Mel I. Mendelson Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA

“… a great combination of two key disciplines in the coming quarter of this century: biotechnology and nanotechnology. This will be a good guidebook for the academic adventurer as well as a bible for the pioneer in the engineering and scientific field.”

—Hideyuki Kanematsu, Suzuka National College of Technology, Japan

“… provides an excellent, multi-dimensional approach to learning that I have not seen in other nanotechnology textbooks. … I really like the multitude of ways the author has the students think about the material through problems, group activities, thinking exercises … .”

—Kory Goldammer, Richland College, Dallas, Texas, USA

A primary text for undergraduate nanotechnology courses, this book is designed for students who lack a cross-disciplinary background and knowledge of micro- and nanotechnology. Clearly and concisely written, it contains many examples, questions, and problems divided into three hierarchical learning skills: understanding, analyzing, and evaluating the concepts. The author attempts to break down the boundaries between biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and ethics. He accomplishes this by co-mingling the vocabulary and concepts of these disciplines around bioapplications. Copiously illustrated, this new text leans heavily towards biological and biomedical applications and includes a comprehensive chapter on ethics.

Edited by a leader in the field, this book describes silicon photonics from the basics to integrated systems and applications. It covers a broad spectrum from theory to applications, emphasizing passive and active photonic devices, fabrication, integration, and the convergence with CMOS technology. With contributions from leading experts, it is perhaps the first handbook on the subject, and comes at a time when the field is mature enough to warrant a single volume providing a complete overview of theory, applications, systems, and technology.

There is a significant difference between VLSI (very large scale integration) micro/nanoelectronics and VLSI micro/nanophotonics. This book is about the latter, which defines photonic devices, circuits, and subsystems of micron, submicron, nano-scale, and quantum-scale dimensions. It examines issues concerning three essential steps in this technology: miniaturization, interconnection, and integration of microphotonic devices, circuits, and systems at micron or submicron scale. The book highlights the technology’s advantages with respect to size as well as its ability to offer unexplored functions for novel applications.

“Ever since Richard Feynman gave his classic talk in 1959, ‘There Is Plenty of Room at the Bottom,’ there has been a steadily increasing buzz in manipulating matter at the atomic scale--nanotechnology. This updated work (First ed., 2008) takes the revolutionary concepts and techniques that have traditionally been fodder for graduate study and makes them accessible for all. Covering subjects ranging from materials science to mechanics and biotechnology to photonics, [the authors] deftly introduce the reader to each topic and quickly explain why it is important on the nanoscale. An exciting feature is the ‘back-of-theenvelope’ examples, where the reader is walked through ‘quick and dirty’ calculations to illustrate and understand (mathematically) the complex concepts discussed. The end of each chapter includes traditional problem sets and short answer questions to test understanding. While not a comprehensive text in any specific area of nanoscale science or engineering, this outstanding introduction to the broad field of nanotechnology provides a solid foundation for further study. Summing Up: Highly recommended …”

In terms of commercialization, nanomaterials occupy a unique place in nanotechnology. Engineered nanomaterials, especially nanoparticulate materials, are the leading sector in nanotechnology commercialization.

In addition, the nanomaterial sector has attracted much more heated debate than any other nanotechnology sector with regard to safety, regulation, standardization, and ethics. This is the first book on nanotechnology commercialization that deals exclusively with nanomaterials. It provides overviews of the current trends in, and the issues associated with, the commercialization of nanomaterials by some of the foremost nanotechnology experts in their fields.

Consumers and Nanotechnology Contracts for Engineers Intellectual Property, Standards, and Ethics Robert D. Hunter Robert D. Hunter Associates, Austin, Texas, USA

Deliberative Processes, Social Barriers and Methodologies Harald Throne-Holst, Eivind Soto, Pal Strandbakken, and Gerd Scholl

Engineers encounter various forms of contracts at nearly every turn in their careers. This book enhances their ability to communicate contractual issues to lawyers and then better understand the consequent legal advice they receive. The text introduces the related subjects of intellectual property (including patents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets) and standards (including conformity assessment and accreditation). The author also addresses the role of ethics at both the micro and macro levels. These issues have recently been emphasized in response to the collapse of Boston’s Big Dig and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

In recent years, questions about democratic influence on science and technology have received much attention. The lesson from the European unrest over GMO is that consumer-citizens will react negatively to being forced to accept the introduction of new, partly untested technologies. A number of political bodies have started to involve citizens and to consider their concerns, attitudes, hopes, and worries in the early stages of the coming nano revolution. This volume assembles the contributions of experts who analyze a number of these deliberations, mainly in the European Union and the United States. The book analyzes citizen-oriented deliberations along with more stakeholder-oriented deliberations.
