Understanding environmental psycology

The book by Robert Gifford Environmental Psychology: Principles and Practice introduces the concept of environmental psychology in an easy and readable manner. To me, it was the first text that revealed that such a topic existed, and made me understand its importance. Although both psychology and the environment, in particular the latter's aesthetic component is difficult to cast into numerical form, the text is no offending to engineers or the "numeric" people. Rather, it makes a seamless connection between psychology, the environment and aesthetics.
