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.

The mid-19th and early 20th centuries heralded new means of transport and equipment and, with them, new and original ways of exploring the world. Transatlantic liners, automobiles, long-haul airplanes, zeppelins, and express trains unfurled new horizons and changed travel itself into an adventure. Distant lands were no longer solely accessible to aristocrats, explorers, and adventurers. Instead, the world opened up to new groups of people eager to circumvent the globe. And for many of these new globetrotters, traveling was synonymous with Louis Vuitton, the French label whose iconic and functional luggage trunks could be found on nearly every boat, plane, car, and train around the world. In this beautiful book, author Francisca Mattéoli recounts 50 tales of thrilling travel undertaken in every possible mode of transit, from the hot air balloon to the space shuttle, each lavishly illustrated with more than 300 historical photographs and ephemera from Louis Vuitton’s official archives. Louis Vuitton: Extraordinary Voyages is a journey all its own—an evocative and transporting account of the most surprising and transformative trips taken since the 19th century.

Throughout history, tabletop decoration has been at the nexus of utilitarian function and innovative design. In At the Artisan’s Table, designers and event producers Jane Schulak and David Stark pair historical table wares from the world’s finest design museums with pieces by an international array of contemporary artisans who reinterpret traditional crafts and styles, including Aptware (marbled clay), blue-and-white Delft, chinoiserie, faux bois, plaster, splatterware, and trompe l’oeil. Each chapter features a museum object that serves as a muse; the work and studio of the artist who has updated the traditional craft; and gorgeous table settings designed by Schulak and Stark that incorporate the artist’s handmade wares and provide inspiration for everyone who has ever wished to wow their dinner guests.

A new tower stands out against the city skyline: the Unipol Tower designed by Mario Cucinella Architects, an internationally renowned architecture studio based in Milan and Bologna. The Unipol Tower is a 124-meter elliptical tower in the Porta Nuova area, in the heart of the city. Made from glass and steel, it has a glasshouse on the rooftop serving as a cultural venue.

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.
