Last Child in the Woods, by Richard Louv, is not directly related to BW/Q, but I've read a lot of posts by people making comments about the behavior and values of today's young people. This is a very thought-provoking read about the diminishing opportunities that the boomer generation has provided for today's kids. Whereas the boomers played outdoors, largely without direct adult supervision, today's kids are controlled and monitored virtually 24/7. Read the reviews on Amazon.com for more detailed insight. I'd be interested in others' reviews...
