Calculations predict that it will become a trillion euro industry by 2015 and that it will bring about economic change of at least the same magnitude as the industrial revolution. Nanotechnology is recent, younger by some thirty years than biotechnology, but it appears at a point in time in human history where there is a convergence between the globalization of access to information and increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable development. \u003cem\u003eNanotechnology and Sustainable Development\u003c\/em\u003e explores the ways in which this convergence leads to a change in the management of innovation - and ultimately a reshaping of technological democracy. The scope of the study is global, with a particular focus on Europe and the United States, utilizing several case studies of stakeholders including entrepreneurs, commentators, end users, scientists, and policy makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claire Auplat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138960640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138960640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Claire Auplat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444071411967,"sku":"9781138960640","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a114795c-0a90-4407-b4b0-7ac5fb6b823a.jpg?v=1777209801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nanotechnology-and-sustainable-development-claire-auplat-9781138960640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
