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. Synopsis: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.
