Skolan är i kris. Skolan levererar inte det som önskas. Elever uppnår inte kunskapskraven och lärare är undermåliga. Dessa är några exempel på återkommande teman i en ofta förenklad samtida skoldebatt. Behovet av en mer nyanserad diskussion om komplexiteten i skolans problem är högst nödvändig.I Perspektiv på skolans problem identifierar ett flertal forskare problem som de menar att skolan i dag står inför. Det handlar bland annat om problem som rör demokrati, rasism, språkplikt, skolvåld, betyg, ledarskap, skolmarknaden, juridifiering, distansundervisning, förskolan, vuxenutbildningen, folkhögskolan, och inte minst skoldebatten i sig. Boken ger perspektiv genom inspel från en rad initierade och etablerade forskare från olika discipliner verksamma inom det breda utbildningsvetenskapliga fältet. Med olika nedslag i utbildningslandskapet är ambitionen att stimulera till en skoldebatt som är förankrad i aktuell forskning om skola och utbildning. Perspektiv på skolans problem vänder sig till studerande inom lärarutbildningens olika inriktningar, verksamma inom utbildningsområdet samt andra som är intresserade av debatten om skolans problem.

”Ibland tänker jag att jag skulle vilja springa hela vägen genom Mattis barndom för att skydda honom från stormen som är på väg att dra in och lyfta upp honom och bära i väg honom och gömma honom för de förbannelser som tycks vila över vår familj. Lika ofta tänker jag att jag skulle passa på att döda honom då, även om det skulle betyda att ingen av oss någonsin skulle ha funnits. Inte jag, inte Eddie.”
På en bänk i Berzelii park sitter Nina Stjärne, förkrossad av sorg. Hon har förlorat sin lillasyster och nu rör sig tankarna tillbaka till evighetsstranden på Panic Beach, fylld av djurskelett och ensamma barnlekar. Där tillbringade de somrarna i skuggan av fadern Matti, som alltid väntat på döden.
I Berzelii park tar också familjen Stjärnes berättelse sin början, hundra år tidigare. Deras historia är som ett mörkt tidvatten som drar med sig drömmar och förhoppningar, barn och föräldrar, ut i djupet. Som en aldrig avstannande pil flyger frågan om förlåtelsen genom åren.
FARVÄL TILL PANIC BEACH är en storartad roman om skuld, sanning och hopp, om att säga farväl, till sist och för alltid.
”’Farväl till Panic Beach’ är smärtsamt vacker och en av Sara Stridsbergs starkaste romaner.”
Göteborgs-Posten
”Sara Stridsberg aldrig har varit skickligare som romanförfattare än hon är just nu.”
Svenska Dagbladet
”’Farväl till Panic Beach’ är vacker och oupphörligen fängslande. En av de bästa romaner jag läst i år.”
Sydsvenskan
”Det är en varm, genomskådande, djupt gripande och alldeles underbar roman med ett språk som vibrerar av känslor och liv.”
Falu Kuriren
”Romanen stryker under Sara Stridsbergs författarskap som ett av de viktigaste vi har, i sin kompromisslöshet och i sin enträgna vilja att se det mänskliga i allt det svåra som sker med människor; i deras fallande, i deras oförmåga, i deras eviga längtan efter kärlek.”

Stark kärlekshistoria med oanade konsekvenser.Helga drar sakta igen dörren till det hus hon bott i de senaste sju åren. Men innan hon lämnar huset för gott måste hon tillbaka till Hamilton Beach en sista gång. Hon vill ta farväl av den plats som hjälpt henne att överleva den överrumplande häftiga kärlek hon mötte i Paris åtta år tidigare. En kärlek som fick omvälvande konsekvenser i hennes liv. Ett älskat barn, ett lyckligt familjeliv i det lilla huset vid stranden och så en katastrof som slog sönder den nya idylliska tillvaron. Hamilton Beach visade sig bli en förlåtande plats utan krav. Hon har gått dit varje dag i nästan sju år. Men så mötte hon Wills, som hjälpte henne att fatta ett livsavgörande beslut.Hamilton Beach handlar om hur vi överlever eller inte överlever när det allra svåraste drabbar oss. Hur oförberedda vi är på våra egna reaktioner när katastrofen blir ett faktum, och hur lite vi känner dem som vi tror står oss allra närmast.

