A Robot Squashed My Teacher is the laugh-out-loud, wacky adventure by Pooja Puri brilliantly illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, the sequel to the Marcus Rashford Book Club Selected book A Dinosaur Ate My Sister.
Before you start reading, there are a few things you should know:
1. I, Esha Verma, am a genius inventor extraordinaire.
2. I like lists.
3. I did not mean to turn my teacher into a pigeon. Some things just can't be helped.
Esha Verma, her snotty apprentice Broccoli and his secretly cunning pet tortoise have a dream. They are going to win the legendary Brain Trophy – the ultimate inventing prize. This year's entry: The RoarEasy – a gadget that lets the user speak to animals.
But when Esha's arch-nemesis, fellow inventor Ernie, lands her in detention, the RoarEasy malfunctions and suddenly Monsieur Crépeau is TRANSFORMED INTO A PIGEON.
Luckily for Esha, she knows exactly what she needs to repair her invention and where to find it: locked away in the mysterious Central Research Laboratories.
She, Broccoli, Archibald and Monsieur Crépeau will have to go undercover and break into the labs before the competition to return Monsieur Crépeau to his human form. And with Ernie following them, determined to foil their plans as they face giant robots, killer plants, shrinking machines, robo-spiders, clouds that make you float and terrifying twisters, they're going to need all the help they can get to get out of this wacky pickle.

Cyber security is a key focus in the modern world as more private
information is stored and saved online. In order to ensure vital
information is protected from various cyber threats, it is
essential to develop a thorough understanding of technologies that
can address cyber security challenges. Artificial intelligence has
been recognized as an important technology that can be employed
successfully in the cyber security sector. Due to this, further
study on the potential uses of artificial intelligence is required.
The Handbook of Research on Cyber Security Intelligence and
Analytics discusses critical artificial intelligence technologies
that are utilized in cyber security and considers various cyber
security issues and their optimal solutions supported by artificial
intelligence. Covering a range of topics such as malware, smart
grid, data breachers, and machine learning, this major reference
work is ideal for security analysts, cyber security specialists,
data analysts, security professionals, computer scientists,
government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians,
practitioners, instructors, and students.
Empirical and anecdotal data suggests that education technology
increases access to learning, democratizes knowledge, and increases
the breadth and richness of the learning experience. Due to this,
there is a need to disseminate awareness and information about the
role of emotional intelligence and technology from various
dimensions to help students and teachers maintain the quality of
e-learning and emotional well-being. Technology-Driven E-Learning
Pedagogy Through Emotional Intelligence provides updated research
perspectives focusing on the relationship between e-learning
pedagogy, technology, and emotional intelligence. Covering key
topics such as blended learning, resilience, social awareness, and
empathy, this reference work is ideal for administrators,
researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors,
and students.
The surge in technological transformation affects all business
model phases over many industries. Emerging technologies provide
new avenues for industries to increase their competitive advantage
and enhance economic progression. Blockchain technology's ability
to build an open and trustworthy network model seems to promote
shared IT-based networks in banking, insurance, and other similar
industries. The adoption of blockchain in the banking and insurance
industry is developing rapidly. Applications, Challenges, and
Opportunities of Blockchain Technology in Banking and Insurance
explores how blockchain technologies optimize and integrate the
transactions and operations in association with access to
information and reduction in communication costs and negligible
data transfer errors. It includes studies on various banking and
insurance industries intending to use blockchain technology to make
transactions convenient, simple, and safe. Covering topics such as
cryptocurrency, digital transformation, and small and medium-sized
enterprises, this premier reference source is an essential resource
for policymakers, government officials, students and educators of
higher education, libraries, banking managers, insurance
professionals, researchers, and academicians.
The book contributes to the growing literature pertaining to
empirical and policy issues in international trade, foreign capital
flows and issues in finance, implications for India and emerging
economies related to trade and development interface, and analysis
of sector level growth and development in India. Further, the focus
is on the policy aspects of these themes and their role in
fostering economic development in the context of India and other
emerging market economies. The discourse focuses mainly on
empirical work and econometric details. The relevant issues are
investigated using state of the art techniques such as gravity
models, panel co-integration, generalized hyperbolic distributions,
SEM, FMOLS and Probit models. In addition, detailed literature
survey, discussions on data availability, issues related to
statistical estimation techniques and a theoretical background,
ensure that each chapter significantly contributes to the
ever-growing literature on international trade and capital flows.
The readers shall find an engaging dialogue on the crucial role
played by policy and the trade-capital flows-growth experience of
emerging economies. The book is relevant for those who are
interested in contemporary issues in trade, growth and finance as
well as for students of advanced econometrics who may benefit from
the analytical and econometric exposition. The empirical evidences
provided here could serve as ready reference for academicians,
researchers and policy makers, particularly in emerging economies
facing similar challenges.
This book discusses the sensitivity, selectivity, and response
times of different sensor materials and their potential application
in the design of portable sensor systems for monitoring water
pollutants and remediation systems. Beginning with an overview on
water pollutants and analytical methods for their detection, the
book then moves on to describing the advances in sensor materials
research, and the scope for their use in different types of
sensors. The book lays emphasis on techniques such as colorimetric,
fluorescence, electrochemical, and biological sensing of
conventional and emerging pollutants. This book will serve as a
handy guide for students, researchers, and professional engineers
working in the field of sensor systems for monitoring water
pollutants to address various challenges.

This book showcases and compares grassroots environmental education
initiatives and actions in Millburn, New Jersey in the USA, and
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh in India. Across the two towns the
collective actions discussed include the Fridays For Future
strikes, activism through school’s ‘green team’, plastic
clean-up missions, conducting workshops, conferences, and
organizing green fairs. The authors discuss a range of concepts and
ideas that have a broader relevance to local and global
environmental education such as global citizenship, climate
activism, national and municipal policies, gender, and ecofeminism.
They show how the stories of the two towns are connected with
sustainable development goals and education for sustainable
development. Ultimately the book demonstrates how education can be
used as a tool to promote climate change solutions and how this can
benefit schools, communities and the planet.
