By Andrea J Harmer

Written primarily for children, but suitable for any audience, Nano in a Nutshell: A Young Students Guide to Nanotechnology Tools, Applications, and Challenges is a second glimpse into the exciting new field of study in science and engineering for the new millennium, known as nanotechnology. Nanotechnology promises to affect our lives in many ways over the next twenty years, biologically, environmentally, scientifically, and technically. In addition to Nanotechnology for Grades 1-6+, this new book will give you a further understanding of why nanotechnology has become the new buzz word in science and why and how scientists, businessmen, engineers, and medical researchers are clamoring to find out more about how we can control and manipulate matter on the atomic scale.

For children who grew to love Buckydog in the first book, this is the return of Buckydog!
