"The book Nanostructures in Electronics and Photonics edited by Faiz Rahman focuses on nanostructures and nanomaterials in the areas of electronics and photonics, two of the most promising and important fields. The book covers a variety of exemplar nanostructures, including nanoparticles, shaped nanoparticles (nanopyramids, nanobelts), nanowires, nanotubes, thin films, and ordered 2D and 3D structures. The structures discussed are composed of metals (especially gold), metal oxides (e.g., ZnO), polymers, and carbon nanotubes �0„3�0…2 Overall, this is a book that focuses on nanoelectronics and nanophotonics, which is good for novice researchers who can quickly grasp the related information in various research fields. It is also a good reference book for students to use in graduate-level courses on nanoelectronics or nanophotonics, or survey courses on nanotechnology."

"This book brings together expert contributions from experimentalists and theorists in the field of plasmonic waveguides and devices who steer readers through the underlying physical principles of plasmonic circuitry to specific designs and applications. Comprehensive description of possible plasmonic waveguide geometries, their advantages and drawbacks are clearly discussed with various uses in mind, ranging from optical communication components, on-chip interconnects and electronic-photonic hybrid circuits. It makes fascinating reading and gives food for thought equally to nanophotonics practitioners and students alike."

"Taking a unique, systems perspective, this book not only covers fundamental information on nanomedicine, but also provides an account of modeling, simulation, and experimental tools for dealing with challenges at the interface between nanotechnology and medicine. It is an excellent reference for researchers and students in this burgeoning field."

"Following an extensive motivating introduction laced with gentle humor, Hsu guides the reader of 'Nano Computing' on a journey through the realms of the Nanoworld. Addressing primarily students and Scientists knowledgeable in Quantum Mechanics and some level of programming, he uses sample MATLAB programs to let the engaged reader experience and quantitatively reproduce many nanoscale phenomena explored by current frontier research in Physics, Chemistry and Biology."

"The writing is clear, sophisticated and professional, but at the same time personal and accessible ... this book really is comprehensive, presenting basic background information, detailed descriptions of the systems and of the techniques used to study them, and challenges and opportunities for future directions of research and study."

"Finally, a book that gathered the latest and most contrasted information on toxicity of carbon nanotubes."

"Silicon Nanophotonics, edited by Leonid Khriachtchev, is a most useful, up-to-date collection of review articles covering the various aspects of silicon-based photonics, written by leading experts in the area. Both theoretical and experimental issues of silicon nanocrystals were considered, as well as device applications in both solid-state photonics and biology. This volume is an essential read for those working to make silicon shine as optoelectronics material."
