Both poetic and practical, this book examines every facet of this movement, all supported by research and results from environmental psychologists, educators, families, and students. The outcome is a compelling case for nature-driven planning and design. --Laura Solano, Partner, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Landscape Architects What timely help is found in Schools that Heal!
