Book Description
 
 The Book That Launched an International Movement  “An absolute must-read for parents.” —The
Boston Globe  “It rivals Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.” —The Cincinnati Enquirer   “I like to play
indoors better ’cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are,” reports a fourth grader. But it’s not
only computers, television, and video games that are keeping kids inside. It’s also their parents’
fears of traffic, strangers, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus; their schools’ emphasis on more and
more homework; their structured schedules; and their lack of access to natural areas. Local
governments, neighborhood associations, and even organizations devoted to the outdoors are
placing legal and regulatory constraints on many wild spaces, sometimes making natural play a
crime. As children’s connections to nature diminish and the social, psychological, and spiritual
implications become apparent, new research shows that nature can offer powerful therapy for
such maladies as depression, obesity, and attention deficit disorder. Environment-based education
dramatically improves standardized test scores and grade-point averages and develops skills in
problem solving, critical thinking, and decision making. Anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that
childhood experiences in nature stimulate creativity. In Last Child in the Woods, Louv talks with
parents, children, teachers, scientists, religious leaders, child-development researchers, and
environmentalists who recognize the threat and offer solutions. Louv shows us an alternative
future, one in which parents help their kids experience the natural world more deeply—and find the
joy of family connectedness in the process.  Now includesA Field Guide with 100 Practical Actions
We Can Take? Discussion Points for Book Groups, Classrooms, and Communities? Additional
Notes by the Author? New and Updated Research from the U.S. and Abroad Richard Louv's new
book, Our Wild Calling, is available now.
