The 3rd International Symposium on Nanotechnology in Construction
(NICOM 3) follows the highly successful NICOM 1 (Paisley, UK 2003)
and NICOM 2 (Bilbao, Spain 2005) Symposia. The NICOM3 symposium was
held in Prague, Czech Republic from May 31 to June 2, 2009 under
the auspices of the Czech Technical University in Prague. It was a
cross-disciplinary event, bringing together R&D experts and
users from different fields all with interest in nanotechnology and
construction. The conference was aimed at: Understanding of
internal structures of existing construction materials at
nano-scale Modification at nano-scale of existing construction
materials. Production and properties of nanoparticulate materials,
nanotubes and novel polymers. Modeling and simulation of
nanostructures. Instrumentation, techniques and metrology at
nano-scale. Health and safety issues and environmental impacts
related to nanotechnology during research, manufacture and product
use. Review of current legislation. Societal and commercial impacts
of nanotechnology in construction, their predictions and analysis.

With this book, students, teachers, and general readers get a most
important look at primary documents-essentially history's "first
draft"-revealing rare insights into how American life in past eras
really was, and also about how professional historians begin their
work. Daily Life through American History in Primary Documents
presents a large sweep of American history through the voices of
the American people themselves. This multivolume work explores the
daily lives of American people from colonial times to the present
through primary documents that include diaries, letters, memoirs,
speeches, sermons, pamphlets, and all manner of public and private
writings from "the people." The emphasis is on the variety of
people's experiences as they ordered and lived their daily lives.
The cast includes Americans of every class and condition, men and
women, parents and children, free and "unfree," native-born and
immigrant. Hundreds of images further illustrate American life as
it developed over more than four centuries and as Americans moved
across a continent. Organized both chronologically and topically,
this collection invites many uses by students, teachers,
librarians, and anyone wanting to discover what counted in American
lives at any one time and over time. Its focus on primary documents
encourages readers of the volume to explore specific and critical
events by taking a firsthand look at the actual documents from
which those events draw historical meaning. The documents show
Americans at work, at home, at play, in the public square, in
places of worship, and on the move. As such, they perfectly
complement the acclaimed Greenwood Encyclopedia of Daily Life in
America and will enrich any American history, social science, and
sociology classroom. More than 200 selected primary documents drawn
from more than four centuries of American life General overviews
for each broad topic and analytical introductions to each specific
document by the editor A chronological presentation of American
history from colonial times to the present Brief biographical
information on the author and historical context for each document
