The Aerosmith axeman recounts how he ripped the blazing lead on the Rocks hit, dishing some critical history along the way. Behind Steven Tyler's unhinged howls, Aerosmith's twin-guitar attack with Joe Perry and Brad Whitford cemented them as one of the greatest hard-rock bands of the '70s. “Last Child,” the street-strutting, hard-blues hit off their breakout 1976 record Rocks, is one of the greatest demonstrations of this dangerous duo's interplay. While Perry holds down the funky rhythmic chord stabs, Whitford burns through a volcanic, first-take solo. Did any pedals help snare that screaming tone? Nope. Just a '57 goldtop Les Paul and a 100-watt Marshall. That combo just “makes you play real good,” Whitford says with a grin on this week's episode. Whitford gives Shifty the background story on how Rocks came together between the band's Massachusetts rehearsal space and the Record Plant in New York. They dig deep on Aerosmith's influences and the guitar players that shaped Whitford's lead style, including the shredders that knew when to pause. “Whatever you play, you're still replicating the human voice for the most part, and you have to take a breath,” Whitford notes. Later on, Brad's son Graham—an established player in his own right—joins the episode to talk about raiding his dad's guitar and amp vault, and Brad muses on a big question: Will Aerosmith's upcoming tour be their last?

This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD." In this episode, we'll explore the connection between the Hunter Farmer theory of ADHD and the concepts of neurodiversity and neurodivergent. As we unpack these two viewpoints of ADHD, they both seem to point in the same direction: people with ADHD have gifts to contribute to society.

Michael welcomes Richard Louv, author of "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder." As children's connections to nature diminish and the social, psychological, and spiritual implications become apparent, Mr. Louv highlights that new research shows that nature can offer powerful therapy for such maladies as depression, obesity, and attention deficit disorder.

When Nonprofits Start Businesses: Garden for Wildlife and the National Wildlife Federation

Most startups are founded by entrepreneurs hopeful that their idea will be the next big thing and pad their bank accounts in the process. Yet sometimes companies are started not by enterprising capitalists, but rather by a far less likely progenitor: nonprofit charities.  That's exactly what happened when the nonprofit National Wildlife Federation decided to spin out a for-profit corporation devoted to advancing the charity's mission to protect wildlife. The company, Garden for Wildlife, is already selling native plants to homeowners seeking to make their yards a bit more nonhuman-friendly. The basic premise is this: Too much wilderness has been destroyed by humanity for us to only rely on parks and preserves to give wildlife a chance to survive. While much of the animal biomass alive today is comprised of the animals who we farm for food, if we want to give free-living animals like songbirds a chance, we need to turn over a portion of our lawns and corporate landscapes into wildlife-friendlier corridors, or what author Douglas Tallamy calls “Homegrown National Park” in his book on this topic, Nature's Best Hope. Take the state where I lived most of my life, Maryland, as one example. Maryland alone has more lawn than two times the land allocated to its state parks, state forests, and wildlife management areas—all combined. Sadly though, lawns are essentially biological wastelands capable of supporting less than 10 percent of life that a more natural landscape can support. So why do we do it? Why do we Homo sapiens like to create these nearly lifeless lawns wherever we go? In short, we do it because it makes us feel safe. Evolutionary psychologists suggest that humans prefer unobstructed views of our surroundings because that's what kept us safe on the African savannah where we evolved. As a result, as we've spread off the savannah and across the globe, we've transformed forested ecosystems into something akin to our ancestral home. And this isn't something that only started only once civilization was founded. Even tribal hunter-gatherers living in forests are often proficient at deforesting their surroundings.  So that's the bad news.The good news is that homeowners can actually do quite a lot to make their yards more welcoming to pollinators and other friendly creatures. The key is to ditch part or all of your invasive, water-thirsty lawn and replace it with a beautiful array of native plants and trees that will attract butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, and other amazing and harmless animals to your property. But where to start? That's where Garden for Wildlife comes in. Its entire business model is to make it easy for you to do just that without becoming an ecologist yourself. Just type in your zip code on their web site and check off which species you hope to attract, and they'll show you a menu of attractive plants native specifically to your region that you can order straight from their site, delivered to your front door. Profiled by Martha Stewart Living and Better Homes and Gardens, Garden for Wildlife has raised $5 million from investors (primarily its founder, the National Wildlife Federation) and is already bringing in an annual revenue of $1 million. The company is also crowdfunding now, meaning for an investment as low as $250, you can own shares in this startup. And we've got their CEO, Shubber Ali, on the show to talk all about it. While I've not personally used their services, my wife Toni and I four years ago removed our front lawn in Sacramento and replaced it with a tiny little meadow of native, drought-tolerant plants. Combined with a water fountain for avian visitors, since then our front yard has become a Mecca for hummingbirds, songbirds, and other little neighbors we love watching. And it's even become a frequent stop for our human neighbors, who we regularly catch photographing the flowering beauty and bringing their kids by to enjoy the sight. In other words, our own little Homegrown National Park has made life not only better for wildlife, but for a lot of humans, too.  This is an interesting story about one charity's decision to use the power of commerce to advance their cause. I'll let their CEO Shubber Ali tell you all about it. Discussed in this episode Check out Nature's Best Hope by Douglas Tallamy, which is entirely about this topic. Shubber recommends reading Last Child in the Woods. Shubber also recommends TED talks by Patti Maes and Simon Sinek Want to quickly identify birds by sound? Merlin's got you. My wife and I were influenced by Nancy Lawson's resource, The Humane Gardener. More about Shubber Ali Shubber Ali is CEO of Garden for Wildlife.  He is a father, husband, avid gardener, and loves nature - and it's those last two things that led to his current role.   He has spent over thirty years helping companies solve their most complicated and difficult problems through innovation, identifying growth opportunities, enabling technologies and platforms. He was the VP and Global Lead for the Elevate team at Elastic from April 2021 to June 2022, and prior to that he was one of Accenture's global leads for digital innovation from September 2017 to April 2021, where he worked with the National Wildlife Federation to create the Garden for Wildlife business.  He has also served as VP of Strategic Innovation at Salesforce. He has co-founded multiple consumer technology companies, some successes including Centriq (acquired) and Flaik (privately held), and some great learning experiences (aka “failures”).  He serves as an advisor to numerous startups.  In addition, Shubber has served for 9 years on the Advisory Board to the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown (where he has also been an adjunct professor of Innovation Management  in the Executive MBA program) and a guest lecturer for the Emory University Executive MBA program.  Since 2014, he also has served as a member of the global advisory STAR program for Airbus.

