Pojkar I Skolan - Vad Lärare Och Andra Vuxna Behöver Veta För Att Fler Pojkar Ska Lyckas I Skolan
Gruppen pojkar går ut grundskolan med ett meritvärde närmare 30 poäng under det för flickor. Vidare lämnar mer än var femte pojke skolan utan att ha gymnasiebehörighet. Siffror som sätter fingret på ett av svensk skolas största likvärdighetsproblem. Orsakerna till pojkars sämre skolresultat är flera och sammanflätade. T.ex. finns biologiska skillnader som missgynnar pojkar, skillnader som förstärks i det sociala samspelet. I boken beskrivs olika fenomen som bidrar till att pojkar presterar sämre än flickor. Utifrån dessa diskuteras hur lärare och andra vuxna kan bidra till att bryta den negativa trenden så att fler pojkar lyckas i skolan, vilket gynnar både pojkar och flickor, som boken också visar.

Ljus och strålning
Ljus och strålning rör sig kring en sjuk fars upplösning i världen. Den utspelar sig under en vår och en sommar, främst mellan fadern och hans son. Ingen av dem lyckas formulera sig inför döden och det meningsförfall som inträffar när en central del av ens liv ringas in, angrips och raderas. Aprils livsvilja och sjukdomens dödsvilja är delar av samma natur.
