No Child Left Inside

Posted Aug 24 2008 2:51pm
Richard Louv was the first to give name to a phenomenon we all knew existed but couldn't quite articulate: nature-deficit disorder. Since its original publication, Last Child in the Woods has created a national conversation about the disconnection between children and nature, and Louv's message has galvanized an international movement.



Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder is the inspiring work that proves children need nature as much as nature needs children.





The new edition includes:


  • A field guide with 100 activities to promote change in your community, school, and family
  • 35 discussion points to inspire people of all ages to talk about the importance of nature in their lives
  • Field notes from the author about the growing No Child Left Inside movement
  • New and updated research confirming that direct exposure to nature is essential for the physical and emotional health of children and adults
Richard Louv is the chairman of the Children & Nature Network, has served as adviser to the Ford Foundation's Leadership for a Changing World award program and the National Scientific Council on the Developing Child .
