This book was published by the Monash University in 2007 and it is a non-profit publisher. So I use it for current information even though Nanotechnology evolve every year, nonetheless I didn’t find a newer book.

The intended audience for this book is the general public because the book  gives a general approach to what nanotechnology is, by mentioning its definition, benefits and disadvantages.

The purpose of this book is to inform about the basics of nanotechnology and to give us its ethical points.  I think that it is very useful for a person wants to have a general idea about the topic because the people who wrote it are very credible as we saw above.
