Lessons of the Wild

“As a Park Ranger and father, I was struck by the moving and insightful revelations found in Ed Andersen's Lessons of the Wild. In my work and personal life, I see firsthand the educational and restorative power of wilderness. Andersen chronicles this well, and he explores the 'chasm' and its effects that develop when people completely separate themselves from the natural world. This book is a great tool to illustrate the importance of wilderness, in terms of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.”
