Case Studies in Interdisciplinary Research
Σύνοψη του βιβλίου "Case Studies in Interdisciplinary Research"
This book is intended as a "stand alone" volume that (1) demonstrates the need for using an explicitly interdisciplinary approach to problems that span multiple disciplines, (2) applies interdisciplinary theory and best practices to a particular set of problems, (3) shows the importance of first creating common ground among conflicting expert views before performing integration, and (4) produces new understandings of these problems that are practical, purposeful, and deeply informed by disciplinary expertise.
