Beskrivning

This book provides guidelines for those pursuing landscape projects based on integrative concepts -- interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity -- whether they are members of an integrative research team or individuals working on a problem that demands integration. They must define terminology, choose appropriate methodologies, overcome epistemological barriers and cope with the high expectations of some stakeholders while encouraging others to participate at all.
