"Boken tar avstamp i skolans vardag och lyfter rektorn som Sveriges viktigaste chef – en ledare som påverkar framtiden långt efter sitt eget yrkesliv."- Boosta Förlag -

Malla Taipale, rektorn som blev känd för att vända problemskolor, höll själv på att bli reglerad från skolan på grund av en teckning. Hon tror att upplevelserna under hennes skoltid varit en starkt bidragande orsak till hennes yrkesval.Boken handlar om ledarskap i grundskolan, om hur en rektor får alla att spela på samma planhalva. Om det går att vända en eller flera skolor, så går det att vända alla. Det kräver dock mod, kunskap, kärlek och ett tydligt ledarskap. Boken fungerar som stöd för nya och befintliga rektorer, samt som ett inlägg i skoldebatten – rekommenderad läsning för alla inom utbildningssektorn.I boken beskriver Malla de skolor hon arbetat i, de utmaningar hon mött och hur hon har hanterat svåra frågor under sina nästan två decennier som rektor. Hon berättar om de tunga åren med brandkårsutryckningar, vapenbeslag, personliga hot och beslutet att stänga skolan under en dag – något som då väckte stor medial uppmärksamhet – men också hur det idoga arbetet fick både elever och lärare att sluta upp bakom henne för att bryta skolans negativa spiral. Malla tar med sig läsaren i genom de flesta momenten i en rektors vardag. Hon beskriver hur hon "läser av" en ny skola, hur man som rektor får alla lärare att spela på samma planhalva och hur man tar sig helskinnad igenom rektorsuppdraget. Boken är en guide för rektorer men handlar i grund och botten om vikten av modigt ledarskap, något hon efterlyser från politikernas sida när det kommer till skolan.Mallas berättarstil är som hennes person – tydlig, modig, personlig och lösningsinriktad. Anekdoter blandas med handfasta råd, frågeställningar åtföljs av ställningstaganden. Genom hela boken löper ett genuint intresse för elevers rätt till en bra utbildning.Ivar Martinssons karakteristiska illustrationer tillför texten ytterligare en dimension som både roar och inspirerar.

Varje dag kliver 1,1 miljoner elever in i skolans värld. Vem bestämmer vilken skola ditt barn ska gå på? Du som förälder förväntas välja skola, men vad ska du grunda det beslutet på? Hur vet man om en skola är bra? Boken reder ut begreppen och ger dig tips på frågor du kan ställa till skolorna. Författaren Malla Taipale var verksam som rektor under två decennier. ”Med den här boken vill jag stötta vårdnadshavare i skolvalsprocessen och samtidigt lyfta det faktum att det är vårdnadshavarens ansvar att se till att barnet är undervisningsbart.” Malla Taipale har tidigare gett ut boken Rektor, Sveriges viktigaste chef (2018). Som rektor var hon omtalad för sin förmåga att vända problemskolor. Mallas berättarstil är som hennes person – tydlig, modig, personlig och lösningsinriktad. Anekdoter blandas med handfasta råd och frågeställningar åtföljs av ställningstaganden. Genom hela boken löper ett genuint intresse för elevers rätt till en bra utbildning och vad vårdnadshavare kan göra för att hjälpa sitt barn att få det. Precis som Malla Taipales förra bok, är denna illustrerad av Ivar Martinsson.

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) offer higher durability and better performance than steel in strengthening and repairing existing structures, as externally bonded systems and as internal reinforcement for concrete elements, and can increase the life cycle of concrete elements. Nevertheless, FRP reinforced/strengthened concrete (FRP-RSC) elements need to be inspected regularly for effective maintenance and to ensure safety.This book addresses the absence of inspection guide and procedures. It reviews serviceability considerations along with specification and standards for design and installation. It identifies potential damage and anomalies attributed to FRP-RSC elements, and evaluates inspection methods. It proposes solutions for improving the detectability of FRP defects such as non-destructive testing methods. It offers a guide for in-service inspection of FRP-RSC elements, condition rating tables, examples, and guidance for load rating.

When an Afrikaans police captain is murdered in a small South African country town, Detective Emmanuel Cooper must navigate his way through the labyrinthine racial and social divisions that split the community. And as the National Party introduces the laws to support the system of apartheid, Emmanuel struggles – much like Martin Cruz Smith’s Arkady Renko – to remain a good man in the face of astonishing power.In a considered but very commercial novel, Malla Nunn combines a compelling plot with a thoughtful and complex portrayal of a fascinating period of history, illustrating the human desires that drive us all, regardless of race, colour or creed.A Beautiful Place To Die is the first of a planned series of novels featuring Detective Emmanuel Cooper.‘A terrific page-turning debut. Clever and multi-layered in its portrayal of the people and landscape of apartheid South Africa. I loved it’ Minette Walters‘Remarkable’ Literary Review'A first crime novel of considerable power ' Sydney Morning Herald