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They're polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

Fever Beach leads us, in pure Hiaasen-style, into the depths of Florida at its most Floridian: a sun-soaked bastion of right-wing extremism, white power, greed, and corruption.Dale Figgo is the only hate-monger ever to be kicked out of the Proud Boys for being too dumb and incompetent. Now his already messy life is about to get more complicated, thanks to two formidable adversaries.The first is Viva Morales, a clever woman recently taken to the cleaners by her ex-husband, now working at the supposedly philanthropic Mink Foundation and renting a room in Figgo's apartment; the second, Twilly Spree, a millionaire with an anger management problem, especially when it comes to those who deface the environment. Together, Viva and Twilly are plunged into a mystery involving dark money and darker motives, one they are determined to solve. Into this web come a cavalcade of outrageous characters, from corrupt politicians to white power idiots, all of whose fates are bound together via Figgo in a novel that is both a vicious state-of-the-nation satire and a hilarious thriller.From America's most acclaimed satirist and the author of the book that became the Apple+ hit Bad Monkey, Fever Beach is an unmissable skewering of American politics in all its ridiculousness.'One of the world's funniest novelists'SUNDAY TIMES'Scabrous and unrelentingly hilarious . . . the Trump era is truly Carl Hiaasen's moment'WASHINGTON POST'A comic genius' EVENING STANDARD'He has sky-high standards for elegance, craziness and mic-drop humor' NEW YORK TIMES'He always adds something extra to the mix . . . jauntiness, wit and larger-than-life characters' SUNDAY EXPRESS

Following on the heels of Martin Parr’s limited-edition, album-style presentation of Life’s a Beach, released last season, Aperture is delighted to introduce a new beach-bag-sized edition. Parr has been photographing beaches for many decades, documenting all aspects of them, including close-ups of sunbathers, rambunctious swimmers caught mid-plunge, and the eternal sandy picnic underway. His international career, in fact, could well be traced to the launch of The Last Resort, a 1986 book depicting the seaside resort of New Brighton, near Liverpool. What may be less known is that this obsession has led Parr to photograph beaches around the world. This compilation, his first on the topic, presents photos of beachgoers on far-flung shores, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Japan, the United States, Mexico, Thailand, and of course, the U.K. The compilation brings to the forefront Parr’s engagement with a cherished subject matter—that rare public space in which general absurdities and local quirks seamlessly fuse together. This book shows Parr at his best, startling us with moments of captured absurdity and immersing us in rituals and traditions associated with beach life the world over.

‘Particularly poignant ... tasteful and compassionate’ ShindigCapturing all the pain and glory of this incredible family saga, Surf’s Up is the definitive tribute to a remarkable band - and the genius who made it all possible.If any man in pop history deserved the tag of genius, it was Brian Wilson. As leader, producer and chief composer of the Beach Boys, he displayed an instinctive command of melody, harmony and arranging skills. The result was a run of hits that included many of the most sparkling and creative records of the 1960s.But there was a dark side to this seemingly effortless success, rooted in his tortured family background. No sooner had Brian masterminded such gems as the Pet Sounds album and Good Vibrations than his psychological demons began to derail his life.The Beach Boys were left struggling for survival, grasping for salvation from such bizarre figures as TM guru the Maharishi and cult leader Charles Manson. Their story could have ended there, but somehow the band survived. Ahead lay decades of trauma, triumph and tragedy, as the band members all developed as songwriters but also found themselves increasingly at odds with each other. Through it all the music survived, as Brian’s younger brother Dennis Wilson emerged as an equally creative but troubled presence.Surf’s Up sees lifelong Beach Boys fan Peter Doggett capture all the glory and pain of this complex family saga. He celebrates the band’s array of musical gems, and also explores many of their passionate obsessions , from surfing and cars to politics and food.Filled with drama and pathos, Surf’s Up is the ultimate tribute to a remarkable band - and the genius who made it all possible.

Martha Erskine, the matriarch of a local dynasty, suspects a member of her own family might be involved in the murder, and calls in Cal to investigate.Cal Sounder is a detective first and a Titan second, but it's not easy to make that work. It's hard to be an ordinary guy when you're fundamentally not ordinary anymore. Cal has recently taken a dose of T7, a rare drug that is usually the preserve of the rich, making its users - called the Titans - younger and bigger each time they take it, so that as they age the bodies of the ultra-wealthy become as immense as their bank accounts.As Cal digs into the crime, he finds this forgotten town is simmering with wage disputes, strikes, and political conflict, and no one is quite who they say they are - not even the victim. As Cal second-guesses everyone he meets, he is forced to confront his own identity and ask himself who he wants to be from the far side of the mirror of power, age and greed.Sleeper Beach is a hugely original, powerful and action-packed novel from the acclaimed novelist Nick Harkaway.'[An] extraordinary series' Rory Stewart on The Rest is Politics podcast'Like the best fictional PIs, Cal doesn't just care about catching criminals . . . another satisfying dose of science fictional noir' The Guardian, Books of the Month

