Hi David,
There's a new book by Richard Louv titled Last Child in the Woods,
that specifically addresses a new phenomenon he calls "nature deficit
disorder" (NDD). As for CD of desert and sea, check our web site
(http://www.wildsanctuary.com). Under "CDs" follow the links and
there are 90 MP3 samples of each title listed and from which you can
obtain the CDs if you like what you hear.

>Dear all
>
>Next week I start a new job teaching English to Austrian kids (10 -
>16 years old). For two hours a day it is an open book and I am able
>to choose a workshop for the kids to participate in.
>
>I am conscious of the fact that most people don't listen to what is
>around them. I would like to introduce them to natural sounds and
>thought that letting them listen to biophonies from around the world
>could be fun and rewarding for them. Obviously I would teach them
>the English to describe the sounds they are hearing.
>
>So I would be looking for the common and not so common natural
>environments. - if anyone can help please email me.
>
>Secondly, a friend of mine has a disabled child. I am in the
>process of putting a soundscape together mixed with "not so heavy"
>electroacoustic music for him. I have a few recordings of the
>desert and the sea but am looking for a few more. I want it to be
>gentle and soothing but also interesting.
>
>Again if anyone can help, please email me
>
>Many, many thanks in advance
