"The initial inspiration for me to step into the research of cultural issues has been derived from my experience of being a bilingual tour guide and a translator after I had earned my bachelor’s degree in international studies. Shortly after that, I have joined an international trade corporation as a businesswoman, which gave me lots of opportunities to be involved in business negotiations and traveling all over the world. |

“The book may most properly be viewed as a response to a problem: nanotechnologies are an emerging and underexplored area of study, especially as it relates to their impact on our environment. While nanotechnologies may represent an exciting advancement for both industry and end consumers, they must be explored through an environmental lens to ensure that the environment is protected and properly preserved. This book begins to start that conversation and should be viewed as a welcome addition to communal learning and knowledge.”

"Religion and spirituality, the individual and society, cultures that have long been at odds but are now thrown together in the reduced space and time continuum of modernity — all these are part of the mix of the dilemmas of modernity. It needs the diversity of views, along with the balance of detail and generality that this illuminating collection of viewpoints affords, to approach this immense global challenge not with dread but hope and with the relish that accompanies any expansion of awareness or encounter with new ideas."
