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

In this influential work about the staggering divide between children and the outdoors, child advocacy expert Richard Louv directly links the lack of nature in the lives of today’s wired generation—he calls it nature-deficit—to some of the most disturbing childhood trends, such as the rises in obesity, attention disorders, and depression.

Last Child in the Woods is the first book to bring together a new and growing body of research indicating that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional health of children and adults. More than just raising an alarm, Louv offers practical solutions and simple ways to heal the broken bond—and they are right in our own backyard.

What Customers Say About Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder:

I very much enjoyed reading this book and have bought five additional copies for friends and family, in addition to recommending it to a number of others. This book should be required reading for anyone studying to become an educator.

In the case of this reader, he's preaching to the choir, but there are lots of anecdotes and statistics to back him up. As an example of how nature-phobic we have become, everyone who saw this book in my hand read the title, "LOST Child in the Woods." Read and weep and work for change. More interesting than you might think. Children need contact with nature to calm their minds, exercise their bodies, stimulate their creativity, but our society has come to thwart those possibilities at every turn.

Book came in timely fashion and good condition as promised. Would order from sender again.

Every parent and teacher should read it. This is one of the best books I have read. Take the kids outside, then read it while you're out there.Mimi the Inchworm

The themes represented here are required reading.Nevada BookWorm The obvious revelations here are too powerful to ignore. Last Child in the Woods" is one of those life changing books. The root of this book is two themes, "technology is not the answer, it is the problem", and "being out in nature is restorative to our soles". Any parent raising a child in the modern world needs to read this one book.
