Mike Davis

    10. marec 1946 – 25. október 2022

    Mike Davis sa preslávil svojimi analýzami moci a sociálnej triedy, najmä vo svojom rodnom Južnom Kalifornii. Jeho diela sa hlboko ponárajú do zložitých vzťahov medzi urbanistickým rozvojom, ekonomickými silami a spoločenskými dopadmi. Davis je známy svojím radikálnym pohľadom a odhodlaním odhaliť skryté mocenské štruktúry ovplyvňujúce životy ľudí. Jeho rozsiahle komentáre o spoločenských problémoch ponúkajú kritický pohľad na súčasné výzvy.

      "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
