Who Should Read This Book?
This book is designed to be an introduction to the exciting fields of nanotechnology and nanoscience for the nonscientist. It is aimed squarely at the professional reader who has been hearing the buzz about nano and wants to know what it's all about. It is chiefly concerned with the science, technology, implications, and future of nano, but some of the business and financial aspects are covered briefly as well. All the science required to understand the book is reviewed in Chapter 3. If you have taken a high school or college chemistry or physics class, you will be on familiar ground.
