It provides impressive evidence of the con­ cern that workers in environmental psychology and environmental design are displaying for the child as a user of the designed environment and indi­ cates a recognition of the need to apply theory and findings from develop­ mental and environmental psychology to the design of environments for children. This seems to me to mark a shift in focus and concern from the earlier days of the interaction between environmental designers and psy­ chologists that occurred some two decades ago and provided the impetus for the establishment of environmental psychology as a subdiscipline. Whether because children-though they are consumers of designed environments­ are not the architect's clients or because it seemed easier to work with adults who could be asked to make ratings of environmental spaces and comment on them at length, a focus on the child in interaction with en­ vironments was comparatively slow in developing in the field of environ­ ment and behavior. As the chapters of the present volume indicate, that situation is no longer true today, and this is a change that all concerned with the well-being and optimal functioning of children will welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-03-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781468452297\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4684-5227-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254.0cm x178.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 346.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44421804458124,"sku":"9781468452297","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781468452297.jpg?v=1756247522","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781468452297","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
