In Pursuit of Nanoethics Transatlantic Reflections on Nanotechnology

From the book reviews:

“In Pursuit of Nanoethics is a welcome contribution to the field. I found myself recommending many of the selections to colleagues working in various areas of applied ethics and have gone back to many of the pieces to inform my own future research directions. From the novice student to the experienced scholar, this volume has something to offer for everyone, especially for those interested in integrating publics into the discourse around nanoethics.” (Stephanie E. Vasko, NanoEthics, Vol. 8, 2014)
