Our actions reflect this when we turn to beloved pets for companionship, vacation in spots of natural splendor, or spend hours working in the garden. Yet we are also a technological species and have been since we fashioned tools out of stone. Thus one of this century's central challenges is to embrace our kinship with a more-than-human world-\"our totemic self\"-and integrate that kinship with our scientific culture and technological selves.This book takes on that challenge and proposes a reenvisioned ecopsychology. Contributors consider such topics as the innate tendency for people to bond with local place; a meaningful nature language; the epidemiological evidence for the health benefits of nature interaction; the theory and practice of ecotherapy; Gaia theory; ecovillages; the neuroscience of perceiving natural beauty; and sacred geography. Taken together, the essays offer a vision for human flourishing and for a more grounded and realistic environmental psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707758805280,"sku":"NEW0262517787","price":32.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71kXRnzUrFL.jpg?v=1779393584","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ecopsychology-science-totems-and-the-technological-species-0262517787","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
