Abstract:
Solving environmental problems requires a scientific understanding of public attitudes. Bringing together theory and practice, 'Navigating Environmental Attitudes' provides a realistic understanding of why and how attitudes matter when it comes to environmental problems; and how, by balancing natural with social science, we can step back from false assumptions and unproductive, frustrating programs to work toward fostering successful, effective environmental action.
