White canvas, boldly colored fabrics in solids, stripes, and jaunty prints, rattan and cane seating, whitewashed or colorfully painted English case furniture, canopied beds, straw matting—these are some of the signature ingredients of an Amanda Lindroth interior. Since she founded her Nassau-based firm in 2010, she has become the go-to designer of island dwellers from Lyford Cay to Antigua, Abaco to Belize, Harbour Island to Palm Beach, and as far north as Great Cranberry Island, Maine. Her airy, relaxed, indoor-outdoor aesthetic is apparent in every one of the twenty-five projects featured here. With photographs by Tria Giovan, herself an island native, and charming illustrations by Aldous Bertram, who decorated Lindroth’s pied-à-terre in Palm Beach with stunning trompe l’oeil renderings, Island Hopping: Amanda Lindroth Design is the visual equivalent of an island getaway.

Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs by Eric Piasecki and featuring an introduction by longtime editor in chief of House & Garden Dominique Browning, Katie Ridder: More Rooms provides endless inspiration for design aficionados.

Comprender, comprender enteramente su propio corazón»: este podría ser el lema de las heroínas de Jane Austen, que lo aprenden en un intenso proceso condicionado por las circunstancias sociales y por los equívocos derivados de la noción de amor romántico. Casi todas ellas se equivocan, pero por primera vez en la historia de la literatura la equivocación -que da pie a tanto a situaciones cómicas como dramáticas- se ve como un derecho, hasta ahora reservado a los hombres, en el curso del aprendizaje de la vida. Con Jane Austen las jóvenes tienen, también por primera vez, el derecho a una segunda oportunidad.

Este libro analiza la crisis de los fundamentos del derecho penal expresada en la profunda falta de correspondencia que existe entre el sistema normativo de las garantías y el funcionamiento efectivo de las instituciones punitivas. Hace un recorrido teórico por las raíces del modelo garantista recogido por la tradición ilustrada, así como por la oposición que contra dicho modelo han ejercido desde finales del siglo XIX la continua emergencia de arquetipos penales premodernos y la interminable tentación de autoritarismo. Ilustra las múltiples formas de ilegitimidad e injusticia provocadas por la inadecuación del modelo o por las lesiones contra las garantías individuales. Frente a la crisis del modelo, propone una reformulación y política en el marco de una teoría general del garantismo.
