This work has so much of value I am loath to single out any particular elements. But the literature review is as comprehensive as I know, and his careful study of the still seemingly contested career of Sergeyev is much appreciated. 
 

If that wasn’t enough, his giant new volume on five Petipa ballets - co-authored with Marian Smith - comes out next month:
