A must read for architects and open space influencers

A well prepared and presented insightful account of the significance of nature in human wellbeing.

If you have any influence over open space design or development I would encourage you to read this book. May our relationship with nature be promoted through such texts.

Thanks

Too much 'Therapy' for my liking.

Not what I expected. I thought this would be largely about our connection with animals, why horses so often calm hyperactive or autistic children, why dogs are so companionable to us, why we love even dangerous animals like Tigers etc...instead, much of this was about what British people would cringe at - hugging trees, wilderness retreats with psychotherapy, 'grounding' and learning to accept yourself through gardening and being a hippy...I found it quite cringe-worthy and get very bored with American therapy culture which seems to dominate their outlook.Twelve
