What a great city! Author Richard Louv is speaking tonight (July 30, 2008) at 7:00 p.m. at Hoyt Sherman Place. The award winning author of the best selling book Last Child in the Woods will present a free lecture. Since seating is limited you may want to reserve your tickets just to be sure.
The book has been reviewed positively by

There is a 5 minute interview with Louv from San Francisco; it’s on You Tube. I ran across an unrelated but interesting You Tube video from the Netherlands; it’s in Dutch but subtitled, and it’s relevant to this discussion.
Louv contends that this is an issue of health, attention, classroom performance, and well-being. Tonight’s lecture is a great opportunity for teachers, parents, and nature lovers.
