Beschreibung:
Environmental psychology is an increasingly important area of research, focusing on the individual and social factors responsible for many critical human responses to the physical environment. With such rapid growth, the main theoretical strands have often been left unclear and their implications have been underdeveloped. This essential and stimulating book redresses the balance.
