A very strong contribution to our understanding of the global economy and the role of technology in the 21st Century. Aris Melissaratos and N.J.Slabbert have produced a powerful book that documents technology and innovation contributions to the economic success of the United States and society, in general. The recipe for beginning technological leadership is provided in their delightfully easy reading in which they treat nanotechnology, biotechnology, and other important technologies of the 21st Century. Risk associated with technological development is especially well documented. This book is a recommended reading for those who need to understand the intricacies of technology and innovation in the 21st Century.-- Dr. Rita R. Colwell, Ph.D., D.Sc., US National Medal of Science laureate 2006, Director of the US National Science Foundation 1998-2004, President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science 1996, former President of both the American Society for Microbiology and the American Institute of Biological Sciences, current Distinguished University Professor at both the University of Maryland's Center for Bio Informatics and Computational Biology and Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health.

This beautifully written, powerfully human book can be read for the sheer pleasure of its smooth, luminously clear prose even if you are not even slightly interested in how science and invention can put America back to work. Its effectiveness as a work of literature comes from both its graceful style and its extraordinary cultural range. How many books about invention and the economy can you think of which insightfully discuss what comic books, movies and science fiction writers like Ray Bradbury tell us about the state of science in America? A remarkably readable synthesis that explains the scientific and technological forces that shaped today's world. Startling ideas, oddball characters and bizarre facts abound on every page. Because the authors explain virtually every major field of current science in its historical context, the book has an epic narrative sweep, so that you feel you are reading a novel rather than a work of science, philosophy and ideas. Aris Melissaratos and N.J. Slabbert have created an instant classic that you will read and-reread. For all age groups from the teenage years up, this is the science book you wish you had found years ago. If you thought you couldn't understand science or found it boring, or if you've wondered what nenotechnology is or how it or the Internet or space exploration relate to the history of philosophy or the American economy, this charming, ceaselessly stimulating adventure of intelligence and the human spirit book will open your eyes; in fact it will change your concept of America and perhaps of the universe. Its optimism is marvelous; it shows convincingly that we humans have an infinite number of reasons to be happy about the species we are. I wish it had an index, though.
