Evert Van De Vliert

Opis

Based on a decade of innovative research Van de Vliert argues climate and affluence influence each other's impact on culture.

Recenzje

"...Climate, Affluence, and Culture would be of particular interest to those in organisational, social, or environmental psychology; it could also appeal to a broad range of academics and researchers in psychology, economics, management, cultural studies, or community development... Dr. Van de Vliert does call our attention to the daunting issues of climate change and poverty, and maintains that focusing on either exclusively will bring only limited improvements..."
