Environmental Guilt and Shame

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Environmental Guilt and Shame by Sarah E. Fredericks, published by Oxford University Press in 2021. This compelling hardback edition spans 238 pages and delves into the complex emotions surrounding environmental responsibility. Fredericks examines how guilt and shame manifest in everyday life, particularly in the United States, and poses critical ethical questions about individual and collective accountability.

This book invites readers to reflect on their own environmental impact and the societal pressures that shape our behaviors. A must-read for anyone interested in environmental sciences and the psychology of guilt, Environmental Guilt and Shame is an essential addition to your bookshelf.
