    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    This second edition of Richard Louv's Last Child in the Woods will change the way you think about your children's connection with the natural world.

    • Author: Richard Louv
    • Softcover; 334 pages
    • Published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill; copyright 2008
    • Second edition includes a field guide with 100 practical actions we can take, updated research and 35 discussion points for classrooms and communities
    • Also includes a progress report by Richard Louv

    This groundbreaking work discusses the staggering divide between children and the outdoors. Louv directly links the absence of nature in the lives of today's wired generation to some of the most disturbing childhood trends: obesity, attention disorders and depression. This is the first book to bring together a body of research indicating that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional health of children and adults. More than just raising an alarm, Louv offers practical solutions to heal the broken bond.

    Made in USA.

        Comments about Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder - 2nd Edition:

        The descriptions at the beginning are difficult to accept. But the changes in the relationship of children to nature in recent generations are undeniable.

        In this edition Richard Louv offers more hope and many suggestions for how to change the current situation.
