Nanotechnology is radically altering the world in ways almost unimaginable in only the very recent past. With applications in arenas from medicine and science to warfare and even the world of sports, nanotechnology opens the doorway to a vast array of breathtaking possibilities. In this series of clearly articulated lectures, Professor Deborah Gibbs Sauder explores the world of nanotechnology and all its astounding applications, while also examining the ethical issues raised by the science and the impact nanotechnology is having on big business.

This is a fantastic book. Interesting enough for scientists to stay intrigued throughout and well structured as to not be overly complex. No matter your background, this book discusses the possibilities of nanotechnology in a way that is easy to listen to.

What made the experience of listening to A Bridge to the Future: Understanding Nanotechnology, Part 1 the most enjoyable?

Just so many examples of how nanotechnology is being used and how it will be used and how it can be used. AMAZING, a must read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Bridge to the Future: Understanding Nanotechnology, Part 1?

I guess after hearing everything nanotechnology can do when it was said that Universities are working hard to make nanotechnology programs because there will be so many jobs in this area and we need people trained. I am older and I still want to go back to school and be trained in nanotechnology!

Which character – as performed by the narrator – was your favorite?

This is a lecture.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES I did listen in once sitting and I have re listened to it SEVERAL TIMES< I lost count!

Any additional comments?

This should be required reading and have your kids listen with you, it will definitely get them excited about nanotechnology and I bet they will want to go study it. I m sure whoever does will do get very good jobs!! The earlier they start the better! So jealous of those that already know how to produce items via nanotechnology!

SO EXCITED NOW ABOUT NANOTECHNOLOGY & OUR FUTURE

As a person that loves the possibilities and accomplishments of human genius, this book was joyous. I find it terribly exciting to hear of real advances and upcoming advances in nano technology.

Exciting visual into the great

This program is OK but basic. If you are already familiar with nano tech, you probably already know much of what's in this audiobook. To be fair, this is an introduction however, one chapter covers the basics of the metric system. If you don't already know about the metric system, then you have bigger problems than learning about nano tech.

The real problem with this program is that it is read by the author. She stops in the middle of sentences for uncomfortably long periods of time and talks in the most boring monotone possible. I feel sorry for the student in her classes that have to listen to her take interesting material and hammer it flat.

OK Content, Terrible Reading
