Molecular Engineering of Nanosystems

"...Provides an intuitive, scientific framework for understanding nanoscale systems. Rietman had organized the book around his precept that "solution-phase chemistry and protein engineering will bootstrap us into the first phase of nanotechnology."... Useful for those who might need a basic introduction to some of the important issues in nanotechnology and the influence of the chemical and biological science on the nanotechnology revolution. Those seeking a qualitative picture of nanoscale systems engineering will find it a useful reference."
