Download or read book Vitamin N written by Richard Louv and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the New York Times bestseller that defined nature-deficit disorder and launched the international children-and-nature movement, Vitamin N (for “nature”) is a complete prescription for connecting with the power and joy of the natural world right now, with 500 activities for children and adults Dozens of inspiring and thought-provoking essays Scores of informational websites Down-to-earth advice In his landmark work Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv was the first to bring widespread attention to the alienation of children from the natural world, coining the term nature-deficit disorder and outlining the benefits of a strong nature connection--from boosting mental acuity and creativity to reducing obesity and depression, from promoting health and wellness to simply having fun. That book “rivaled Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring” (the Cincinnati Enquirer), was “an absolute must-read for parents” (the Boston Globe), and “an inch-thick caution against raising the fully automated child” (the New York Times). His follow-up book, The Nature Principle, 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).Vitamin N 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.

Book excerpt: John Thornton returns home from the war in Iraq, being wounded, suffering post-traumatic stress disorder from his combat experiences and attending the United States Homeland Security School and returns to his job at the Center City, Oklahoma, Police Department as a detective. When a very strange haunting of a local elderly ladies’ home and three suspicious deaths occur in Shaney, Oklahoma, a suburb of Center City, it becomes apparent the current investigation authority of the Center City Police Department cannot solve these cases. John Thornton serves as a liaison between the US Department of Homeland Security and the Center City Police Department and makes a plea to a retired United States senator, Nathaniel Andrews, for help, which brings him, Robbie Jensen (US DHS medical examiner), Sofia Clark (a CIA agent), and Dr. Lisa Wayne (psychiatrist) together to form a specialized US DHS Special Investigations Division into existence to work these cases under the authority of the United States Department of Homeland Security. Although John does not believe in the paranormal, what he experiences firsthand changes his mind. However, even with this group, with the aid of the Oklahoma Paranormal Research Association, the investigations are still very dangerous for all. The tension is high for everyone as the tasks become much more dangerous, both physically and psychologically. The solving of these cases, however, makes the risks all that more important to the US DHS Special Investigations Division team members to save innocent lives.
