Produktinformationen zu „Conservation Psychology (ePub)“
People are inseparable from natural ecosystems, and
understanding how people think about, experience, and interact with
nature is crucial for promoting environmental sustainability as
well as human well-being.
This is the new edition of what is now the leading textbook in
conservation psychology, the field that explores connections
between the study of human behavior and the achievement of
conservation goals. Completely
updated, this book summarizes theory and research on ways in which
humans experience nature; it explores people's conceptions of
nature and environmental problems, their relationship with nature,
and their moral lenses on nature; and examines ways to encourage
conservation-oriented behavior at both individual and societal
levels. Throughout, the authors integrate a wide body of research
demonstrating the role of psychology in promoting a more
sustainable relationship between humans and nature.
New sections cover human perceptions of environmental problems, new
examples of community-based conservation, and a "positive
psychology" perspective that emphasizes the relevance of
nature to human resilience. Additional references are to be found
throughout this edition along with some new examples and a
reorganisation of chapters in response to reader feedback.
This fascinating volume is used for teaching classes to senior
undergraduate and graduate students of Conservation Psychology,
Environmental Psychology and Conservation Science in departments of
Psychology, Geography, Environmental Science, and Ecology and
Evolution. It is equally suitable as a starting point for other
researchers and practitioners - psychologists, conservation
biologists, environmental scientists, and policy-makers - needing
to know more about how psychological research can inform their
conservation work.
