The comment thread is lovely too, with readers asking for pediatric nutrition recommendations and others chiming in with course suggestions. If you ever want a different kind of break after working through a heavy reading list, fifthchair is worth a browse. Thanks for curating this, it’s the sort of library page people come back to more than once.
My main focus when comparing gaming platforms is usually how comfortable they remain after several minutes of browsing. With Diu Win, I checked different sections instead of stopping after the opening page. The layout was simple enough to understand, and the navigation did not make me repeatedly search for the same options. Karan mentioned that this matters quite a bit when using a smartphone because a crowded interface can become tiring quickly. The overall structure made it reasonably easy to continue exploring without feeling lost between pages.
Hi Sarah,
Not sure if this will hit your radar as I’m certain you’re inundated with comments and emails daily but if it does, I’m wondering if you can recommend a good book for pediatric nutrition. I’m already reading Nourishing Traditions (baby version) for the pediatric nutrition course in my Holistic Nutrition program but I’m looking for another perspective, something that supports more of a plant based approach. Many thanks in advance.
Hi Nissrine – this is a very late to your comment, but I found this booking recently (I think it’s coming out soon?) and it might be interesting – http://www.chelseagreen.com/whats-making-our-children-sick
Hi Nissrine,
I’d love to know what Holistic Nutrition course you’re taking! Pediatric Nutrition is of great interest to me and I haven’t come across any courses in my search that have a pediatric component.
Thanks!
Liza
