Review: Discovering the Nanoscale comprises 25 papers from conferences held in the USA and Germany in 2003 and brings together key aspects of the historical, analytical and ethical study of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The book is presented in six parts covering configuration of the disciplines, the search for theories of the nanoscale, imaging the nanoscale, communication of nanotechnology, examination of the politics of nanotechnology, and exploration of ethical dimensions. The book will interest not only scientists working in this field but also science historians, sociologists and philosophers, as well as those in the arts, media, policy and the law.
