Notes
General Note
In this work about the staggering divide between children and the outdoors the author directly links the absence of nature in the lives of today's wired generation to some of the most disturbing childhood trends: the rise in obesity, attention disorders and depression. 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. The author offers practical solutions to heal the broken bond.
