That book \"rivaled Rachel Carson's \u003ci\u003eSilent Spring\u003c\/i\u003e\" (the \u003ci\u003eCincinnati Enquirer\u003c\/i\u003e), was \"an absolute must-read for parents\" (the \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e), and \"an inch-thick caution against raising the fully automated child\" (the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e). His follow-up book, \u003ci\u003eThe Nature Principle, \u003c\/i\u003e addressed the needs of adults and outlined a \"new nature movement and its potential to improve the lives of all people no matter where they live\" (McClatchy Newspapers).\u003ci\u003eVitamin N\u003c\/i\u003e is a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive, and practical guidebook for the whole family and the wider community, including tips not only for parents eager to share nature with their kids but also for those seeking nature-smart schools, medical professionals, and even careers. It is a dose of pure inspiration, reminding us that looking up at the stars or taking a walk in the woods is as exhilarating as it is essential, at any age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Louv's new book, \u003ci\u003eOur Wild Calling\u003c\/i\u003e, is available now.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616205782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2016 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2016 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Richard Louv","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36662239494300,"sku":"9781616205782","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_29f640a9-83cd-417c-9348-1525d8d8d513.jpg?v=1603901443","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/vitamin-n-the-essential-guide-to-a-nature-rich-life-9781616205782","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
