Will check Ratner's book too. Yes there are not so many book for non-specialists. I asked for help, just in case I missed something. Then solution is keep on reading nanotechnology blogs! :-) I have read “Nanotechnology for Dummies”. Will check Ratner’s book too. Yes there are not so many book for non-specialists.

There's still a niche in the market I think for an accessible text for non-specialists and the marginally curious. Of those that have been around for a while, many people like Nanotechnology for Dummies (Richard D. Booker and Eric Boysen). Whether you get on with it depends on how you like the "Dummies" format - I don't particularly, but lots of people do. I prefer Mark and Daniel Ratner's "Nanotechnology: A Gentle Introduction to the Next Big Idea" I haven’t read any new nanotechnology-specific books this year that weren’t rather academic edited compilations (were there any published?)

Will read them in semester holiday. Are there any nanotech related books you suggest? Thank you for books. Will read them in semester holiday. Are there any nanotech related books you suggest?
