Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an introduction to psychology applied to environmental problems, this book is written for the introductory psychology student, the environmental studies student and for the layperson who may wonder if psychology has anything useful to say about mounting ecological difficulties. The opening chapter outlines the main features of environmental problems and argues that becuase they have been caused by human behaviours, beliefs, decisions and values, psychology is crucial for finding solutions to them. Chapter two discusses some historical contributions in Western intellectual thought to contemporary views about nature. Chapters three to seven each examine a particular field or theory in psychology and apply it to a selected environmental problem. Chapter eight summarizes and compares these five psychological approaches and analyses where psychology has been and where the author beleives it should go in order to make stronger and more potent contributions to solving environmental problems.
