Louv is the author of eight books about the connections between family, nature and community. His landmark book Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder has been translated into l5 languages and published in 17 countries, stimulating an international conversation about the relationships between children and nature. His book The Nature Principle: Reconnecting with Life in a Virtual Age offers a new vision of the future in which our lives are as immersed in nature as they are in technology. Serving as a companion handbook to the two prior books, Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life is a complete prescription for connecting with the power and joy of the natural world right now.
