Series: Cognella Anthology Series for Teaching

"The Psychology of Sustainability: Understanding the Relationship between Self and Earth is a dynamic anthology that, through a uniquely psychological lens, provides students with insight into the connection between humans and their environment.

With each chapter, the author presents students with insight into the applicability of psychological concepts for holistically resolving sustainability problems. Articles that explore the psychological underpinnings of why we behave towards each other and Earth are included in each chapter, and the author's original material allows students to contextualize those readings and inspires their critical thinking.

Over the course of 11 chapters, students read about the relationship between human dignity and perceived responsibility to act sustainably, the interconnected nature of human ecology, and the effect of parenting, attachment, social value orientation on an individual's sustainability inclination, and more.

The second edition features a brand-new chapter titled ""Participatory Action Research: Improving Human Dignity through Research for Sustainability."" Additionally, Chapter 6 has been enhanced and now includes topical information on Fertile Crescent Phenomenon Theory.

The Psychology of Sustainability is an ideal text for courses in sustainability studies, sustainability science, environmental science, built environment, and psychology."
