Book Description
This book highlights the potential of school farms to fight hunger and malnutrition by providing access to locally produced, fresh, and healthy food as well as providing young students with educational opportunities to learn, interact with nature, and develop their skills. Hunger is one of the most pressing concerns we face today and there is a clear need to provide alternative sources of food to feed a fast-growing population. School farms offer a sustainable opportunity to produce food locally in order to feed underprivileged students who rely on school meals as an integral part of their daily diet. Approaching the concept of school farms through four themes, Problem, People, Process, and Place, the book shows how they can play an essential role in providing sustainable and healthy food for students, the critical role educational institutions can play in promoting this process, and the positive impact hands-on farming can have on students' mental and physical wellbeing. Utilizing the authors' personal hands-on experiences, and drawing on global case studies, the book provides a theoretical framework and practical guidance to help with the establishment of school farms and community-based gardening projects and an education system which promotes a sustainable and healthy approach to food, agriculture, and the environment. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of food security, agriculture, healthy and sustainable diets, education for sustainable development, and urban studies. It will also be of great interest to practitioners and policymakers involved in food policy, developing school and community projects, global health and international development, as well as education professionals.

Book Description
With the current rise of metropolitan regions as a present location and driver of the development of rural tourism, agritourism, food tourism and nature tourism, there is a need to analyse the major economic, social, political and managerial aspects of these types of tourism which occur within the rural-urban fringe. This book establishes a current inventory and appropriate future selection of commuter belt tourism products for metropolitan areas. It also explains how public and private resources can be combined to achieve synergistic effects in tourism promotion and provides a structural analysis for the proper management of tourist organisations in metropolitan areas. Additionally, there is insight into how the development of metropolitan areas affects rural tourism and agritourism within broader social, economic and environmental relations. The issue of the growth of metropolitan areas, which is a complex and multifaceted challenge, is elaborated on with diverse examples in Poland and further afield. This is valuable reading for students, researchers and academics of tourism, as well as rural and urban studies, business management, farm management, and leisure studies.

Book Description
The inebriate asylum movement of the 19th and early 20th century was guided by a dystopian vision which sought to incarcerate all drinkers until they were cured, and to incarcerate incurable inebriates for life. This plan to create a nationwide chain of state-run inebriate asylums to rival the insane asylums of the era, which was promoted by the American Association for the Cure of Inebriates, ended in abject failure. Few inebriate asylums were ever established, and those that were established did not last long. Many were shot through with political corruption and graft. Moreover, no state government was willing to pass a law to incarcerate drinkers indefinitely, perhaps for life. Most states never built an inebriate asylum or passed a law to commit inebriates to specialized inebriate institutions, for the few states which did pass such laws, the typical commitment was six months or one year. A rival movement of the same era sought to establish inebriate homes rather than asylums. Inebriate homes were run on the honor system and sought to cure with kindness and a client-centered approach which foreshadows Rogerian Therapy. Inebriate homes had more success than inebriate asylums; the Boston Washingtonian Home was in existence for more than a century. This book tells the story of the government-run and the non-profit addiction treatment facilities which were founded prior to the Repeal of Prohibition in 1933: inebriate asylums, homes, and farms, as well as the municipal narcotic clinics which dispensed morphine to addicts, the Federal Narcotic Farms at Lexington and Fort Worth, and the alcoholic ward at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. This book also discusses the close ties between the temperance movement and addiction treatment in the 19th and early 20th centuries and the automaton theory of inebriety, which presages today's hijacked brain theory. This book also discusses the genesis of the 12-step Minnesota Model at the State Inebriate Farm at Willmar, the introduction and disastrous ending of Synanon-based therapeutic communities at the Lexington Narcotic Farm, and the introduction of methadone programs at Bellevue and at the Boston Washingtonian Hospital. Groundbreaking studies of opiates, marijuana, barbiturates, alcohol, naloxone, and LSD conducted at the Lexington Narcotic Farm are also covered, as is the research at Bellevue Hospital on Korsakoff's Syndrome and the protective effect of vitamin B1.

Book Description
Imagine walking through a lush forest, the ground soft beneath your feet, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves. Birdsong fills the air, and the tension in your body begins to melt away. With every step you take, you feel more connected—to the world, others, and, most importantly, yourself. This sense of connection and peace is more than just a temporary escape; it's a form of therapy, a way to heal the soul, mind, and body. This is the essence of Nature Therapy, the subject of our journey together through the pages of this book. What is Nature Therapy? Nature Therapy, also known as ecotherapy or green therapy, is spending time in nature to gain therapeutic benefits. While traditional therapy sessions are often conducted within the four walls of an office, Nature Therapy takes you outside, encouraging you to interact with your environment healingly. It may involve activities as simple as walking through a forest, tending to a garden, or sitting by a stream, letting nature's sights, sounds, and smells bring peace to your mind and body. The Importance of Reconnecting with Nature In our modern lives, we are increasingly separated from the natural world. Our days are often spent indoors, in front of screens, far removed from the green landscapes that once dominated human life. This disconnection has consequences: increased stress, feelings of isolation, and various physical and mental health problems. Reconnecting with nature can act as an antidote, offering a holistic approach to well-being that engages all the senses. Healing for All One of the most beautiful aspects of Nature Therapy is its accessibility. Regardless of age, background, or physical ability, almost anyone can gain therapeutic benefits from spending time outdoors. Whether dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or simply seeking more peace and clarity, Nature Therapy offers many healing possibilities. The Scope of This Book This book aims to provide you with a comprehensive guide to understanding and practicing Nature Therapy. We'll delve into the scientific research supporting its effectiveness and explore various methods of engaging with nature for therapeutic benefits. You'll learn about the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, or forest bathing; discover the therapeutic effects of gardening; understand how water bodies can serve as powerful mediums for self-reflection and peace; and much more. Who Should Read This Book? Anyone feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed Individuals seeking alternative therapies for mental well-being Parents wanting to instill a love for nature in their children Professionals spending too much time in office settings Environmental enthusiasts seeking a deeper connection with nature Mental health practitioners interested in alternative therapeutic methods Let's Begin Our Journey I invite you to open your mind and heart to the incredible healing power of nature as we embark on this journey together. Through the pages of this book, you'll learn not just to exist in the world but to be a part of it, to connect and thrive in ways you may have never imagined possible. With the world becoming increasingly chaotic, taking the time to heal through Nature Therapy is not just an indulgence but a necessity. Let us take the first steps into the forest of healing and well-being together. Welcome to the world of Nature Therapy.
