Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This is a weighty book in its ambition ... and in the quality of thought that the articles convey. ... this volume deserves careful reading by all those interested in modern science. ... the book concentrates on three areas - information technology (including the problems of making silicon chips), biotechnology, and nanotechnology - each of which is closely related to chemistry." (Robert Bud, AMBIX, Vol. 59 (3), November, 2012)