Universitet AB : om kommodifiering, marknad och akademi

Traditionellt har högre utbildning och forskning ansetts vara kvalitativt annorlunda än renodlade kommersiella varor och tjänster. Precis som vi har svårt att föreställa oss en marknad för medborgerliga rättigheter eller nobelpris, så skulle många av oss inte tänka på högre utbildning och forskning som en marknad där efterfrågan är den styrande mekanismen. Att vinstintresse och konkurrensfördelar skulle få styra den akademiska verksamheten framstår närmast som blasfemiskt. Ändå är det just en sådan utveckling vi ser. Den här boken presenterar ett teoretiskt ramverk för att studera denna utveckling och undersöker vilka konsekvenser den har för olika delar av den akademiska verksamheten. I bokens inledande kapitel ramar redaktören Marcus Agnafors in de följande kapitlen genom att presentera begreppet kommodifiering. Sharon Rider och Alexandra Waluszewski diskuterar hur begreppen ”effektivitet” och ”innovation” kommer till uttryck inom högre utbildning och forskning och Johan Hyrén redogör för hur olika institutionella logiker påverkar den akademiska verksamheten. Petra Angervall och Dennis Beach undersöker vad kommodifieringen av akademins arbetskraft betyder för olika grupper. Den förlorande gruppen är, menar de, kvinnliga lektorer med undervisningstunga anställningar. Margareta Carlén och Goran Puaca ifrågasätter att en marknadsorienterad högre utbildning, där anställningsbarhet och arbetsgivarens kravbild står i centrum, faktiskt levererar det studenter själva letar efter och det som samhället behöver. Till slut undersöker Douglas Brommesson, Gissur Ó. Erlingsson, Johan Karlsson Schaffer och Jörgen Ödalen hur den pedagogiska meriteringen värderas och bedöms.

THE ISLES OF SCILLY MYSTERIES # 2 ‘Gripping, clever and impossible to put down' ERIN KELLYTHE ISLAND OF TRESCO HOLDS A DARK SECRET SOMEONE WILL KILL TO PROTECT.Ben Kitto has become the Scilly Isles’ Deputy Chief of Police. As the island’s lazy summer takes hold, he finds himself missing the excitement of the murder squad in London. But when the body of professional diver Jude Trellon is discovered, anchored to the rocks of a nearby cave, his investigative skills are once again needed. At first it appears that the young woman’s death was a tragic accident, but when evidence is found that suggests otherwise, the islanders close ranks. With even those closest to the victim refusing to talk, it seems that plenty of people might have had reason to harm her.

”Ibland tänker jag att jag skulle vilja springa hela vägen genom Mattis barndom för att skydda honom från stormen som är på väg att dra in och lyfta upp honom och bära i väg honom och gömma honom för de förbannelser som tycks vila över vår familj. Lika ofta tänker jag att jag skulle passa på att döda honom då, även om det skulle betyda att ingen av oss någonsin skulle ha funnits. Inte jag, inte Eddie.”
På en bänk i Berzelii park sitter Nina Stjärne, förkrossad av sorg. Hon har förlorat sin lillasyster och nu rör sig tankarna tillbaka till evighetsstranden på Panic Beach, fylld av djurskelett och ensamma barnlekar. Där tillbringade de somrarna i skuggan av fadern Matti, som alltid väntat på döden.
I Berzelii park tar också familjen Stjärnes berättelse sin början, hundra år tidigare. Deras historia är som ett mörkt tidvatten som drar med sig drömmar och förhoppningar, barn och föräldrar, ut i djupet. Som en aldrig avstannande pil flyger frågan om förlåtelsen genom åren.
FARVÄL TILL PANIC BEACH är en storartad roman om skuld, sanning och hopp, om att säga farväl, till sist och för alltid.
”’Farväl till Panic Beach’ är smärtsamt vacker och en av Sara Stridsbergs starkaste romaner.”
Göteborgs-Posten
”Sara Stridsberg aldrig har varit skickligare som romanförfattare än hon är just nu.”
Svenska Dagbladet
”’Farväl till Panic Beach’ är vacker och oupphörligen fängslande. En av de bästa romaner jag läst i år.”
Sydsvenskan
”Det är en varm, genomskådande, djupt gripande och alldeles underbar roman med ett språk som vibrerar av känslor och liv.”
Falu Kuriren
”Romanen stryker under Sara Stridsbergs författarskap som ett av de viktigaste vi har, i sin kompromisslöshet och i sin enträgna vilja att se det mänskliga i allt det svåra som sker med människor; i deras fallande, i deras oförmåga, i deras eviga längtan efter kärlek.”
