—Kory Goldammer, Richland College, Dallas, Texas, USA

A primary text for undergraduate nanotechnologycourses, this book is designed for students who lack across-disciplinary background and knowledge ofmicro- and nanotechnology. Clearly and conciselywritten, it contains many examples, questions, andproblems divided into three hierarchical learning skills:understanding, analyzing, and evaluating the con-cepts. The author attempts to break down the bound-aries between biology, chemistry, physics, engineer-ing, and ethics. He accomplishes this by co-minglingthe vocabulary and concepts of these disciplinesaround bioapplications. Copiously illustrated, this newtext leans heavily towards biological and biomedicalapplications and includes a comprehensive chapteron ethics.

OpticalProperties ofPhotonicStructuresInterplay of Orderand DisorderEdited by

Mikhail F. Limonov andRichard M. De La RueOne of the first books specifically focused on disorderin photonic structures, this work explores how bothorder and disorder provide the key to the differentregimes of light transport and to the systematic local-ization and trapping of light. Leading researchersdescribe one-, two-, and three-dimensional struc-tures, including opals, aperiodic Fibonacci-type pho-tonic structures, photonic amorphous structures,photonic glasses, and Lévy glasses. They also discusshypersonic, magnetophotonic, and plasmonic–photonic crystals with nanocavities, quantum dots,and lasing action. The book addresses practical appli-cations in areas such as optical communications andlaser surgery.

El-Hang Lee,Louay A. Eldada,Manijeh Razeghi, andChennupati JagadishThere is a significant difference between VLSI (verylarge scale integration) micro/nanoelectronics andVLSI micro/nanophotonics. This book is about the lat-ter, which defines photonic devices, circuits, and sub-systems of micron, submicron, nano-scale, and quan-tum-scale dimensions. It examines issues concerningthree essential steps in this technology: miniaturiza-tion, interconnection, and integration of micropho-tonic devices, circuits, and systems at micron or sub-micron scale. The book highlights the technology’sadvantages with respect to size as well as its ability tooffer unexplored functions for novel applications.

“Ever since Richard Feynman gave his classic talk in1959, ‘There Is Plenty of Room at the Bottom,’ therehas been a steadily increasing buzz in manipulatingmatter at the atomic scale--nanotechnology. Thisupdated work (First ed., 2008) takes the revolution-ary concepts and techniques that have traditionallybeen fodder for graduate study and makes themaccessible for all. Covering subjects ranging frommaterials science to mechanics and biotechnology tophotonics, [the authors] deftly introduce the reader toeach topic and quickly explain why it is important onthe nanoscale. An exciting feature is the ‘back-of-the-envelope’ examples, where the reader is walkedthrough ‘quick and dirty’ calculations to illustrateand understand (mathematically) the complex con-cepts discussed. The end of each chapter includes tra-ditional problem sets and short answer questions totest understanding. While not a comprehensive text inany specific area of nanoscale science or engineering,this outstanding introduction to the broad field ofnanotechnology provides a solid foundation for fur-ther study.

Nanotechnology promises to be the next greathuman technological revolution, but such changeoften comes at the price of unforeseen consequences.This volume explores several of the practical and eth-ical dilemmas presented by this technological leap.The book provides a framework for deciding how tobest take advantage of nanotechnology opportunitieswhile minimizing potential negative effects. After anoverview, the text illustrates key concepts in theassessment model and then applies this model to acase study related to human enhancement technolo-gies. A final chapter offers an ethical agenda foraddressing the challenges of nanotechnology.

Fundamentalsof ElectricalEngineeringCharles A. Gross andThaddeus A. RoppelAuburn University, Alabama, USA

Written to provide an overview of the electrical engi-neering profession to college students and profession-als outside the field, this textbook provides informa-tion on the necessary technical competenciesrequired. Simple and easy to use, yet complete inrigor and coverage of fundamental concepts, thebook teaches the fundamentals of electrical engineer-ing without including the typical analytical methodsthat hold little relevance for non-electrical engineers.Many examples explaining concepts and homeworkproblems are included within the chapters to aid withstudent comprehension and application.









TechnicalWritingA Practical Guide for Engineers and ScientistsPhillip A. LaplanteThe Pennsylvania StateUniversity, Malvern, USA

Written by a renowned engineer and widely pub-lished technical author, this is a guide to writing, edit-ing, and publishing materials of a technical nature,including books, articles, reports, and electronicmedia. Complementing the traditional writer’s refer-ence manuals and other books on technical writing, ithelps readers understand the practical considerationsinvolved in writing technical content. Drawing on hisown work, the author presents many first-hand exam-ples of writing, editing, and publishing technicalmaterials. These examples illustrate how a publicationoriginated as well as various challenges and solutions.

NanotechnologyCommercial-izationTakuya TsuzukiDeakin University, Geelong, Australia

In terms of commercialization, nanomaterials occupya unique place in nanotechnology. Engineered nano-materials, especially nanoparticulate materials, are theleading sector in nanotechnology commercialization.In addition, the nanomaterial sector has attractedmuch more heated debate than any other nanotech-nology sector with regard to safety, regulation, standardization, and ethics. This is the first book on nanotechnology commercialization that dealsexclusively with nanomaterials. It provides overviewsof the current trends in, and the issues associatedwith, the commercialization of nanomaterials by someof the foremost nanotechnology experts in their fields.

Contracts forEngineersIntellectual Property,Standards, and EthicsRobert D. HunterRobert D. Hunter Associates,Austin, Texas, USA

Engineers encounter various forms of contracts atnearly every turn in their careers. This book enhancestheir ability to communicate contractual issues tolawyers and then better understand the consequentlegal advice they receive. The text introduces therelated subjects of intellectual property (includingpatents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets) andstandards (including conformity assessment andaccreditation). The author also addresses the role ofethics at both the micro and macro levels. Theseissues have recently been emphasized in response tothe collapse of Boston’s Big Dig and the DeepwaterHorizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.


New!

Consumers andNanotechnologyDeliberativeProcesses, SocialBarriers andMethodologiesHarald Throne-Holst,Eivind Soto, Pal Strandbakken, and Gerd SchollIn recent years, questions about democratic influenceon science and technology have received much atten-tion. The lesson from the European unrest over GMOis that consumer-citizens will react negatively to beingforced to accept the introduction of new, partlyuntested technologies. A number of political bodieshave started to involve citizens and to consider theirconcerns, attitudes, hopes, and worries in the earlystages of the coming nano revolution. This volumeassembles the contributions of experts who analyze anumber of these deliberations, mainly in the EuropeanUnion and the United States. The book analyzes citi-zen-oriented deliberations along with more stake-holder-oriented deliberations.
