From the author of the New York Times bestseller that defined nature-deficit disorder and launched the international children-and-nature movement, Vitamin N (for "nature") is a prescription for connecting with the power and joy of the natural world right now, with 500 activities for children and adults, dozens of inspiring and thought-provoking essays, and down-to-earth advice. This comprehensive and practical guidebook includes tips not only for parents eager to share nature with their kids but also for medical professionals and those seeking nature-smart schools.
Richard Louv is a journalist and author of ten books that have been translated into twenty languages. In his landmark Last Child in the Woods, he was the first to bring widespread attention to the alienation of children from the natural world, coining the term "nature-deficit disorder" and outlining the benefits of a strong nature connection—from boosting mental acuity and creativity to reducing obesity and depression. He is cofounder and chair emeritus of the nonprofit Children & Nature Network, which supports a new nature movement.
