Titelinformation des Verlags:
Recent years have witnessed a remarkable proliferation of activities
related to nanoscience and emerging technologies. Exploratory
research has expanded to high-tech innovation, national investment
has expanded to global collaboration, and interest in the social,
ethical, and philosophical dimensions of the molecular sciences has
expanded to issues of policy, education, and governance.
"Little by Little: Expansions of Nanoscience and Emerging
Technologies" traces these developments by attending to the
diversification of cultural meanings, the engagement of various
publics, the transformation of innovation regimes, and the
broadening of responsibilities around new technologies. Bringing
together contributions and perspectives from experts in the social
sciences, the humanities, and the natural sciences, along with
incisive reports from experts in public ou-treach, science
education, and technology policy, "Little by Little" showcases
ongoing research activities of the vibrant, multidisciplinary
community of S.NET, the Society for the Study of Nanoscience and
Emerging Technologies.
