The volume provides a fresh look at the nature of scientific collaboration in its rigorous examination of a broad range of partnerships, including homosexual and non-traditional relationships, across the disciplines and over a period of two centuries The book newly analyzes the productive infrastructure of modern science, with particular attention to discipline-formation within collaborative contexts outside conventional places like the academy The chapters illuminate key advances in chemistry, physics, genetics, and sociology in terms of collaborative research practices The volume contributes to new trends in science studies in its attention to the visual and textual cultures of science, geographies of science, and class and gender dynamics
