Bridging Divides offers a first-hand account of the origins of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, an interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign devoted to leading-edge research in the physical sciences, computation, engineering, biology, behavior, cognition, and neuroscience. The book follows the progress of the Beckman Institute's creation, from the initial conceptualization of a large, multi-disciplinary institute; through proposal formulation; to the architectural design and actual construction of its state-of-the-art building, made possible by the largest gift made to any public university at the time: a $40 million contribution from Illinois alumnus and founder of Beckman Instruments, Inc., Arnold O. Beckman and his wife Mabel M. Beckman. Theodore L. Brown, the founding director of the Beckman Institute, brings an insider's personal perspective on its conception and its early operations. The evolution of a physical facility that matched a developing sense of what multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research might be was a vital ingredient in the Institute's development. In addition, because the Institute represented a dramatic departure from traditional university organization, many challenges involving its administration and faculty had to be overcome. A celebration of the Beckman Institute's first twenty years of operation since the building's completion in 1989, Bridging Divides provides an informative look back at the history of this groundbreaking interdisciplinary research center. The book also includes forewords by Stanley O. Ikenberry, former president of the University of Illinois, and Richard H. Herman, chancellor of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Die von Japan nach dem Kriege veranlaBte umfangreiche Einfuhr auslandischer Tech nologie wird allgemein als eine der wichtigsten Ursachen des schnellen wirtschaftlichen Wiederaufbaus und des nunmehr schon zwei Jahrzehnte wahrenden iiberdurchschnitt lich hohen wirtschaftlichen Wachstums betrachtet. Wenn Japan seine yom Krieg schwer angeschlagene Wirtschaft rasch wieder in Gang bringen, seine Bevolkerung aus eigener Kraft ernahren und deren Lebensstandard erhohen wollte, war es auf dies en Weg angewiesen, denn durch die vorangegangenen Jahre der Isolierung von der iibri gen Welt befand sich das Land nach 1945 in einem gewaltigen technischen Riickstand, den es aus eigener Kraft nicht iiberwinden konnte. Seine Eigenforschung war - trotz hervorragender Einzelleistungen bei einer Reihe naturwissenschaftlich-technischer Ge biete - in der ganzen Breite weder ausbildungs- noch ausriistungsmaBig in der Lage, eine solche Aufgabe zu bewaltigen. Sie ist erst zehn oder fiinfzehn Jahre spater, nach Konsolidierung der allgemeinen Verhaltnisse und Festigung ihrer Grundlagen, allmah lich zu einer eigenschopferischen Aktivitat groBeren Stils herangereift. Man muBte sich also das fiir den Wiederaufbau und die Modernisierung der Wirtschaft benotigte tech nische Wissens-und Erfahrensgut aus dem Ausland beschaffen, und man hat dies dann auch in groBziigiger Weise getan. Bereits anfangs der sechziger Jahre waren fast aIle bedeutenderen japanischen Wirtschaftsunternehmen Vertragspartner auslandischer Fir men, die ihnen den Zugang zu den neuesten technischen Entwicklungen und deren Nut zung ermoglichten."
