| Abstract: | As an anthropologist who has been working with resource management issues for more than 40 years, E. N. Anderson was pleased to see the excellent series of articles on environmental sustainability in the May 2000 issue of the American Psychologist. Stuart Oskamp deserves praise for organizing this series. The article by Paul Stern (see record 2000-15413-011), in particular, is one of the best and most original that Anderson has ever read in the environmental social science literature. Environmentalists need all the help they can get from psychology. Anderson provides several of his own comments, based on six years' field work in cultures around the world as well as on some knowledge of the conservation literature.
