Reviews for Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies: A Primer
“Although it does not reveal a prescriptive path for interdisciplinary work, for our group, this volume served as a valuable catalyst for thinking about interdisciplinary research. We look forward to future conversations that build on Öberg’s examples of how to navigate problem-oriented, interdisciplinary research.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 September 2012)
