Reviews

This book, with chapters contributed by leading experts from multiple networks and organisations, takes science integration a stage further by reporting on the extensive work which has been done in recent years to organise and integrate knowledge in the sciences, social sciences and humanities ... It should prove a useful source of information for those keen to foster consensus building and networking in national and international political affairs. Chemistry World
