EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION | The study of dynamic collaborative relationships, which have been the basis of many important scientific theories and artistic creations, has become increasingly popular among psychologists and social scientists. At a lecture presented at The New York Public Library's Science, Industry and Business Library, Vera John-Steiner, a leading scholar of creativity and socio-cultural studies, looks at famous scientific collaborations, including those between Einstein and Marcel Grossman and Marie and Pierre Curie. She defines the characteristics of collaborative relationships and examines the challenges particular to collaborative work.
