"This revised and expanded edition reflects the burgeoning interest in, and substantial research on, all aspects of interdisciplinarity. It's key contribution is a more complete treatment of integration, particularly how to integrate insights from diverse perspectives. Allen F. Repko provides an easy-to-follow decision-making process, highlightiing the foundational and complementary role of the disciplines in interdisciplinary work. He includes numerous examples from the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and applied fields to illustrate how to create common ground and how to construct a more comprehensive interdisciplinary understanding and reflect on, test and communicate it. The book is suited for active learning and problem-based pedagogical approaches as well as for team teaching and other more traditional strategies."--Publisher.
