Don't you just love the "for dummies" series? I hope the title doesn't personally offend anyone. I'm not calling anyone a dummy. I just like the book series.

So, have you read Nanotechnology for Dummies? This book is great because it breaks down the science into a simple, yet meaningful explanation. Many people have misconceptions about what nanotechnology is about. Some think that nanotechnology is just about Microscopic robots. Others think that nanotechnology only applies to microchips and computer technology.

It's easy reading and also serves as a nice gift if you're ever in need of one. Visit Dummies.com to see all the other "for dummies" books.
