"This is a very useful handbook for the professional. It has useful definitions for terms ranging from simple to very complex. It is designed for a wide audience of professional scientists who will be experts in their own field, but may need help in understanding some terms from other areas."
Chromatographia

"... a useful and readable resource, especially for undergraduate students and those elements in the general public interested in nanotechnology."
American Reference Books Annual

"...a useful handbook for undergraduate and PhD students as well as for teachers and researchers interested in nanoscience and nanotechnology from the physical/solid-state viewpoint. But is is also useful to chemists who are trying to move towards broader horizons."
Advanced Materials

"The book is very useful to both workers in the field and those who are interested in understanding the term and expression used in greater detail and the book will make a valuable addition to any bookshelf of the interested reader. It will be of use to university teachers, managers and media professionals dealing with nanoscience and nanotechnology."
Journal of Materials Technology

"... useful to advanced graduate students beginning research projects, or to scientists and engineers reaching outside the bounds of their disciplines for work in nanotechnology."
CHOICE

"Borisenko and Ossicini, both professors of physics, have filled a gap in nanoscience by writing this book. Overall, it promises to be a valuable source of information for scientists, researchers and research students who are dealing with materials and nanotechnology."
