Nano Meets Macro: Social Perspectives on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Abstract

This book is a fortunate spin-off of our own process of trying to come to terms with the rich field of research on social and ethical aspects of nanoscale sciences and technologies. At various times, and in a range of different settings, we have both been asked to teach, present or give an overview of this multifaceted body of work. This book results from our various attempts to find good ways of doing this.
