Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
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, Louv offers practical solutions and simple ways to heal the broken bond—and they are right in our own backyard.
At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

Love it and so important for parents to read
I agree with the author, kids need outside time (more than TV, WII or any other kind of video game). It is one of the best gift we can give them.

A far from coherent attempt at an important issue
Having bought Last Child in the Woods on the basis of the title without checking as deeply as I might have, I found myself finishing six other books while I was struggling through this, mostly on (southern) summer holidays at a camping ground...

A Timely Book

Just the beginning
I agree with another reviewer, who wrote that anyone buying this book already feels the pull to nature. And frankly just reading some of the other reviews helped solidify my own belief of how valuable nature time is for children.

Leave No Child Inside
This is a very important book for parents and those in the educational system to read and heed. This book has started a national conversation on what we can do to get our children outdoors and into nature.

Every parent should read
This book is a must for every parent to read. As a retired preschool teacher, I can tell you that children must get connected to their outside world if we expect it to be cherished again. Children must, on the other hand get disconnected from...

Sappy with no depth
The book came quickly and was in the same condition described. I have no problem with the seller. But the content of the book is lacking. I was expecting depth and real data to support their claims. Instead it was just a bunch of feel good mumbo...

Last Child in the Woods
As humanity goes deeper and deeper into materialism and our children are displaying symptoms in their emotional, behavioral and physical health, this book brings us back to the understanding that children are not little adults and human beings are...
