Loads of books and articles have been written about feeding dogs, and yet myths and misconceptions about how to feed dogs abound. Perhaps the most pernicious is that it's beyond the ability of the average person to do it well. I hear this concern often from dog owners who'd like to be making their dog's food but are too afraid to even try, for fear of getting it wrong. Let me relieve you of that notion right now. Feeding dogs well is not rocket science. If it were, then dogs would have died out long ago. You don't need a degree in nutrition to feed yourself and your family well. The same is true about feeding your dog. You simply need to understand the basics, a few essential principles, and go from there. Given how much information is available already, I thought what might be most useful is for me to tell you how I fed my own dog, Miss Lilly.

It is important for educators to understand the social context of children, particularly those living in poverty, so they can best meet the needs of the whole child. However, educators cannot be expected to possess all of the knowledge necessary to meet the needs of the whole child. This study explores the use of interprofessional education as a means by which educators could gain an understanding of the whole child and collaborate with other professionals to meet those needs. Interprofessional education has been widely used in Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy to teach increased communication and collaboration skills. Using a mixed methods approach, graduate students at the Schools of Education and Public Health at Johns Hopkins University participated in an interprofessional workshop to determine its feasibility with those outside the health professions. The results demonstrate the viability of using interprofessional education with graduate students in education and public health. Results also indicate interprofessional education could be used as a method of training for those working with high need students to encourage increased communication and collaboration.

Anna and Finn McAllister are a sole parent family living in Castlemaine. After moving constantly for years, they finally find somewhere permanent. It makes a huge difference to their life; stress goes down, they get a pet, they finally get the chance to establish a home. It's lucky they've found somewhere to stay long-term because, shortly after moving into 58 Green Street, Anna has a car accident which gives her epilepsy. Their whole life changes as they struggle to adjust to the new situation. After years of doctors, hospitals and brain surgery, Anna finally regains control of her health: just in time to deal with her son's adolescent phase. Filled with love, humour and honesty, 58 Green Street describes the trials, tribulations and joys of sole-parenthood. A fictional story based on real-life experiences, Christine King lifts the veil of stigma attached to sole-parenthood and emphasises the importance of permanence and security.

Our ability to notice things and make observations using precise language is one of the foundations needed for the development of critical reasoning skills and abstract thinking.This book helps build the observation skills needed to critically observe and describe what we see.

One veterinarian's reverie on caring for our animals (and ourselves)."This book is as much a series of 'Notes to Self' as it is a guide for anyone else. I forget or ignore these little gems and need to remind myself of them almost daily. In fact, that may be our biggest struggle as modern humans: to get over our clever, sophisticated selves and act simply as nature designed us, as an interwoven and inseparable part of all life. That might just be my most important Note to Self."

Lameness, one of the most common and most troublesome of all equine ailments, remains the primary reason why horses are unable to fulfill their potential and their riders' and trainers' expectations. More preparation time is lost, more competitions are missed, and more careers are prematurely ended because of lameness than any other condition. This book analyzes the causes, diagnoses, and management of the myriad causes of lameness: --Defining and identifying the lame leg; spotting gait abnormalities and non-muscular causes; physical examinations and evaluations; diagnostic tools and other tests; the role of the veterinarian and farrier in pre-purchase examinations. --Physical therapies; the applicability of rest, medications, and other veterinary procedures. --Hoof conformation and shoeing options. --Joint, bone, muscle, and tendon and ligament problems. --Neurological, dermatological, and developmental orthopedic causes of lameness. --Treatment of specific conditions to the foot, pastern and fetlock, cannon and splint bones, knee, upper foreleg, hock, upper hind leg, and back. No other book covers this vital subject in such a comprehensive and understandable fashion. For that reason, no other book deserves a more prominent place on the shelf of anyone who owns, trains, rides, or drives horses.
