Governing Uncertainty

Environmental Regulation in the Age of Nanotechnology,
Edited by Chistopher J. Bosso

"Nanotechnology promises to transform the materials of everyday life, leading to smaller and more powerful computers, more durable plastics and fabrics, cheap and effective water purification systems, more efficient solar panels and storage batteries, and medical devices capable of tracking down and killing cancer cells or treating neurological diseases.

Yet the nanotechnology revolution is not straightforward." More >>
