Review Of Jayber Crow, Charles Yaple
Review Of Jayber Crow, Charles Yaple
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
As in his other books, and poetry, Berry writes about ordinary people, community and the land. In Jayber Crow, readers follow the life journey of a "wouldbe" preacher who becomes the town barber in a small rural community of the south. Berry's genius is in the way that he draws the reader into the story. His development of characters is such that readers will quickly relate with them, and once hooked, will continue to read to see what happens. The book truly is one that you will not want to put down. It is a love story between and about …
Pleasurable Cures For Nature Deficit Disorder, Martin Ogle
Pleasurable Cures For Nature Deficit Disorder, Martin Ogle
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Let's back up and define "Nature Deficit Disorder" a bit. The one sentence description of this disorder most often posited goes something like this: "Kids don't spend as much time outside as they used to, and this is compromising the health. and well-being of kids, the adults they become, and society." There is a lot of truth in this, and efforts to simply get kids outside more are needed and powerful in their own right. But the problem goes deep~r than that. Increasingly, the word "unstructured" is being added to the basic sentence, above: "Kids don't spend as much unstructured …
Outdoor Education And The Development Of Civic Responsibility, Judith A Boss
Outdoor Education And The Development Of Civic Responsibility, Judith A Boss
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Recently commentators have mourned the "disappearance of civic America," saying we are becoming a nation of civic couch potatoes (Tyack, 1997). Surveys suggest voters know little about what their legislators are doing (Harris, 1997). Other observers point out the importance of strong civic involvement for creating conditions sometimes referred to as social capital-that support vital community life and thriving economies (Coleman, 1988; Putnam, 1993). This type of involvement includes participation in government, associations (for example, charitable, religious, athletic, environmental, or arts), and community and economic development. For students to grow into fully participating citizens, they need to find their place …

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Several months after we decided to make "Nature and Character Development" the theme for this Taproot, a disturbing Teaching and Learning Newsletter found its way into my mailbox. An article titled: Generation Next Comes to College ... dealt with our current cohort (Generation NeXt) of younger college students and issues such as "high school grade inflation in entering students, academic disengagement and consumer expectations while in college to difficulties entering the workforce and taking on adult roles when they graduate" if they do so at all. The author's thesis was that college faculty must adopt new teaching styles to accommodate …

Update On The Children And Nature Movement, Coalition For Education In The Outdoors
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
The National Forum on Children and Nature, sponsored by The Conservation Fund, Louv and others, also continues to progress towards its goal of sponsoring national projects which will serve to reconnect kids with nature. Calls for project proposals went out last fall and Forum Advisory Panels are now considering some 500 applications anticipating awarding funding to thirty or so finalists later in 2008. Reviewing those applications is, in itself, cause to celebrate somewhat. It is very encouraging to see the diversity of environmental, outdoor, and recreation education programs that already exist in the USA The Children and Nature movement is …

Review Of Fermenting Revolution, Coalition For Education In The Outdoors
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Want to help save the planet? Want to do so while enjoying a healthy and pleasurable experience? OK, then read Fermenting Revolution: How to Drink Beer and Save the World. Seriously, O'Brien makes a sound argument, often humorous, that drinking locally brewed beers can significantly assist the goals of the growing "sustainability" movement. He is the Director of the Responsible Purchasing Network at the Center for a New American Dream. The Center and this book are dedicated to challenging the "onslaught of corporate globalization" by putting into practice the wisdom of "thinking globally and acting locally."

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
The focus of this article is the importance of camp settings in providing a positive climate for youth development outcomes. Camps may be one of the largest organized interventions for children in the US followed only by schools and churches. Camp programs serve an estimated 12 million campers each year, so they have the potential to exert great influence on many children and adults each year. Camps provide interventions in that camp staff members are trained to help youth change in posi- Fall/Winter 2007 tive ways. Camp offers sustained experiences, usually in natural settings that promote a "sense of community" …

Review Of Noah's Children, Josh Bochniak
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Sara Stein, in a narrative that elicits emotions as divergent as anger and laughter, approaches the broad idea of what is missing in today's childhood, and what she perceives is needed for its restoration. Approaching topics such as evolutionary and cultural heritage, natural interaction, and developmental struggles, she places many contemporary social norms in sharp contrast against their historical predecessors.

Developing A Support Group For Adolescents With Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus Using An Outdoor Adventure Educational Modality, Tara Lynch
Graduate Student Independent Studies
This independent study details the group process aspects of creating an outdoor adventure based support group for adolescents living with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). A review of previous outdoor adventure programs is included, followed by a rationale for the new material. The developmental assessment of teens living with IDDM identifies a need for greater self-confidence, increased independence, and social support. To meet this need, a program that includes aspects of team building, personal challenge, and problem-solving has been created.

Update On Children And Nature, Coalition For Education In The Outdoors
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Arlington, Va.-This month, millions of kids swap school for the pool, ready for summer break. But is nature part of their plans? For too many, the answer is no. With that in mind, an eclectic group of the nation's leaders-including governors, mayors, CEOs, educators, and clergy-is launching an ambitious effort to reconnect kids with nature. This new effort, the National Forum on Children and Nature, will find and fund 20 projects across the country that demonstrate how kids can rediscover nature, through education, health, the media and the built environment.

Practitioner's Corner: Nature-Spirit Connection, Joel Light
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
I have been a Christian and been interested in nature for as long as I can remember. Because these values in my life started at the same time, I see the direct correlation between the two. Growing up on a small hobby farm in Northwest Ohio, I had many opportunities to experience the Creation. From the farm animals that I raised, to the ditches that I explored, to the fields I walked, and the country roads where i searched for signs of wildlife; I was aware of being in and part of the Creation. I was created by the same …

Buddhism And The Environment, Rijumati
Buddhism And The Environment, Rijumati
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
When we look at the traditional Buddhist texts there seems to be very little direct reference to what would these days be called environmental or ecological ideas. As we imaginatively enter the world in which the Buddha lived and taught, the reason for this becomes clear. The picture that emerges is one of a culture that lived in far greater harmony with its environment, if sometimes at its mercy, and an "Environmental Movement" simply wasn't needed. The strong connection that people felt with nature is illustrated particularly in the story of the Buddha's life, in which all the most significant …

Review Of A Greener Faith, Joshua Bochniak
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
It is now undeniable that leaders and followers of many religious traditions have taken up the work of increasing environmental stewardship. In the past decade, the number of religious organizations devoted to environmental themes has increased dramatically. In A Greener Faith, Roger S. Gottlieb examines this trend in general and then focuses on what a few major religious traditions are doing in response to our environmental crises. He pays particular attention to what various religions contribute to the struggle, articulating a new religious environmentalism.

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
"In wildness lies the preservation of the world" - profound words of environmentalist and author Henry David Thoreau spoken more than 150 years ago. Concerned about more than biophysical health, Thoreau argued that civilizations breakdown when humans forget their origins and source of spiritual, mental and physical sustenance. He believed wild places were a source of inspiration containing the "raw material of life" that instilled a sense of wonder, spiritual truths and the basis of sound intellect for those frequenting such haunts. Considering Thoreau's wisdom and present concerns about such things as "nature deficit disorder," this issue of Taproot explores …
