About The Book

In Environmental Problem Solving, Alan Miller rethinks the conventional approaches to addressing environmental issues by incorporating valuable insights from psychology, political sociology, and ecology. This unique blend of disciplines offers readers a more adaptive and holistic approach to solving complex environmental problems. The book highlights the critical need for environmental managers to understand not only the ecological aspects of environmental issues but also the psychological and sociopolitical factors that influence human behavior.

With its 239 pages of well-researched content, the book provides numerous case studies that illustrate how theory can be practically applied to real-world environmental challenges. These case studies are particularly useful for technical professionals, scientists, policymakers, and planners, offering them practical solutions grounded in theory. Written by Alan Miller, a Professor of Psychology at the University of New Brunswick, this work serves as a crucial resource for those interested in tackling the pressing environmental problems of our time through an integrated and adaptive approach.
