The false dichotomy is particularly\nimportant because solving the daunting challenges of the twenty-first\ncentury—such as drug-resistant bacteria, scarcity of natural resources, and\nclimate change—requires global citizens armed with robust, complex abilities\nwho can integrate interdisciplinary concepts with bold technologies.\nContributors to this book explore ways in which this dichotomy can be overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137567383\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-56739-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 126\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44753400660108,"sku":"9781137567383","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137567383.jpg?v=1776698686","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137567383","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
