It's a voyage anyone interested in environmental issues needs to take."-- Robert B. In Navigating Environmental Attitudes, Thomas Heberlein helps us read the water and negotiate its hidden obstacles, explaining what attitudes are, how they change and influence behavior. New information, attitudes, and actions, it is conventionally assumed, will necessarily follow one from the other. Wildlife biologists, natural resource managers, conservation biologists - and anyone else trying to solve environmental problems - will learn a lot about attitudes, behaviors, and norms; and the fallacy of the Cognitive Fix."-- Stephen Russell Carpenter, Stephen Alfred Forbes Professor of Zoology, University of Wisconsin-Madison"Peo
Results of this study will be considered within Heberlein's (2012) behavior change guidelines which note the following factors as essential to broad based behavior change: identification of clear and specific behaviors, engagement of high status public leadership, identification of norms consistent with institutional values and adequate time to allow for ideas to evolve and expand." --Journal of Sustainability"Attitudes and their link to behavior have been of interest to environmental educators and researchers. This text should be required reading for any scholar in the environmental social sciences, and perhaps even those in the interdisciplinary environmental sciences." --Society and Natural Resources.

"Human attitudes and behavior in wildlife ecology" according to Tomas Willebrand. This book describes, with embarrassing clarity, several of the misconceptions and naivety on information, attitudes and behaviour that many of us natural scientists may have. One is the assumption of a strong relation between attitude and behaviour, and another is the power of information, which is treated in chapter (5) Educating the Public and Other . Great resource for the psychosocial components of outdoor recreation and related areas. Dale S. Petit Interesting and easy to follow format. Heberlein uses the analogy of river rafting and the sport's associated elements to explain the psychological components of the recreation literature. Highly recommended for academics and/or managers looking to better understand the minds of outdoor recreation users. A great source for our field!. "Great Read" according to ML. This is an entertainingly written informative book. Gives information we all should be aware of. For a nonfiction book, it keeps and catches one's interest really well!
