Abstract

Nanoethics: The Ethical and Social Dimensions of Nanotechnology, is an anthology of essays on the political, ethical, and societal dimensions of nanoscale science and engineering. The collection explores a wide range of perspectives on the history of nanotechnology, risk issues, policy and public engagement issues, and the challenges of deliberating about and governing new and emerging technologies. Though uneven in quality and sparsely referenced, the collection nonetheless provides a fair and useful introduction to many of the key topics in the field of nanoethics
