Again, so much of the research in this otherwise well-written chapter simply missed the point of practitioner’s needs. We don’t care about personality differences, nor attitudes, lifestyles, reasoned Page 10 Population and Environmental Psychology Bulletin / APA Division 34 Vol. 29, No 3, Autumn, 2003 Division 34 on the www: http://web.uvic.ca/apadiv34 / page 10 action, planned behaviors etc. We just want to know how to design recycling bins and related information so as to instate and maintain a high degree of differentiated recycling behavior on site.

It is enthusiastic in the same sense that a letter home from Space Camp is, but it mostly resides on the same substantive level.

It seems that Chapters aimed to bridge the gap between conceptual frameworks for established environments and new ones ought to at least conceptually engage the new ones on their own terms. I personally think that many useful concepts of Environmental Psychology can make the transition, because Cyberspace inevitably carries with it the ecological space imperatives of our enduring biological heritage. But one would not guess this from the contents of these chapters, which seem more intent on impressing the old upon the new than constructively engaging emergent conceptual frames. That has been better done in the seminal and . . .
