Great Introduction to the Nano-world
This book is a nice, light read on the cutting-edge world of nanotechnology. It explains how the properties of common nano-molecules in a non-technical fashion as well as their applications. It also introduces the history, and the present landscape of the industry with its future implications. I wasn't blown-away, but I feel I got my nickle's worth.

Interesting Information
The book was worth reading in so far as this is a newly developing field and one that will have a significant impact on mankind's future. Information was well presented and easy to understand. The only drawback was that there was a lot of repetition from chapter to chapter, perhaps because the chapters were designed to stand alone so the reader could read them in any order.

Nano for Dummies
What an amazing book. Incredibly insightful and opened my eyes to this amazing technology. This world will never be the same again as we discover and utilise more nano technology in every aspect of our lives......we also need to be a little cautious in how this technology is used.

Very helpful-easy to understand
Rght off the bat an excellent table showing the size relationship of nano scale devices to other entities like a virus and a bacteria was displayed. This was very helpful. As informative as my audible.com lecture is pictures are so helpful.

If you are interested in Nanotechnology and you like to read English books, this is it. As lots of English books for Teenagers or English books for school this is also one you are able to understand and learn with.

It is an amazing book especially for beginners in this field ' nanotechnology'. The most important thing in this book is the ability to read any chapter from it as the reader like regardless the order of chapters which means that you can start reading of chapter 5 then reading chapter 3 and so forth because each chapter gives the reader a rooting scientific idea in this field which is differs from other rooting ideas in other chapters. So, reader can read the book randomly and really it can be considered as a good and easy introduction that makes the reader engaging with this new field and its applications.
