More kind words about my book, The Nanotech Pioneers: Where are they taking us:

“The Nanotech Pioneers is refreshingly free of the hype and press-release punditry that plagues too much writing about the potential applications of nanotechnology. Instead, Edwards displays both a real understanding of the science that underlies the hype and an appreciation of the all-important difference between what is possible in principle and what makes economic sense. …I can recommend this book as a well-written and sane introduction to this confusing and contested field.”—Richard Jones, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sheffield, UK. Author of Softmachines: Nanotechnology and Life. The review appears in the June 2006 edition of Physics World.

“In a very easy going journalistic style, the author takes the reader on a journey through the subject touching on current technology, which is already having an impact on our lives, to future technology which is perhaps so distance its use or benefit is difficult to imagine. …In summary, if you have a passing interest in nanotechnology and fancy a light read as well as a change from scaremongering and ill-informed nanotechnology-related novels, I would fully recommend this book.”—Karl Coleman, Chemistry World, May, 2006 (subscription required).

P.S. In the interests of full disclosure, my wife, Sally, would beg to differ about the “light read” comment above, but she did read the whole thing.
