Last Child in the Woods

Someone told me that I'd love a book called Last Child in the Woods. I read a quik blurb online and it seems interesting. I believe it focuses on "nature deficit disorder" and how kids today spend so much time cooped indoors with tv, videos and junk food. Has any read the book?

I saw it at Borders and thumbed through it a bit. I thought it was interesting, but wasn't surprised at any of the things I read. I've got it on hold at the library.

Yep. I think there's a tribe on it in the FYT section. Or maybe it is in here somewhere... Anyway, I think it is a really important book and helps you figure out how to connect your kids to nature, even if you're in an urban area. I recommend it!
