Review

?This book is an interesting change from the usual run of introductions to environmental psychology. It deals interesting and thoroughly with a wide range of issues, and generally the many authors present their views and accounts of research in a clear and easy-to-follow manner.? (Psychology Learning & Teaching, 1 November 2013)

Claridad en la exposición

Reviewed in Spain on 28 January 2019

Posiblemente el mejor libro base para aquellas personas interesadas en el ámbito de Environmental Psychology. Escrito en un lenguaje ameno y bien estructurado, ofrece un barniz sobre diversidad de aspectos (quizás algún tema se podría eliminar y añadirse otros como el consumo de productos ecológicos).Hay una reciente versión actualizada.

Excellent introduction into environmental psychology but not so much into behaviour change

Reviewed in Germany on 10 August 2015

Verified Purchase

I was mainly searching a book to support an introductory class to environmental psychology. This book appeared to me the best option, because it gives a very good introduction into the field of environmental psychology. Is it well structured and each chapter presents the work of a group of environmental psychologists, which was prominent in the first decade of the 2000s. Thus, students get a good and vivid impression of what environmental psychology is about.
On the other hand, the drawback of this approach is that certain areas are rather weakly presented, while some rather exotic areas, which are not that relevant for an introduction, are presented in too much detail. Particularly, the section on behaviour change is rather weak and someone who is not that much interested in the academic field of environmental psychology but rather in how to get people to behave in a more pro-environment way, might rather consider a different book (e.g., from areas with a more developed theoretical and technological basis regarding behaviour change, such as health psychology).
Besides the content, form and language are very well suited for students. The chapters are short but with a high information density and, yet, very easy and pleasant to read. Glossaries help the novice while suggestions for further reading support the interested students. There are even review questions included in each chapter. Thus, I will use this book to accompany my classes on environmental psychology but, for the behaviour change part, I will use different material.

Book came in great condition and on time. Was worried that it would be tore up, but it wasn't. I got it in great shape

Good introduction to a great topic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2014

Verified Purchase

This is an easily accessible and interesting book with chapters of good length to keep a reader engaged in the topic. The level is introductory and this is great for undergraduates. There is an emphasis on environmental or 'green psychology' and some of the more theoretical content within this subject is not covered in this book. I also find the summary, review activities at the end of each chapter really useful and a good way to engage learners.
