Description
"The Child's Environment" explores a number of studies on children's knowledge and experience of the environment. The reader obtains a valuable overview of some of the most significant studies in this important area of environmental psychology. This book should be of value to everyone who wishes to enhance their knowledge of children's experiences of the places in which they live. People who have not looked at environmental psychological studies before should find it a useful introduction to this growing field. For those who know environmental psychology and the "Journal of Environmental Psychology", it should provide a valuable compendium of key papers that have established the basis for future research on children and their environment.
