PSE, as well as the reasons why it continues to be restrained by traditional power asymmetries and status hierarchies within the disciplines. Despite these two very minor blemishes, Investigating Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Theory and Practices Across Disciplines remains a very worthwhile read. This is true not only for scholars with a specific interest in interdisciplinary research, but also, for those with broader interests in science and technology studies (STS) and current developments in PSE. This edited volume scrutinizes takenfor-granted ideas that serve as the foundation for the incessant calls for interdisciplinary collaboration that are actively shaping the structure of PSE. It accomplishes this task while remaining fairly impartial, something that should appeal to both advocates and sceptics of interdisciplinarity. While the editors, as well as some authors, at times express skepticism towards certain pro-interdisciplinarity ideas, the discussion never dovetails into a dogmatic dismissal of interdisciplinary collaboration. Beyond such laudable characteristic, the volume also offers a high degree of diversity with respect to methodology, ranging from bibliometric analysis to ethnography. The same is true with respect to theoretical paradigms, with authors employing perspectives ranging from organizational theories to more traditional constructivist approaches. As such, there is likely something in this book for scholars operating within a variety of traditions and disciplines. Lastly, the entire collection is highly accessible, written at a level that should be easily digested by early stage graduate students. It achieves this without obfuscating the inherent nuance of the issues at hand, and thus, will likely remain of interest to specialists on the topic. This should render it a popular book among instructors wishing to introduce students to the fascinating issues associated with interdisciplinarity.
