A showcase for nano-just -about-everything - Rated
I was not very satisfied by this book. I think it has the wrong title. It is not an introduction to what I would call nano-chemistry. I expected much more depth and more focus on the chemistry relating to the nano-scale. The book is a show case of the current status of nano-technology in general, which is fasinating, but the mismatch between what I wanted and what I got made me rate it rather low. It has hundreds of references, several of which I have now read and the authors covers a huge field, although by necessity, rather superficially. If you want to get an up-to-date overview of nanotechnolgy, read this book. If you want to understand nano-chemistry, read the original literature or one of the more in-depth monographies on the subject.

Nanochemistry not for the faint hearted - Rated
More a book for the chemist already well versed in this subject, those trying to learn from it will find it a difficult read and a bit disjointed from one subject area to the next.
