“A gentle guide to connecting with the non-human world.”
- Kirkus Reviews
“This book is a how-to manual for getting back your soul.”
- Carl Safina, author of Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe
“Richard Louv’s Noticing isn’t nature writing as usual, it’s an invitation to meet the more-than-human world through all the senses.”
-Linda Åkeson McGurk, author of The Open-Air Life and There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather
“Blending rich storytelling with research and ancestral ways of knowing, Louv shows how deep noticing can reawaken our senses and renew our bond with nature.”
- Sally Jewell, Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior
"Richard Louv has created a ‘multi-being’ in the form of a book illustrating all the senses needed to fully attend to this wonderful, divergent world. No single species can do this, but Noticing, filled with Richard’s observations and the sensory insights of many others, human and nonhuman, is as close as you are ever going to get."
- Glenn Albrecht, author of Earth Emotions
“Richard Louv is one of today’s most discerning observers of the natural world and our place in it, and Noticing … is full of grace and full of wonder. A beautiful guide to being present, reconnecting, caring, healing, and thriving.”
- Howard Frumkin, Former Director of CDC National Center for Environmental Health
“What a gift! I found myself laughing out loud at times. Moments later, I was on the verge of tears.”
- Cheryl Charles, Ph.D., International Co-Chair of IUCN’s NatureForAll and Co-Founder of Children & Nature Network
[This book is] a gentle prescription for our times—an invitation not just to go outside, but to truly step into nature with intention and attention. [Noticing] offers a simple yet profound path to nurturing ourselves and hope for the future.”
- Pooja Tandon M.D., MPH, Professor of General Pediatrics, Seattle Children's Hospital
