From the reviews: "This book results from a Japanese project aiming to predict the future development of SPM techniques and their potential applications out to the year 2020. ... The descriptions and historical backgrounds for each technique are adequately written ... . it will most likely find a use as a reference text and starting point for further reading." (N J Curson, Australian Physics, Vol. 44 (2), 2007)
