Title: The Child's Environment (Readings in Environmental Psychology, Vol 1)
Description: Since its inception, the Journal of Environmental Psychology has demonstrated its pre-eminence through publishing original, innovative papers. By bringing them together in one volume, ready access has been provided to the first-hand accounts of a range of explorations that are central to the growth and development of environmental psychology itself.

This volume of papers drawn from the journal brings together a number of studies that explore children's knowledge and experience of the environment. By bringing together these papers with an introduction from their editor, Christopher Spencer, the reader is provided with a valuable overview of some of the most significant studies in this important area of environmental psychology.

This book will 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 will find it a useful introduction to that growing field. For those who know environmental psychology and the Journal of Environmental Psychology, it will provide a valuable compendium of key papers that have laid the basis for future research into children and their environment.
