Temas básicos em psicologia ambiental
Este livro é fruto do esforço dos professores e pesquisadores reunidos no Grupo de Trabalho em Psicologia Ambiental da Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Psicologia (GT-PsiAmbiental/ ANPEPP). Reunindo-se desde 2000, o grupo constitui uma espécie de observatório que cuida, detecta carências e empreende esforços para a formalização e divulgação da Psicologia Ambiental em nosso país, tendo a cooperação entre colegas e o incentivo à publicação bibliográfica como suas principais ações.

Arctic Cinemas and the Documentary Ethos
Beginning with Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North (1922), the majority of films that have been made in, about, and by filmmakers from the Arctic region have been documentary cinema.

This book offers a thorough analysis of the concept of the Arctic as it is represented in documentary filmmaking, while challenging the notion of "T...
Handbook of Environmental Psychology and Quality of Life Research

Renewable Energy and the Public
Throughout the world, the threat of climate change is pressing governments to accelerate the deployment of technologies to generate low carbon electricity or heat. But this is frequently leading to controversy, as energy and planning policies are revised to support new energy sources or technologies (e.g. offshore wind, tidal, bioenergy or hydrogen energy) and communities face the prospect of unfamiliar, often large-scale energy technologies being sited near to their homes.

In this volume, renowned researchers from around the world and from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, architecture, design, and urban planning, take a global perspective in looking at the implications of culture and cultural differences for our quality of life and the way in which people interact. These implications are illustrated using real-world examples. The contributions...
