520    In this book the author argues that a strong connection to
       nature is essential for human health. Supported by 
       research, anecdotal evidence, and personal stories, the 
       author shows how tapping into the restorative powers of 
       the natural world can boost mental acuity and creativity; 
       promote health and wellness; build smarter and more 
       sustainable businesses, communities, and economies; and 
       ultimately strengthen human bonds.  He outlines seven 
       precepts he calls the "Nature Principle", which include 
       balancing technology excess with time in nature; a mind/
       body/nature connection, which he calls "vitamin N," that 
       enhances physical and mental health; expanding our sense 
       of community to include all living things; and 
       purposefully developing a spiritual, psychological, 
       physical attachment to a region and its natural history. 
       The book presents examples of these precepts, from studies
       of how exposure to a common soil bacteria increases 
       production of serotonin in the brain to designing shopping
       malls inspired by termite mounds.
