This book has been criticized because it doesn't really offer empirical evidence, but I think for those of us who spent time wandering the woods (we had 40 acres that I knew like the back of my hand) as kids, we know what a gift that outdoor time can be for kids. That's why this book is a must-read for parents and educators, I think -- to remind us of what's out there and possible and what we've forgotten. It may be that "nature" therapy can work as a form of behavior therapy for ADHD kids -- and that's fine. But the point that's most important here is that there's a huge world out there that our kids should be experiencing first-hand whenever possible, rather than through a computer screen.
Cool look at the 5 1967 Academy Award best pictures, using them as an example of the old/new Hollywood shift. Like a 'Easy Riders, Raging Bulls' the early years. Harris is a great writer, one of those bastards who manages to make you interested in even the films he's telling you are total crap (Dr. Dolittle in this case).
