Going on vacation and need to find a good book? Or maybe you need a book to relax with at night or on the weekends? Farmer’s Daughter just posted an excellent list of environmental literature and includes brief synopses of each title. Books that I may check out include Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv and Go Green Live Rich by David Bach. If Bach’s book has anything to do with its title, I may leave this book around the house for my husband. A true conservative, my husband enjoys living in an environmental way that does not consume our family’s resources (um, our money). Anyway, Farmer’s Daughter’s list is long and thorough, and definitely worth taking a peak at. Click here to read more.

Just to add to your post, my students wrote the description of each book. I also want to read Last Child in the Woods. The girl who read that actually did her own study by climbing a tree and counting the number of children she saw playing outside on a warm sunny day. The results were sad… She didn’t see anybody at that particular time.
Nice Site layout for your blog. I am looking forward to reading more from you.
