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’.

Vaccine Nation - America’s...

Elena Conis

With employers offering free flu shots and pharmacies expanding into one-stop shops to prevent everything from shingles to tetanus, vaccines are ubiquitous in contemporary life. The past fifty years have witnessed an enormous upsurge in vaccines and immunization in the United States: American children now receive more vaccines than any previous generation, and laws requiring their immunization against a litany of diseases are standard. Yet, while vaccination rates have soared and cases of preventable infections have plummeted, an increasingly vocal cross section of Americans have questioned the safety and necessity of vaccines. In Vaccine Nation, Elena Conis explores this complicated history and its consequences for personal and public health. 
Vaccine Nation opens in the 1960s, when government scientists—triumphant following successes combating polio and smallpox—considered how the country might deploy new vaccines against what they called the “milder” diseases, including measles, mumps, and rubella. In the years that followed, Conis reveals, vaccines fundamentally changed how medical professionals, policy administrators, and ordinary Americans came to perceive the diseases they were designed to prevent. She brings this history up to the present with an insightful look at the past decade’s controversy over the implementation of the Gardasil vaccine for HPV, which sparked extensive debate because of its focus on adolescent girls and young women. Through this and other examples, Conis demonstrates how the acceptance of vaccines and vaccination policies has been as contingent on political and social concerns as on scientific findings. 
By setting the complex story of American vaccination within the country’s broader history, Vaccine Nation goes beyond the simple story of the triumph of science over disease and provides a new and perceptive account of the role of politics and social forces in medicine.

Augmented Reality and Virtual...

Craig Dames

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have transformed the way we interact with digital environments, offering immersive experiences that blend the real and virtual worlds. While both technologies enhance perception, they do so in fundamentally different ways. AR overlays digital elements onto the real world, enriching reality with interactive, computer-generated enhancements. VR, on the other hand, creates fully immersive digital environments, transporting users into a completely virtual space where physical surroundings disappear.
The evolution of AR and VR has been a fascinating journey, driven by advancements in computing power, graphics rendering, and sensor technology. Early experiments in virtual reality can be traced back to the 1960s, with devices like the Sensorama and the first head-mounted displays. However, it wasn’t until the 2010s that VR technology became widely accessible, thanks to companies like Oculus, HTC, and Sony. AR’s development followed a different trajectory, gaining mainstream attention with mobile applications like Pokémon GO and smart glasses designed for enterprise use.
One of the key distinctions between AR and VR is their method of user interaction. AR enhances real-world experiences without replacing them, allowing users to see both physical and digital elements simultaneously. This has led to widespread adoption in fields such as retail, education, and healthcare. VR, in contrast, immerses users in entirely synthetic environments, making it ideal for gaming, training simulations, and remote collaboration. The level of immersion is influenced by factors such as display resolution, field of view, motion tracking, and haptic feedback, all of which contribute to a sense of presence within a virtual space.
