Journal Article
Nature Rx: Nothing New Under the Sun?
2019
Overview
Crnic and Kondo (p. 1371) examined two public health interventions. separated by more than a centuiva that took very similar approaches to very different arrays of health issues affecting urban children. The clear similarities raise a perennial question: is history repeating itself? If so. is that because we failed to learn history's lessons, or does history inevitably follow a cyclical pattern regardless of'our attentiveness to its lessons? Perhaps the repetition is mere illusion. no more than the form of story the authors chose. These meta-historical questions may best be answered by a robust exploration of the yawning gulf of decades between the two moments Crnic and Kondo examined. Of course, a full accounting is far beyond the scope of their short comparative essay. and although it is even less reasonable to expect this article to fill that void. I offer. in the crudest outline. some of the most salient factors reinforcing the turning away from nature-centered approaches to health a century ago. a glimpse at factorssustainingthat indifference for more than seven decades. and the changes in the last 30 years that rekindled interest in the power of nature contact in health promotion.
