Summary

Given the complexity of science and its hyperspecialisation, the scientist is increasingly faced with the need to refer to fields other then the one in which he or she is specialised. The life sciences are a good example of this phenomenon because they are undergoing a major expansion while facing strong criticism that forces them to adapt to a new reality.
The authors of this book have met with this challenge by going beyond the limits of their knowledge to confront scientists in other fields (chemistry, ecology, geography, history, the environment, climatology) with whom they can address common issues and create methods to be shared by all of them. They thus help us to more effectively define to the concept of interdisciplinarity that is, more than others, based on experience. They also look into the reasons why interdisciplinarity is not yet widely applied in major research institutions.
