Last Child in the Woods 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, the author, Richard Louv, child advocacy expert, offers practical solutions and simple ways to heal the broken bond and many are right in our own backyard.
