From the author of the New York Times bestseller that

international children-and-nature movement, Vitamin N
(for “nature”) is a complete 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
Scores of informational websites
Down-to-earth advice
In his landmark work Last Child in the Woods, Richard
Louv 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, from promoting health and wellness to simply
having fun. That book “rivaled Rachel Carson’s Silent
Spring” (the Cincinnati Enquirer), was “an absolute must-
read for parents” (the Boston Globe), and “an inch-thick
caution against raising the fully automated child” (the
New York Times). His follow-up book, The Nature
Principle, addressed the needs of adults and outlined a
“new nature movement and its potential to improve the
lives of all people no matter where they live” (McClatchy
Newspapers).Vitamin N is a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive,
and practical guidebook for the whole family and the
wider community, including tips not only for parents
eager to share nature with their kids but also for those
seeking nature-smart schools, medical professionals, and
even careers. It is a dose of pure inspiration, reminding
us that looking up at the stars or taking a walk in the
woods is as exhilarating as it is essential, at any age.
