Psychology of Sustainability Reviews

In this brilliantly structured textbook, Robert Jones delves into the aspects of human psychology that underlie contemporary issues in sustainability. He couples his passion for improving the human condition with a deep understanding of the psyche, asking the crucial question: How can psychology help us understand and adapt to a rapidly changing world? I commend this text as an excellent introduction to the field of environmental psychology.-Neal Ashkanasy, Professor of Management, University of Queensland, Australia

This is a big book written in an easily accessible style, suitable for both psychology students and others with an interest in the field. A wonderful resource packed with up-to-date research on the major theories in psychology, all applied to the vexing question of how we can create a more sustainable society.-Niki Harre, author of Psychology for a Better World: Strategies to Inspire Sustainability, and Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Auckland, New Zealand
