About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is a weighty book in its ambition … and in the quality of thought that the articles convey. … this volume deserves careful reading by all those interested in modern science. … the book concentrates on three areas – information technology (including the problems of making silicon chips), biotechnology, and nanotechnology – each of which is closely related to chemistry.” (Robert Bud, AMBIX, Vol. 59 (3), November, 2012)
