520 3 # |a This book explores the interaction between human health and natural environments, which involves a myriad of experiences, settings, and beliefs. It aims to provide a bridge between what people do (individually and collectively) in natural settings and how that action can impact health, both individually and collectively as the human species. By extension the book modestly addresses how human understanding of the importance of the natural environment to one's health and well-being can influence one's relationship with the natural world. The information is presented in 11 chapters: an overview; human perceptions of nature; the historical connection between natural environments and health; concepts and theories; human development and nature; adaptations and applications; outcomes and benefits; sense of place and the role of education; innovative approaches to integrating natural environments and health; future actions and implications: policy and research; and, information resources.
