Exploring the interaction between people and their environments, this book is well-referenced with empirical studies and provides information to help readers become more appreciative observers of the relationship between the physical environment and human behavior. Using a conversational style, McAndrew discusses unique topics such as zoo and museum environments; cognitive mapping in the blind; attachment to the places we live; the impact of war on the environment; natural environments; work environments; and seasonal affective disorders. The book integrates information from the disciplines of art, literature, architecture, mythology, and history with current environmental concepts. The historical roots of modern mans common attitudes about the environment are contrasted with those of Native Americans.
