Overall, this is a reasonable, basic chapter which could be improved by drilling more deeply into the central topic - emotional implications and applications of the BH. This could be achieved by abbreviating background info about the BH, BH and health (the BH and stress part is helpful), environmental preferences, conservation attitudes, etc. and spending more time explaining theory and research about BH and emotion (and different types of emotion). ART is more about the cognitive benefits of exposure to nature. SRT (Stress Recovery Theory) would be more relevant to the current chapter. Crucially, the Conclusion doesn't even mention emotion .
For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below.
Feel free to make ongoing changes to the chapter if you wish to address any of these comments or make other improvements.
The chapter focuses on describing the BH and then its connection to health, stress, environment preference, and conservation attitudes. However, this doesn't sufficiently address the topic, which is about BH effects on emotion and how this can be applied to improving our lives.
Abbreviate the general theoretical material and provide references and links to further information. This would allow more space to apply the theories to the specific topic in more detail.
Several potentially relevant research studies are cited, but the chapter could be strengthened by highlighting and focusing on the studies about nature exposure and emotion.
Some statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the method.
When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
