This quick, easy-to-read reference supplies data and interpretation on the public perception of nanotechnology, along with a discussion of the implications for risk communication. An integral component of the Perspectives in Nanotechnology Series, the book is based primarily on a review of available social science evidence as well as the author's research concerning public perceptions of nanotechnology. She applies lessons learned from other emerging technologies to help clarify and define the issues of risk and the public that accompany nanotechnology, and to suggest the challenges involved…mehr
This quick, easy-to-read reference supplies data and interpretation on the public perception of nanotechnology, along with a discussion of the implications for risk communication. An integral component of the Perspectives in Nanotechnology Series, the book is based primarily on a review of available social science evidence as well as the author's research concerning public perceptions of nanotechnology. She applies lessons learned from other emerging technologies to help clarify and define the issues of risk and the public that accompany nanotechnology, and to suggest the challenges involved in managing those risks. The book demnostrates how the wide variety of nanotechnologies under development precludes reliance on a single approach.
Susanna Priest has been active in research concerning popular perspectives on emerging technologies such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, and synthetic biology since the 1980s. She is editor of Science Communication: Linking Theory and Practice, a leading journal in its field, author or editor of three books, and author or co-author of dozens of book chapters, journal articles, and reports about public responses to science and technology. Her work on nanotechnology public perception has been supported by several National Science Foundation grants. She is presently Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
