Below you will find a selection of books whose main theme is Nanotechnology. Here you will find a comprehensive and frequently updated selection of nanotech books to purchase, from hard science to science fiction, as well as online versions which are free! If you would like the audio or e-book versions, once you click on one of these links and enter the Barnes and Noble site, in the left hand column you will see "Books by such-and-such author" -- click there and get the entire selection, including audio and e-book versions, when available.

Consider the first two a must read and the first ten an introduction. #3 is a book that many feel is the one to read in order to understand the history and potential of MNT. It is followed by two others that will give you additional history and background on the emerging science of Nanotechnology, a sixth and seventh that will bring you up-to-speed on Nanomedicine (actually more technical than the others in our top 10), followed by an eight that will get you acquainted with Transhumanism and Extropianism, a ninth book that will give those of you planning on investing in the Nanospace a little heads up, while the final and tenth book is another great intro to the field. Following them is a very comprehensive list of resource and technical books that range from the easy to the exceptionally complex and scientifically detailed. Click on the links to be taken to Barnes and Noble, where you will generally find both a description of the book, and a review or two. You can also order books at the same time. Occassionally, a book will be out of stock, and you will see the message "This title is not presently stocked by Barnes & Noble. Check availability from our network of book dealers." Check availability will be a link you can click to see if one of B&N's network has the book. Or check back here frequently, or visit your local used book store.

This list has been developed based upon the most popular books currently available. If you have another favorite, please contact us.

Jack Uldrich - Investing in Nanotechnology
Investing in Nanotechnology: Thank Small. Win Big
Jack Uldrich

Investing in Nanotechnology: Thank Small. Win Big
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Although nanotechnology deals with the very small-the art and science of manipulating and rearranging individual molecules to create useful materials, devices, and systems-its impact on business will be very big. Within a decade, nanotechnology should account for $1 trillion worth of products in the United States alone. This groundbreaking book provides you with:

  • The steps you MUST take to assess and profit from the nanotech market
  • Relevant information on more than 100 leading public and private nanotech companies-and how to distinguish the real players from the "nano-pretenders"
  • A comprehensive methodology for prudently investing in-and profiting from-nanotechnology in a way that yields market-beating returns while minimizing risk.

Author Biography:
Jack Uldrich, president of The NanoVertias Group, is the leading voice in America on nanotechnology today. Formerly the chief strategy advisor to Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, Uldrich is a sought-after speaker on the ever-growing nanotechnology circuit. His articles on nanotechnology have appeared in publications including the Motley Fool. He has been interviewed for ABC News, the Weekend Edition of NPR, and has been a featured speaker at 3M's "Big Thinkers" Symposium.

Nanotechnology: Risk, Ethics and Law. Edited by Geoffrey Hunt and Michael Mehta
Nanotechnology: Risk, Ethics and Law Edited by: Geoffrey Hunt and Michael Mehta

Nanotechnology – technology at the molecular level – is held out by many as the Holy Grail for creating a trillion dollar economy and solving problems from curing cancer to reprocessing waste into products and building super-fast computers. Yet, as with GMOs, many view nanotech as a high risk genie in a bottle that once uncorked has the potential to cause unpredictable, perhaps irreversible, environmental and public health disasters.

With the race to bring products to market, there is pressing need to take stock of the situation and to have a full public debate about this new technological frontier. Including contributions by renowned figures such as Roland Clift, K. Eric Drexler and Arpad Pusztai, this is the first global overview of the state of nanotech and society in Europe, the USA, Japan and Canada, examining the ethics, the environmental and public health risks, and the governance and regulation of this most promising, and potentially most dangerous, of all technologies.
