About this ebook
From the bestselling authority on connecting children with nature, a one-of-a-kind guide chock-full of practical ideas, advice and inspiration for creating a nature-rich life - for kids and grown-ups.
In his groundbreaking international bestseller Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv spotlighted the alienation of children from the natural world, coining the term 'nature-deficit disorder'. Vitamin N is the comprehensive practical handbook, a complete prescription for enjoying the natural world.
Includes:
Five hundred activities
Scores of informational websites
An abundance of down-to-earth advice
Dozens of thought-provoking essays.
Unlike other guidebooks, Vitamin N (for 'nature') addresses the whole family and the wider community, encouraging parents eager to share nature with their kids. It is a dose of pure inspiration, reminding us that looking up at the stars or taking a walk in the woods is as joyful as it is essential, at any age.

Reviews for Vitamin N
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars
4/5
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent source book for anyone who wants to raise the bar for environmental awareness and improving access to nature. Louv has written a book that stands out in the field of books on this topic. He provides quick ideas for parents, teachers, grandparents, and various community groups about improving access to nature and documents carefully what is known in today's research about the impact of that access to nature. He is no Luddite and offers ideas about integrating technology and nature immersion. This book can be used on-the-go for people who want to grab quick ideas and can also be a nice work of reflection upon the importance of nature to people living in any environment. His appendices provide further "trails" to follow, if you will. Highly recommended.
