Books by Erik Shonstrom

The author once fell backwards, on skis, at night, into a latrine during a snowstorm in the Rocky Mountains. That's just one of the stories in this 20-year tale of wilderness education. Onwards and Upwards! aims to entertain and edify, captivate and compel. It's also laugh-out-loud funny, with echoes of Patrick F. McManus and Bill Heavey.

The Wisdom of the Body uses embodied cognition studies to challenge conventional approaches to learning, and offers compelling examples of how an embodied approach to education could revolutionize schools.
