Description
Psychology for Sustainability applies psychological science to so-called "environmental" problems that manifest when human behavior disrupts and degrades natural systems.
Psychology for Sustainability is a beautifully rendered text packed with the information that every student needs. It offers a broad scope for understanding human psychology in relation to the planet, from history to social movements, and includes actions students can take. It provides an inside guide to the psychology of environmentally relevant behavior, reviewing experimental methods, relevant existing measures and then suggests interventions for behavior change. It’s an inspiring book, providing just enough alarming information to motivate the reader while showing specific steps that readers can take to alter humanity’s relationship with the rest of nature. It is an eye-opening, thought provoking and energizing book. Highly recommended!
Darcia Narvaez, Professor Emerita, University of Notre Dame
"This impressive fifth edition provides an introduction to the psychology of how we got to our climate emergency, and to the ecopsychology of how to respond. Informative and well-written. This text is a contribution toward the flourishing of all people, and all life."
