me demandait à chaque fin de visite guidée si je n'avais pas écrit un livre sur le sujet. " Ce livre, le voici enfin : décapant, malicieux, plein de tendresse pour un prêtre hors du commun, fourmillant de détails et de documents. L'auteur nous mène pas à pas dans le sillage d'un Béranger Saunière intime qui nous dévoile ses secrets, jusqu'au moment où notre guide se retourne pour nous déclarer : " A partir de ce moment, je suis obligé de vous lâchez la main... " Laissons la parole à Henry Lincoln, le préfacier : " Tous les autres auteurs, dont moi-même, n'avons saisi qu'une ombre de ce qu'était la vraie vie de Béranger Saunière. Jean-Luc, lui, l'a ressenti. Il l'a vécu. C'est pourquoi ce livre a enfin quelque chose de plus à offrir. "
