Bearden (1911–1988) was a prominent African American artist often described as the consummate jazz painter, known for his innovative collages that explored themes of Black American culture, history, and personal experiences. This publication reexamines Bearden’s life and work in the context of jazz, tracing the musician’s impact from the artists’ earliest oil paintings to his iconic collages. In 1981, Bearden created nineteen collages that the artist called his “Paris Blues,” or simply “Jazz,” series. Conceived as pages for an oversized book that would be a response to the Hollywood movie Paris Blues (1961)—though featuring Harlem and New Orleans along with Paris—the series has been little known until now. Here the wildly colorful illustrations are set alongside Bearden’s encounters with iconic jazz musicians, clubs, and cities. Examined for the first time in depth, the Paris Blues series makes a major statement on the relationships between visual art, jazz music, and urban spaces. The book also includes poignant photographs of Bearden and musicians in the 1950s–70s, such as Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.

No eres tú. Es tu biología: Cómo la ciencia nos manipula para consumir más a cuesta de nuestra salud. ¿Por qué no podemos dejar de comer alimentos insanos ni de hacer scroll con el móvil? El biomédico danés Nicklas Brendborg nos revela los mecanismos biológicos que manipulan, entre otros, los fabricantes de alimentos y los gigantes tecnológicos para que consumamos más. La industria alimentaria utiliza a un ejército de investigadores con el fin de conseguir que siempre comamos un poco más. Y los gigantes tecnológicos emplean a un número aún mayor de personas cuyo trabajo consiste en dificultar al máximo que guardemos el móvil. Pero no es culpa nuestra que nos cueste abandonar los malos hábitos cuando nuestro entorno trata de impedírnoslo. En esta batalla, las armas son los escáneres cerebrales, los laboratorios de alta tecnología y los últimos descubrimientos que desvelan secretos de la biología humana. Con estadísticas asombrosas y fascinantes ejemplos del mundo animal, Brendborg desvela los superestímulos y demuestra los oscuros secretos que se esconden destrás de nuestro modo de vida moderno.
