Photobiology : The Science of Life and Light (2nd ed)

Since the publication of the first edition in 2002, there has been an explosion of new findings and applications in the field of photobiology.

This brand new edition is fully updated, includes new references, and offers five new chapters for a comprehensive look at photobiology.

The chapters cover all areas of photobiology, photochemistry, and the relationship between light and biology.

The book starts with the physics and chemistry of light and then deals with the evolution of photosynthesis.

Four chapters deal with how organisms use light for their orientation in space and time.

There are also several medically oriented chapters and two chapters specifically aimed at the photobiology educator.
