From the reviews: "As with the other books in the series, "Single Organic Nanoparticles’ is aimed at the specialist reader … . It provides a thorough and timely overview of the synthesis, characterisation, properties and applications of nanoscale organic particles but also has much to offer a broader range of readers … . In summary, ... Read morethis is an important and useful text for graduate students and researchers interested in the optical properties of nanoparticles. It has much to offer those interested in both organic and inorganic nanoparticles." (R. G. Elliman, The Physicist, Vol. 41 (2), 2004) "The operative word in the title of this fascinating book is single. Indeed the preparation, manipulation, and spectroscopic and microscopic properties of single parties is the main thrust of most of the chapters of this book. … the publishers have produced a durable book that is well bound, nicely typeset, and beautifully illustrated with many useful line drawings and well-reproduced photographs. As such it is highly recommended to the reader who wants an in-depth introduction to the fascinating study of nanoparticles – one-at-a-time." (Gary J.
