忽略了这一部分工作。环境心理学的理论不仅有助于揭示那些已经致力于环保主义的人（手头的观众）的动机，而且还有助于揭示更广泛的人群的动机。虽然《生态身份》对环境领域做出了有益的贡献，但这本书却有一种精神分裂症般的关注。很难知道目标受众是谁。练习的描述似乎是针对教育工作者和那些对环境教育学感兴趣的人，而辅助材料（例如环境保护主义的历史，或生态公民材料）似乎是介绍性的，针对学生。也许这本书最好的用途是作为研究生课程的教科书，学生们在其中实际执行书中定义的练习。然而，如果本书从生态认同的角度更明确地关注环境教育，它可能会以稍微不同的形式对教育学做出杰出的贡献。我认为，关于教育的那一章应该是这本书的核心。总之，生态身份：成为一个反思性的环保主义者是对环保主义文献的一个有趣的贡献。它在两个主要方面是有用的。对于那些想要反思自己与环境关系的人来说，它具有广泛的相关性，作为一种环境冲突的自助书籍。对我来说，它唤起了我对环境的许多个人感受和价值观，这些感受和价值观在过去几十年里形成了我的身份，并导致了我在景观设计领域的职业生涯。其次，课堂练习是最强大的martinashow的贡献。（我承认作为一名教育工作者，我有一些偏见。）虽然探索我们在自然界中的位置可能是一个孤独的追求，但这本书让我相信，我们最深刻的一些见解是在一起参与激励讨论和活动的团体中实现的。沿着沿着这些路线，这本书也挑起了一个艰难的看看我们如何与学生谁是考虑他们的位置在环境专业。我希望这本书要么以更强的方式整合这两个目标（和受众），要么更直接地关注环境教育中的生态身份。唐娜湖埃里克森是密歇根大学自然资源与环境学院的景观设计副教授。
neglects this body of work. Theories of environmental psychology help reveal the motivations not only of those already committed to environmentalism (the audience at hand), but of the broader population as well. While Ecological Identity makes a useful contribution to the environmental field, the book suffers from a schizophrenic focus. It is hard to know who the intended audience is. The descriptions of exercises seem aimed at educators and those interested in environmental pedagogy, while the supporting material (the history of environmentalism, or the ecological citizenship material, for instance) seems introductory and aimed at the student. Perhaps the best use of this book is as a textbook for a graduate course, in which students actually perform the exercises defined in the book. However, this book might have made an outstanding contribution to pedagogy in a slightly different form if it had more clearly focused on environmental education from the perspective of ecological identity. I believe that the chapter on education should have formed the heart of the book. In summary, Ecological Identity: Becoming a Reflective Environmentalist is an interesting contribution to the literature on environmentalism. It is useful in two main ways. It has broad relevance to those wanting to reflect on their own relationship to the environment, as a kind of self-help book for the environmentally conflicted. For me, it recalled many of the personal feelings and values about the environment that formed my identity over the decades and led to a career in landscape architecture. Secondly, the classroom exercises are the most powerful of Thomashow’s contributions. (I admit to some bias as an educator.) Although exploring our place in nature can be a solitary pursuit, this book convinces me that some of our most profound insights are realized in groups that engage together in stimulating discussion and activity. Along these lines, the book also provokes a hard look at how we relate to students who are contemplating their place in the environmental professions. I wished for the book to either integrate these two objectives (and audiences) in a stronger way or to focus more directly on ecological identity in environmental education. Donna L.
