Author: Richard Louv
Publisher: Algonquin Paperbacks

Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder, has spurred a national dialogue among educators, health professionals, parents, developers and conservationists in the States and Europe.

In this influential work about the staggering divide between children and the outdoors, child advocacy expert Richard Louv directly links the lack of nature in the lives of today's wired generation—he calls it nature-deficit—to some of the most disturbing childhood trends, such as the rises in obesity, attention disorders, and depression.
