Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder
Last Child in the Woods discusses the growing divide between the young and the outdoors. It introduces the term 'Nature-Deficit Disorder' to describe the loss of connection children increasingly feel with the natural world. Author Richard Louv links the lack of nature in the lives of today's wired generation to some disturbing trends, including rises in obesity, attention disorders, and depression.Published in Dec 31, 2004
