For many of us, thinking about the future conjures up images of Cormac McCarthy's <i>The Road</i>: a post-apocalyptic dystopia stripped of nature. Richard Louv, author of the landmark bestseller <i>Last Child in the Woods</i>, urges us to change our vision of the future, suggesting that if we reconceive environmentalism and sustainability, they will evolve into a larger movement that will touch every part of society.<br /><br />This New Nature Movement taps into the restorative powers of the natural world to boost mental acuity and creativity; promote health and wellness; build smarter and more sustainable businesses, communities, and economies; and ultimately strengthen human bonds. Supported by groundbreaking research, anecdotal evidence, and compelling personal stories, Louv offers renewed optimism while challenging us to rethink the way we live.
