Award-Winning Nano Encyclopedia Continues to Pace the Field With its original publication, the Dekker Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology immediately became the reference against which all other nano references are measured. Noting that the encyclopedia was being assembled by leading authorities at an early stage in the field's development, Sir Harry Kroto, 1996 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, rightfully predicted that the encyclopedia would bring together key advances in a "coherently organized framework."Continuing to cover the field as no other resource, the six volume second edition, due to publish in September (CRC Press), crosses disciplines to examine fundamental nano principles, theories, and methodologies, as well as the latest information on nano-relevant properties. It also covers advances in nanoscale engineering, newly developed simulation tools, and emerging computational methods. As with the first edition, it will be available both in print and as a fully searchable online version. Among other accolades, this million-dollar bestseller has gone on to win an Outstanding Academic Book Award from CHOICE magazine.
Review :
Praise for the First Edition
Winner of a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award for 2005!
"...an excellent state-of-the-art review...it covers biomedical research and applications particularly well ... highly recommended."
--Choice "...this five-volume, almost 5,000 page tome surprised me. It provides an essentially exhaustive foundation on which future advancements in nanoscience and nanotechnology will be built ... .This encyclopedia should weigh down the shelves of every university and public library."
--Science Books & Films
"...there are many excellent articles in the volumes ... . Readers will certainly profit from much in these volumes."
--Materials World
"...the most comprehensive and detailed review of all the major developments that have characterized the emergence of these important fields. It will form an indispensable reference work for scientists and engineers in academia and industry for years to come ... recommend[ed]."
--Dr. Donald Fitzmaurice, Department of Chemistry, University College Dublin, Ireland
"This encyclopedia is being assembled at an early stage in the field's development and should bring together the key advances in a coherently organised framework."
--Sir Harry Kroto, 1996 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK
