Best History of Nanotech

I can say without fear of contradiction that fellow-blogger, Steve Edwards' book, The Nanotech Pioneers, is the best history of nanotechnology ever written. In fact, it might be mis-titled. Perhaps it should be simply called "The History of Nanotechnology"?

That might make it seem "dry" and boring, but Edwards has written an intriguing, insightful, almost downright chatty and extremely personal as well as personable history BY FOCUSING ON THE KEY INDIVIDUALS and their totally incredible contributions.

The book benefits from the fact that Mr. Edwards is actually DR. EDWARDS and a trained nanoscientist in his own right.

What could be better? - a wonderful story, told by someone who is witty, writes well, is at home with an awful lot of the "true insider" perspective, CAN EXPLAIN IT SIMPLY TO FOLKS WHO CAN'T REMEMBER HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY and actually knows what he's talking about!
