Environmental Psychology for Design

I really like this textbook. I am a Human Ecologist and really appreciate the work as a source of reference and for valuable information.

Although I acknowledge and respect the time and effort this book required, I struggled to give it three stars because the book falls short of the intended purpose stated at the bottom of Preface page xiii was states that the "book is intended for professional designers and students ... ". As a long-time practicing architect with extensive design experience and post-graduate credentials in the field of 'Enviornment and Behavior', the book was a disappointment to me. On the other hand, I do think that it has value to those considering various fields of study while still in high school or perhaps the first year of college and have an interest in the social sciences and/or specific areas of design such as architecture or interior design. This book offers a very broad over-view of the design implications and applications of environmental psychology, but not at the level needed for practicing designers or architects.

For a School text book this is rather easy read, especially since i am a slow reader, and very interesting and easy to understand. As well with being a great paper back book not too big so that way it is easier to carry from one place to the other. Not to mention that the price of ti was way cheaper then if i were to buy it from my book store.

This book was an amazing book. I only like to read material in which I take interest. Psychology was not a favorite subject for me (I actually dreaded it). After taking this class and reading this book I want to minor in this course. Easy read! Even better, the author was my professor so I had the best of both worlds. Its not a book you'll use one. I often refer to it.

School book, what more can you say.

this book was for a class. it arrived on time and in the condition it was stated to be in. what more can you say about a class book
