Why it is included:

The mother of the modern environmental movement argues that for the child—and the adult—"feeling is more important than knowing."

She provides the "Biophilic Anchor," reminding us that we cannot save a world we do not love.

It is the antidote to the "disenchantment" of the digital age, grounding our future visions in the smell of wet soil and the sound of the ocean.
