The importance of nature in our lives has never been more important than during recent times. But nature is more than just landscapes, even though pleasant landscapes are also critical for perfect health.

The phenomenon of humans benefitting from soft fascination with certain types of wild and tame animals has been termed Zoodulcis. Find out how this intersection between humans and animals can prevent and even reverse certain ailments from exhausted attention and memory, to sad or angry moods, to physical and emotional healing from trauma. Scientifically based with thorough research, yet accessible to anyone who enjoys nonfiction works. Animals lovers will be especially pleased. From college students interested in Attention Restoration Theory, to parents who admired Richard Louv's work Last Child in the Woods, to veteran's wondering if pets really do assist with symptoms of PTSD, this work is for you.
