Ervin H. Zube was a primary force among environment-behavior researchers, particularly those who helped develop the area of landscape perception and assessment. In this commemorative essay, the authors highlight some of Zube’s significant contributions to environment-behavior studies and identify a set of his publications that has had an impact on the field. In particular, they examine how Zube, Sell, and Taylor’s article “Landscape Perception: Research, Application and Theory” has helped shape subsequent research in landscape perception and suggest how environment-behavior researchers might build on its achievements.