The album continued Aerosmith's climb as perhaps America's preeminent hard rock band of the 1970's. The album was one of the first albums to ever get shipped platinum and has gone quadruple platinum. The album also reached number 3 on the US Billboard album charts. Aerosmith is led by one of the best singing and charismatic frontmen in rock history, Steven Tyler. Steven's vocals are one of a kind and style is unmatched. Aerosmith is led by dual guitar attack of Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. They trade off leads and rhythm guitar throughout the album. The rhythm section is Tom Hamilton on bass and Joey Kramer on drums. All the musicians as a whole are vastly underrated. The album was produced by the legendary Jack Douglas. Rocks features that classic Aerosmith style and see them continue the ascension to the top of the rock bands of the 1970's. Rocks features classics like, Back In The Saddle and Last Child while containing some of Aerosmith's favorite deep cuts, like Rats In The Cellar, Home Tonight & Nobody's Fault and Sick As A Dog. As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous 45 albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.

Chapter 1 Understand the idea behind Last Child in the Woods"Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder" is a book written by Richard Louv. In this book, Louv discusses the increasing disconnection between children and nature in modern society. He coined the term "nature-deficit disorder" to describe the negative consequences of this disconnection on children's physical, mental, and emotional well-being.Louv highlights the importance of nature in a child's development and presents research, personal anecdotes, and case studies to support his argument. He explores various factors that contribute to the nature-deficit disorder, including the rise of technology, parental fears, and urbanization.Furthermore, the author offers solutions to combat this disconnect and advocates for creating opportunities for children to engage with nature, whether it be through outdoor activities, environmental education, or simply spending more time in natural environments."Last Child in the Woods" has had a significant impact on the discourse surrounding the importance of nature in children's lives, and it has influenced educators, parents, and policymakers to prioritize nature experiences for children.Chapter 2 Is Last Child in the Woods Worth the Hype?Yes, "Last Child in the Woods" by Richard Louv is widely regarded as a good book. It has received critical acclaim and has been influential in sparking conversations and movements regarding the importance of reconnecting children with nature. The book discusses the benefits of outdoor play and explores the effects of the growing disconnect between children and the natural world.Chapter 3 Overview of Last Child in the Woods "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder" is a non-fiction book written by Richard Louv. In this book, Louv explores the growing disconnect between children and nature, which he calls "nature-deficit disorder," and discusses the adverse effects it has on their well-being.Louv argues that today's children spend less time outdoors and more time in front of screens, resulting in a decrease in outdoor play and exploration. This shift away from nature, Louv believes, leads to a range of problems including obesity, attention disorders, depression, and diminished appreciation for the natural world.Drawing on research and personal anecdotes, Louv emphasizes the importance of nature for children's physical, mental, and emotional development. He explores the benefits of unstructured outdoor play, such as improved creativity, problem-solving skills, and overall well-being.Additionally, Louv discusses the barriers preventing children from spending time in nature, including safety concerns, lack of access to natural spaces, and parents' fear of letting their children roam freely. He argues for the need to reconnect children with nature and suggests various strategies, such as creating nature-rich school environments, incorporating nature-based education, and encouraging parents to prioritize outdoor experiences.Ultimately, "Last Child in the Woods" serves as a call to action for individuals, communities, and society as a whole to prioritize and preserve the natural world for the sake of our children's health and future.Chapter 4 Last Child in the Woods Writer's Background The book "Last Child in the Woods" was written by Richard Louv, an American journalist and author.

