Malcolm Rose

    Autor sa predtým venoval výučbe a výskumu v oblasti analytickej chémie, kde sa zameriaval na zdravie a organickú chémiu. Táto práca obnášala predovšetkým písanie a znamenala málo času na písanie beletrie, ktorej sa venoval po polnoci. Teraz je spisovateľom na plný úväzok a nevidí rozpor medzi vedou a písaním románov. V oboch odboroch je potrebná kreativita, vytrvalosť a schopnosť konštruovať vety. Autor prirovnáva chemický výskum k miešaniu chemikálií a pozorovaniu reakcií, zatiaľ čo písanie románov k miešaniu postáv a konfliktov s cieľom pozorovania výsledku. Písanie pre neho začalo ako únik z každodennej reality počas doktorandského štúdia chémie a po radách manželky začal usilovať o publikáciu.

      "Boli sme v opus... veď viete... rozprávali sme sa o Juddovi a o chlapíkovi, ktorý ho sledoval. Ja som stála pri dverách, vlastne za nimi, keď sa odrazu otvorili. Všetci sme stuhli. Bol to on..." z prepisu vyšetrovania podozrivej Amandy Telefonát, zvuky krokov, úder a zvuk tela, ktoré dopadlo na dlážku. Skupina vydesených tínedžerov v panike uteká z miesta činu. Na druhý deň, v skorých ranných hodinách policajt objaví telo a rozbieha sa vyšetrovanie. Nemožno strácať čas – staň sa detektívom a zatkni vraha, ešte kým sú stopy horúce. Zbieraj dôkazy, poskladaj z nich obraz zločinu a odhaľ pravdu. Iba ty dokážeš chytiť vraha!

    • "When the Light Goes On helps us dig through the discord and fragmentation of school politics and policy to reclaim the mind and heart of education. Through various students' stories and his own, Rose provides an urgent reminder of the core purpose of education: to learn about ourselves and the world around us, to spark new interests, and to experience with guidance both the fulfillment and the uncertainty of exploring our limits-all in the service of creating a meaningful life"-- Provided by publisher

      When the Light Goes On
    • Bionic agent Jordan Stryker returns with a new mission, new foe and even greater danger. Age: 11+ When planes start falling from the sky with no warning and even less explanation, Unit Red has no option but to send out their top recruit - Jordan Stryker, cybernetically-enhanced secret agent - to uncover the truth. In a race against time, Stryker is drawn deep into the hidden world of the Dark Web - the digital catacombs of websites long since abandoned, replaced by newer, better technologies, and unreachable by any search engine. Using these hidden channels, a criminal mastermind is wreaking havoc in the skies using electromagnetic bombs that burn out circuits and render any electronic device unusable, including those in Stryker's implants. Jordan is going to need every ounce of cunning to track down this deadly foe in a mission where his cyber-enhancements are less of an advantage and more of a liability. Age: 11+

      Featuring a new preface for the 10th anniversaryAs did the national bestseller Nickel and Dimed , Mike Rose’s revelatory book demolishes the long-held notion that people who work with their hands make up a less intelligent class. He shows us waitresses making lightning-fast calculations, carpenters handling complex spatial mathematics, and hairdressers, plumbers, and electricians with their aesthetic and diagnostic acumen.  Rose, an educator who is himself the son of a waitress, explores the intellectual repertory of everyday workers and the terrible social cost of undervaluing the work they do. Deftly combining research, interviews, and personal history, this is one of those rare books that has the capacity both to shape public policy and to illuminate general readers.
