The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature Deficit-Disorder
By Richard Louv, © 2011, Chapel Hill: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill.
Richard Louv is not necessarily suggesting a literal disorder here but he is suggesting in a compelling way that connecting with nature has value for one’s physical and emotional wellness and health. There are lots of interesting ideas and research presented here, as well as inspiration. Don’t be surprised if reading this book makes you want to go for a walk on a trail in the woods.