Segment 4, October 28th, 2023 A recent study by Peter Gray, a researcher in psychology & neuroscience at Boston College joined with David Bjorklund from Florida Atlantic University & David Lancy, an anthropologist & professor from Utah State argues that the crisis that has befallen U.S. youth can be traced to a lack of independence. Lancy stated that the three authors were "struck by the shrinkage in the amount of time that children spend on their own & the territory they may explore..." during an interview with Caitlin Gibson of the Washington Post. This along with the published theory of Richard Louv in his 2005 book "Last Child in the Woods" coined the term Nature Deficit Disorder.  This was from children now spending much more time indoors than in previous generations. The gang at the Carolina Outdoors isn't for promoting high risk activities in children but feel that the promotion of being outside, enjoying a hike, some time fly fishing, or even a permitted bike ride in the neighborhood helps build independence and a healthy, mental state & disposition. In other words, make your kids spend some portion of their week outdoors.

On an unseasonably warm winter evening in Pennsylvania, 15-year-old Patty Desmond sneaked out through the basement of her house. She had a history of running away, and that, combined with an argument with her mother, gave police reason to suspect she'd come home in a week or two. The year was 1965. That night was the last time her family ever saw her.Conrad Eugene Miller was well-known to local law enforcement. An older married man with a child, Miller's association with Patty was questionable at best. Yet he was the last person known to have seen her alive-and the suspect police continued to circle back toward.After nothing but false sightings and rumors, the case was moved to the backburner-where it stayed. As decades crept by, reality sunk in: Patty Desmond was never coming back. Then, a tiny crack unleashed a flood of information, and a mystery that had never quite been forgotten was solved.

From Big Wheels to Power Wheels, tricycles to bicycles, getting your own set of wheels was a right of passage in childhood. Your new rims opened up a world of possibilities and autonomous freedom, rolling down the street to meet up with “the gang” in the woods, at a field, or at a friend's house - a pile of bikes already strewn across the front yard. Ride back with us to the 1980s to explore the origins of some of the most popular children's summer rides, and how these helped sculpt the summer culture of the most radically-rolling decade in history.   -- Can I Borrow Your Notes? --  Who Invented the Greatest Toy in History?!

Repost N4L 036: "Vitamin N" by Richard Louv

Richard Louv, co-founder of the San Diego-based Children & Nature Network, author Richard Louv adds Vitamin N to his growing list of books encouraging us to get outside. Aimed especially at families eager to share nature with their kids, Louv's practical guidebook offers "500 Ways to Enrich the Health & Happiness of Your Family & Community." All are appropriate for Earth Day, but they're also fitting throughout the year. Through his 2008 landmark book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, Louv brought international attention to a backyard crisis. We are unnaturally detached from our natural surroundings. A decade later, this clarion call to parents, policymakers, and pediatricians continues to resonate. Sadly, society still suffers from obesity, attention disorders, and depression. Fortunately, however, Louv's message has galvanized an international back-to-nature campaign to “Leave No Child Inside.” City folks inclined to develop an adversarial relationship with nature find Louv's ideas comforting. For instance, dirt can strengthen immune systems; sticks are perhaps the world's oldest toys; sunshine and water are for our use and pleasure. Louv invites these urbanites to step beyond their world of concrete and hand sanitizer, and, instead, gather courage as they build resilience and new outdoor skills.  Following Louv's charge to return to nature, adults report regaining their own sense of wonder. Those stepping outside are feeling a greater sense of work-life balance and freedom from frenzied family schedules. (For more ideas aimed at adults, see The Nature Principle: Reconnecting with Life in a Virtual Age by Richard Louv.)   Just how much "Vitamin N" do we need? Louv believes “Some is good, and more is better.” BUY Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life Please consider donating to Nonfiction4Life by visiting our Patreon page.
