Editorial address,
Giuseppe Carrus Welcome to this issue number 40 of the Bulletin of People-environment Studies. This is the second issue published in the new electronic format. As editorial team, we hope that the IAPS members will keep on appreciating this new format. So far, the reactions to the first issue have been positive and supportive, as it emerged from many informal talks that we could have during the last months within many of you.
In the present issue, as usual, you will find a good mix of contribution from different disciplinary fields, treating different topics, from different countries and continents, and from young and less young scholars.
You will also find important news about the forthcoming 23rd IAPS Conference in Timisoara. We hope that many will attend and enjoy the conference, the young researcher workshop, and all the related events. It will certainly be another great IAPS Conference, in an undoubtedly fascinating town and country.
The next issue of the Bulletin will be dedicated to a special theme of “Places for democracy”, which was discussed in the occasion of the last Board meeting held in June 2013 in A Coruña. All the IAPS community will soon receive news and updates on this project, with a more detailed call for contributions. Let me close this address by remembering, with sadness, the departure of our sweet friend and colleague Ana Maritza Landázuri. This is a great loss, for her family, for the environmental psychology community in Mexico and Latin America, and for IAPS at large. Her closest friends and colleagues at UNAM, and those of us, who had the luck of knowing and meeting Ana Maritza in the occasion of various conferences during these years, will certainly keep the remembrance of an extraordinary person. We dedicate this issue of the Bulletin to the memory of Ana Maritza.
Also, this issue contains interesting reports from past IAPS events, book reviews and announcements, research projects reports, and news about the networks, all coming from key figures in our association.
