Succinct and practical, this important book provides instructors and students entry-level interdisciplinary courses and thematic programs with a comprehensive introduction to interdisciplinary studies. Drawing on recent advances in the field's burgeoning literature on learning and assessment, it introduces students to the cognitive process that interdisciplinarians use to approach complex problems. To help readers develop skills they will use not only in other courses but also throughout life, the book introduces the principles of the field, prepares readers to produce quality work, facilitates effectiveness in working with topics, problems, or themes that span multiple disciplines, and covers the first key steps in the interdisciplinary research process. -- Back cover
