Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder

In his landmark work Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv brought together cutting-edge studies that pointed to direct exposure to nature as essential for a child's healthy physical and emotional development.  Now this new edition updates the growing body of evidence linking the lack of nature in children's lives and the rise of obesity, attention disorders, and depression.  Louv's message has galvanized an international back-to-nature campaign. His book will change the way you think about our future and the future of our children.  New edition includes a field guide with 100 practical actions we can take. [Algonquin Books]
