Last Child in the Woods

Last Child in the Woods 

by Richard Louv

Save your children now from nature-deficit disorder by reading this book. In this groundbreaking work about the staggering divide between children and the outdoors, Louv directly links the absence of nature in the lives of today's wired generation to some of the most disturbing childhood trends. This is the first book to bring together a 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.
