Résumé:
The book includes a selection of the sketches that Lanfranco Bombelli drafted, first in Paris and later in Barcelona, for the graphics of the exhibitions in the American Trade Centers in Milan, Stockholm, Paris and Frankfurt, from 1963 to 1978, until they were closed, as a continuation of what the Marshall Plan had been. His artistry in geometrical compositions is based on a minimum of plastic means and inspired by mathematical principles. He depicts in this way new products of technological innovation in the fields of pharmaceutics, design industry or printing among others.

Résumé:
Beatriz Milhazes (born 1960) merges the bright chromatic exhilarations of her native Brazil with a conscious reappraisal of the history of abstract painting. Applying paint to canvas not with a brush but via the application of plastic sheets, Milhazes has developed a style that allows her to invest even the most traditional of painterly themes with a freshness and energy. This volume reproduces her treatment of the four seasons, inspired by the weather cycles of Rio, where winter registers as a change in mood rather than in temperature.

Résumé:
Jake Chapman focuses his malice on the calloused underbelly of literature itself. Fragile amateur novelist Christabel Ludd has a bad case of writer's block, and hires self proclaimed "professionals" to transform her novel into a page-turner: they do so, spinning the tale of Bao Xishun, who saves the lives of some dolphins by using his extremely long arms to fish pieces of plastic flotsam from their stomachs. Working this tale into ever more bizarre incarnations, they finally cause Christabel to despairingly resort to poetry in order to break her block.
