Nano The Spectacular Science of the Very (Very) Small

An exciting picture book introduction to the fascinating (and cutting-edge) science of nanotechnology.
“We need more beautifully illustrated and involving non-fiction like this. Wade and Castrillón introduce nanoscience with perfect clarity and inviting pictures.” – Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times Everything is made from something – but the way we make things, from the materials we use to the science and technology involved, is changing fast. Nano offers a fascinating narrative introduction to this cutting-edge area of STEM, better known by the name “nanotechnology”. With words by Dr Jess Wade – a highly skilled physicist and trailblazing campaigner for diversity in STEM fields – and beautiful, dynamic pictures by award-winning artist Melissa Castrillón, this is the perfect book for budding young scientists and engineers: a way of stepping beyond their school textbooks to fascinating “real-world” science. “A truly rare science book that neither talks down to children nor goes over the heads… Sumptuously illustrated, deeply informative and clever, this is the gift I’ll be giving to all the children I know.” – Angela Saini, science journalist, broadcaster and author
