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

Richard Louv was the first to identify a phenomenon we all knew existed but couldn't quite articulate: nature-deficit disorder. His book Last Child in the Woods created a national conversation about the disconnection between children and nature, and his message has galvanized an international movement. Now, three years after its initial publication, we have reached a tipping point, with Leave No Child Inside initiatives adopted in at least 30 regions within 21 states, and in Canada, Holland, Australia, and Great Britain.

This new edition reflects the enormous changes that have taken place since the book—and this grassroots movement— were launched. It includes:
• 101 Things you can do to create change in your community, school, and family.
• Discussion points to inspire people of all ages to talk about the importance of nature in their lives.
• A new afterword by the author about the growing Leave No Child Inside movement.
• New and updated research confirming that direct exposure to nature is essential for the physical and emotional health of children and adults.

This is a book that will change the way you think about your future and the future of your children.

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.

More interesting than you might think. In the case of this reader, he's preaching to the choir, but there are lots of anecdotes and statistics to back him up. 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. 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.

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

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

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. The themes represented here are required reading.Nevada BookWorm
