Description
Book SynopsisI thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as it has taken me on a journey through time, across the globe and through multiple disciplines. Indeed, we need to be thinking about these concepts and applying them every day to do our jobs better.
Farah Magrabi, Macquarie University, Australia
The reader will find intriguing not only the title but also the content of the book. I'm also pleased that public health, and even more specifically epidemiology has an important place in this ambitious discussion.
Elena Andresen, Oregon Health & Science University, USA
This book is very well written and addresses an important topic. It presents many reasons why basic scientists/researchers should establish collaborations and access information outside traditional means and not limit thinking but rather expand such and perhaps develop more innovative and translational research ventures that will advance science and not move it laterally.
Gerald Pepe, Eastern Virginia
