An authoritative examination of the present and potential impact of
nanoscale science and technology on modern life
Because truly transformative technologies have far-reaching
consequences, they always generate controversy. Establishing an
effective process for identifying and understanding the broad
implications of nanotechnology will advance its acceptance and
success, impact the decisions of policymakers and regulatory
agencies, and facilitate the development of judicious policy
approaches to new technology options.
Nanoscale: Issues and Perspectives for the Nano Century
addresses the emerging ethical, legal, policy, business, and social
issues. A compilation of provocative treatises, this reference:
* Covers an area of increasing research and funding
* Organizes topics in four sections: Policy and Perspectives;
Nano Law and Regulation; Nanomedicine, Ethics, and the Human
Condition; and Nano and Society: The NELSI Imperative
* Presents differing perspectives, with views from
nanotechnology's most ardent supporters as well as its most vocal
critics
* Includes contributions from professionals in a variety of
industries and disciplines, including science, law, ethics,
business, health and safety, government regulation, and policy
This is a core reference for professionals dealing with
nanotechnology, including scientists from academia and industry,
policy makers, ethicists and social scientists, safety and risk
assessment professionals, investors, and others. It is also an
excellent text for students in fields that involve nanotechnology.
