More adults with young children are committed to integrative and holistic health, but the available information can be overwhelming and confusing. Through accessible, evidence-based guidance, Dr. Joel Warsh helps parents work through the health concerns and developmental changes that come up during the first three years of life and navigate the unique realities of parenting today. He addresses questions about holistic health frequently Googled by parents: What is placental encapsulation, and is it right for me? Should I try baby-led weaning? This book will empower parents to make informed and confident choices for the health of their children—from newborns to toddlers.
Computer technology has become an essential part of all our lives, and the legal profession is no exception. For more than 25 years, the annual JURIX conference has provided an international forum for academics and practitioners working at the cutting edge of research into and the application of the interface between law and computer technologies. This book presents the proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems (JURIX 2015), which took place in Braga, Portugal in December 2015. The book contains 14 full papers, nine short papers and nine posters delivered at the conference. These address a wide range of topics in legal informatics, and fall i...
