Lara has been learning how to grow a book since 2016, following a
degree in English and Italian at Oxford and teaching jobs in Italy
and Myanmar. From explaining how economics works, to inventing
boredom-busting activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she's
enjoyed every minute of the job.
Rose grew up in Northumberland, studied Physiology at Oxford and
looked after orphaned orangutans for a bit. She worked in the
charity sector for ten years, writing about issues from renewable
energy, to the safety of workers in Bangladesh. For Usborne, she's
written books about engineering, business, computers and the
environment.
An infectiously energetic book, with plenty to set the next James
Dyson on the right path.
