Nano comes from the Greek nanos (νᾶνος), meaning “dwarf”, and with the influx of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology into society today, many industries could be “standing on the shoulders of dwarfs”.
A recent addition to the RSC Nanoscience and Nanotechnology series, “Nano-Society” examines how far this technology has influenced every day life. The author, Michael Berger, is manager of the popular Nanowerk news website, and the book reflects the easy, readable style found on the website.
This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to get the Zeitgeist on nanotechnology, from the lay reader to professional nanotechnologist.
