An important book by researchers from across disciplines
introducing varying ideas on research, important in these days of
inter-disciplinary and multi-centered investigation.
The book introduces academics to new areas of endeavour and encourages researchers and students to think broadly when devising their studies. Linking chapters present the contributions in an historical and theoretical context, identifying the themes between the approaches, and encourages new thinking about old problems. Includes contributions from leading researchers across the quantitative-qualitative spectrum, from marine biology to spirituality.
With funding under increasing pressure, the different views will help departments form new alliances and encourage interdisciplinary working.
