Winner of the 2000 Book Award from the Moral Development \u0026amp; Education Group of the American Educational Research Association  Urgent environmental problems call for vigorous research and theory on how humans develop a relationship with nature. In a series of original research projects  Peter Kahn answers this call. For the past eight years  Kahn has studied children  young adults  and parents in diverse geographical locations  ranging from an economically impoverished black community in Houston to a remote village in the Brazilian Amazon. In these studies Kahn seeks answers to the following questions: How do people value nature  and how do they reason morally about environmental degradation? Do children have a deep connection to the natural world that gets severed by modern society? Or do such connections emerge  if at all  later in life  with increased cognitive and moral maturity? How does culture affect environmental commitments and sensibilities? Are there universal features in the human relationship with nature? Kahns empirical and theoretical findings draw on current work in psychology  biology  environmental behavior  education  policy  and moral development.  This scholarly yet accessible book will be of value to practitioners in the social science and environmental fields  as well as to informed generalists interested in environmental issues and children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276515958837,"sku":"ByrdShop_026211240X","price":96.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262112406.jpg?v=1780554254","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-human-relationship-with-nature-development-and-culture-9780262112406","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
