Dr Sue Thomas, former Professor of New Media with thirty years' experience in internet research, explains how technology connects us to the natural world.

Howard Rheingold, US-based critic, writer and teacher, gave 5 stars to 'Nature and Wellbeing in the Digital Age'. He writes: "Humans are addicted to apps & devices engineered to attract & distract our attention, but we also are soothed by nature. We're all conflicted about the amount of time we spend online, looking at our phones, and most people I know are increasingly ambivalent. So much of the critical writing about this dilemma is about weaning yourself, logging off. I like Thomas' book because it strives for a middle ground -- how to appreciate the natural world as a kind of antidote to the techno-trance".
