    <![CDATA[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.<br/><em>Last Child in the Woods</em> 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.]]>

  <body>Well, it's not the most focused or substantiated argument so far, but it did inspire me to take the kids creek exploring today. Great time!</body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is typical sentence from Last Child in the Woods: &quot;he offered no academic studies to support his theory; nonetheless his statement rang true.&quot; That about sums up this book: it's not empirical, but, nonetheless, it rings true—more or less. He draws his conclusions far too widely, and...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34005336">more...</a>]]></body>
