Sinossi

Odd Invention Origins explores the captivating stories behind accidental inventions and serendipitous discoveries, revealing how they've shaped our world. It delves into the history of technology, highlighting how chance encounters and unexpected breakthroughs, rather than solely planned research, often spark technological innovation. For instance, the book examines how the microwave and the properties of Teflon were discovered by accident.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of accidental invention, using examples like penicillin, and then dedicating chapters to specific areas, such as materials science and communication technologies. It emphasizes that understanding the role of serendipity can help foster environments more conducive to future innovation.

 
By examining the social consequences of these inventions, the book provides valuable lessons about the responsibilities that accompany technological advancement.

    Will we choose life for our children and the future of our planet? Everywhere we look, we see signs that all is not right with our earth: Extreme weather patterns wreak havoc. Pollutants sour soils and waterways. Fires and floods ravage land and communities. Climate change is just a symptom of a larger ecological crisis. If we want change, the solutions can’t come through the same systems that created those problems. ​ Ecological justice requires us to challenge our assumptions about creation and our relationship to it. It requires decolonization. We must turn to the leadership of Indigenous communities who struggle for all life as land and water protectors, and we must call on people of faith to join them—to confront climate change and resource extraction and choose life for our children and the future of our planet. This book offers hope for a better future alongside concrete actions for joining with Indigenous Peoples to protect life and negotiate with decision-makers for sustainable change that follows Jesus.

    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’.
