  DESCRIPTION 
  Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications.
  Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students. 
  
  The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book. 
  
  
  Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity-based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands-On, Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill, Supplement Pages and Glossary. 
  
  These features will ensure better learning, assessment, and evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom. 
  
  Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition. 
  
  We hope that the book contributes to the progressive development of computer aided education system and prepares our students for all upcoming challenges. We want the children to learn the concepts not only for the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find their applications. This will enable them to enrich the quality of their lives as well as others’.

  Take to the Trees - A Story of...

  Marguerite Holloway

  Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
   
   
   
  As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.

  A Protest Against Parkinson’s -...

  Parkinson’s disease (PD) is more than a medical condition, it is a rapidly growing global health crisis. Since 1990, the number of diagnosed cases has increased by about 118%, while deaths have risen by roughly 150%. By 2040, more than 20 million people worldwide are expected to be living with Parkinson’s. Despite these alarming trends, many patients feel that current treatments offer limited long-term hope. 
  In A Protest Against Parkinson’s, the author, himself living with Parkinson’s, offers a candid and deeply personal account of the disease. Drawing on both personal experience and extensive research, he describes the physical and psychological realities of Parkinson’s in a way rarely addressed in traditional medical texts. The book explores the frustrations surrounding levodopa, the long-standing “gold standard” treatment. While levodopa can provide significant short-term symptom relief, many patients experience diminishing benefits over time along with difficult side effects. 
  The book argues that the early success of levodopa may have unintentionally slowed the search for more fundamental solutions. For decades, research focused largely on improving dopamine replacement rather than finding ways to slow, stop, or reverse the disease itself. 
  Yet the book is not merely critical, it is also hopeful. The author examines emerging research and alternative approaches that may help slow the progression of Parkinson’s. These include exercise, carefully selected supplements, lifestyle changes, and strategies that may allow patients to delay or complement traditional medications. While these approaches are not cures, they may help some patients improve symptoms and extend quality of life. 
  Ultimately, the book is both a personal testimony and a call to action. It challenges common assumptions about Parkinson’s and encourages patients to remain proactive, informed, and hopeful while the search for a true cure continues.

  One woman's journey through South America - and the devastating story of our planet's disappearing biodiversity 
   
  Pedalling hard for thirteen months, eco adventurer Kate Rawles cycled the length of the Andes on an eccentric bicycle she built herself. The Life Cycle charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. 
   
  From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play. 
  'A gripping read for anyone who cares about what we're doing to the planet and how we can change it' DAVID SHUKMAN, FORMER BBC NEWS SCIENCE EDITOR 
   
  'Searing observations focused on our need to protect biodiversity - A tour de force' SIR TIM SMIT OBE, CO-FOUNDER OF THE EDEN PROJECT

  Machine See Machine Do - How...

  “When today’s technology relies on yesterday’s data, it will simply mirror our past mistakes and biases.” 
  AI and other high-tech tools embed and reinforce America’s history of prejudice and exclusion — even when they are used with the best intentions. Patrick K. Lin’s Machine See, Machine Do: How Technology Mirrors Bias in Our Criminal Justice System takes a deep and thorough look into the use of technology in the criminal justice system, and investigates the instances of coded bias present at every level. 
  In this book, you’ll learn how algorithms and high-tech tools are used in unexpected ways: suggesting which neighborhoods to police, predicting whether someone is more or less likely to commit a crime, and determining how long someone’s prison sentence should be. 
  Machine See, Machine Do takes you on an eye-opening journey of discovery, encouraging you to think twice about our current system of justice and the technology that supposedly makes it more “objective” and “fair.” If you are someone who cares deeply about criminal justice reform, is curious about the role of technology in our day-to-day lives, and ultimately believes we should aspire to make both of these spaces more ethical and safe, this book is for you.
