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","brand":"Algonquin Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48515765829881,"sku":"9781616205782","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/1811\/7625\/files\/imageloader_f6353207-8323-410b-85bc-f54fcb6bdf24.jpg?v=1781209150","url":"https:\/\/hookeandplotte.com\/products\/vitamin-n-the-essential-guide-to-a-nature-rich-life","provider":"Hooke and Plotte Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
