Synopsis
How do scientists persuade colleagues from diverse fields to cross the disciplinary divide, risking their careers in new interdisciplinary research programs? Why do some attempts to inspire such research win widespread acclaim and support, while others do not? In Shaping Science with Rhetoric, Leah Ceccarelli addresses such questions through close readings of three scientific monographs in their historical contexts-Theodosius Dobzhansky's Genetics and the Origin of Species (1937), which inspired the "modern synthesis" of evolutionary biology; Erwin Schr dinger's What Is Life? (1944), which catalyzed the field of molecular biology; and Edward O. Wilson's Consilience (1998), a so far not entirely successful attempt to unite the social and biological sciences. She examines the rhetorical strategies used in each book and evaluates which worked best, based on the reviews and scientific papers that followed in their wake. Ceccarelli's work will be important for anyone interested in how interdisciplinary fields are formed, from historians and rhetoricians of science to scientists themselves., How do scientists persuade colleagues from diverse fields to cross the disciplinary divide, risking their careers in new interdisciplinary research programs?

    I'm so glad you're happy with the card. I'll definitely visit the museum of Greyhawk antiquities you're putting together. So many warm nostalgic feelings looking over that old D&D stuff -- wish I still had time, like when I was a kid collecting this stuff. It's good to know it's going somewhere that people will still be able to enjoy it.

    Everything was shipped and packed properly, as said, nm/vf. All the items were in place and packed properly, the box it came in was perfect too. The value of the items was good too, and the set 1-21 was as described by the seller and shipped that way. I will buy again from NFC.

    You're absolutely right - it was difficult to part with this one. I hope your gaming group gets a lot of rowdy enjoyment out of it, as mine did!
