"Making sense of one's environment is a largely unconscious
concern. This collection of essays brings light to bear on a number
of interdependent variables which lead to value judgements, which,
in turn, might lead to important social decisions regarding such
matters as the siting of schools, hospitals, housing, workplaces,
recreational facilities." --Aslib Book Guide
"An attempt to bring structure and theoretical focus to a
fragmented field. Garling and Evans have taken a significant step."
--Richard B. Barnes, Contemporary Psychology
