I would recommend this book to anyone with children and it is a wonderful resource for anyone that works with children and youth as well. Louv speaks about today's young people and how they are growing up in America's third frontier, which includes: the detachment from the sources of food, the virtual disappearance of the farm family, the suburbs and their ever shrinking open space, the ambivalent new relationship between humans and other animals, and a generation that is so "plugged-in" that it has lost the connection with our natural world...but he provides hope for the future and talks about the change that is already in full force. He provides beautiful quotes throughout his chapters. I gotta say, after reading his book, I was truly inspired.
