Review

From the reviews:

"This textbook is an excellent resource that allows students from any engineering background to quickly understand the foundations and exciting advances in the field. ... this book serves as an excellent starting point for the study of nanoscale science and technology, and we recommend it to anyone with a modest scientific background. It is also a great vehicle to motivate the study of science at a time when interest is waning." (Benjamin Wiley and Younan Xia, Materials Today, June, 2005)
