Description
Losing Eden: Why Our Minds Need the Wild As we increasingly live indoor lives, disconnected from the natural world, we may be losing part of ourselves. Lucy Jones, an acclaimed journalist, explores the value of the natural universe to our human hearts in this thought-provoking book. Delicately observed and rigorously researched, Losing Eden takes us on a journey through the latest scientific evidence on the importance of communion with the wild for our psychological wellbeing. From forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, Jones travels to the cutting edge of human biology, neuroscience, and psychology to discover new ways of understanding our dysfunctional relationship with the earth. This enthralling journey reveals the significance of connecting with the living world for our health and wellbeing.
