The new book by Peter Harris reviews the properties of carbon nanotubes and clarifies their promise as revolutionary new materials for the XXI century. Harris has written a most readable and useful book, which contains a wealth of up-to-date information for specialists and non-specialists. The book highlights the main challenges that have to be overcome if carbon-based nanotube technology is to fulfil the exciting, indeed revolutionary, promise that the already-known properties forecast........Times Higher Educational Supplement

This is a very good and recent review of carbon nanotube technology. It is not overly technical but is advanced enough to get good information out of, and contains a lot of references for someone interested. I would say it is quite readable, and does not get too boring at most points. I read most of the book, too, so that goes for almost all the book.
