Last Child in the Woods :

Saving our Children from

Nature-Deficit Disorder
 By

ATLANTIC BOOKS
 Camping in the garden, riding bikes through the woods, climbing
trees, collecting bugs, picking wildflowers, running through piles of
autumn leaves... These are the things childhood memories are made
of. But for a whole generation of today's children the pleasures of a
free-range childhood are missing, and their indoor habits contribute
to epidemic obesity, attention-deficit disorder, isolation and
childhood depression.

This timely book shows how our children have become increasingly
alienated and distanced from nature, why this matters and how we
can make a difference. Last Child in the Woods is a clarion call,
brilliantly written, compelling and irresistibly persuasive - a book
that will change minds and lives.
