A showcase for nano-just -about-everything- By: Hans Erik Oskar Axelsson, 08 Sep 2007 I was not very satisfied by this book. I think it has the wrong title. It is not an introduction to what I would call nano-chemistry. I expected much more depth & more focus on the chemistry relating to the nano-scale. The book is a show case of the current status of nano-technologyin general, which is fasinating, but the mismatch between what I wanted & what I got made me rate it rather low. It has hundreds of references, several of which I have now read & the authors covers a huge field, although by necessity, rather superficially. If you want to get an up-to-date overview of nanotechnolgy, read this book. If you want to understand nano-chemistry, read the original literature or one of the more in-depth monographies on the subject.Nanochemistry not for the faint hearted- By: G. Walters, 28 Jan 2007 More a book for the chemist already well versedin this subject, those trying to learn from it will find it a difficult read & a bit disjointed from one subject area to the next.
