Summary:
"At no time in human history have we been more disconnected with what lies outside our front doors. Within just a century, our relationship with our surroundings has transformed from one of exploration to one of disassociation. In This Book Was a Tree, science teacher Marcie Cuff issues a call for a new era of pioneers--not leathery, backwoods deerskin-wearing salt pork and hominy pioneers, but strong-minded, clever, crafty, mudpie-making, fort-building individuals committed to examining the natural world and deciphering nature's perplexing puzzles. Within each chapter, readers will discover a principle for reconnecting with the natural world around them, from learning to be still to discovering the importance of giving back. With a mix of science and hands-on crafts and activities, readers will be encouraged to brainstorm, imagine, and understand the world as inventive scientists-to touch, collect, document, sketch, decode, analyze, experiment, unravel, interpret, compare, and reflect. Marcie Chambers Cuff is a nature columnist for the Hudson Independent and runs 'Mossy', a blog highlighting innovative family projects and hands-on parenting commentary"--Provided by publisher.
