A good example of a discipline where humanists (specifically, historians) are formulating many of the initiatives and then proceeding apace with "Naturwissenschaftler" is archaeology. Any team worth its spit has "hard" archaeologists, philologists, art historians, biologists, and geologists on hand and involved at various stages of the project.
Enjoyed the distinction between "dissertation" and "book" - fair to say that most academic monographs serve the purpose of the former, no? I for one am very interested in probing the stuffing and vomit bespeckling the souls of my colleagues and forebears. My ruminations on them are called "footnotes."
