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.

'A bracingly honest, galvanising and necessarily provocative look
at "self-care" through a political and feminist lens' Pandora Sykes
'This isn't just another self-help book. A clear-eyed look at the
way social systems drain our energy, and a concrete set of
principles to rely on as we declare independence from these
systems' Martha Beck 'A helpful and timely book that every woman
needs' Julia Samuel What does self-care really mean? From puppy
yoga to gua shas, we are promised pastel-coloured 'quick fixes' to
long-term social problems that cause burnout and stress. But the
truth is you can't meditate your way out of a 40-hour work week
with no childcare. So when these promises prove empty, we are made
to feel like failures within a system that is failing us. Now,
psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin offers a sustainable practice for
real self-care. Based on her clinical and personal experience, Dr
Lakshmin's revolutionary framework reimagines self-care as an
ongoing, internal process that involves making difficult decisions
in line with your values, putting boundaries in place, treating
yourself with compassion and asserting your power. Practising it
has the power to change your relationships, your workplace, and our
broken systems. Her work serves as a wake-up call, reminding us
that wellbeing is not a product to buy, but a way to be. It is time
to let go of the illusions of wellness and start practising real
self-care. Because the result - having ownership over your life -
is nothing less than a personal and social revolution.

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.
Digital Twin for Smart Manufacturing: Emerging Approaches and
Applications provides detailed descriptions on how to integrate and
optimize novel digital technologies for smart manufacturing. The
book discusses digital twins, which combine the industrial internet
of things, artificial intelligence, machine learning and software
analytics with spatial network graphs to create living digital
simulation models that update and change as their physical
counterparts change. In addition, they provide an effective way to
integrate technologies like cyber-physical systems into a smart
manufacturing system, potentially optimizing the entire business
process and operating procedure of the manufacturing firm. Drawing
on the latest research, the book addresses the topics and
technologies key to successful implementation of a smart
manufacturing system, including augmented and virtual reality, big
data and energy management. Broader subjects such as additive
manufacturing and robotics are also covered in this context,
covering every aspect of production.
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.
