pt. I. Constructing the field of nanotechnology: the social origins of nanotechnology -- pt. II. Controlling the field: the role of public policies, market systems, scientific labor, and globalization in nanotechnology -- pt. III. Contesting the field: knowledge, power, and reflexivity in the construction of nanotechnology.

"This volume shows how nanotechnology takes on a wide range of socio-historically specific meanings in the context of globalization, across multiple localities, institutions and collaborations, through diverse industries, research labs, and government agencies and in a variety of discussions within the public sphere itself. It explores the early origins of nanotechnologies; the social, economic, and political organization of the field; and the cultural and subjective meanings ascribed to nanotechnologies in social settings.
