The fIrst edition of the Science 0/ Photobiology edited by Kendric
C. Smith (plenum Press, 1977) was a comprehensive textbook of
photobiology, devoting a chapter to each of the subdisciplines of
the fIeld. At the end of many of these chapters there were brief
descriptions of simple experiments that students could perform to
demonstrate the principles discussed. In the succeeding years some
photobiologists felt that a more complete publica tion of
experiments in photobiology would be a useful teaching tool. Thus,
in the 1980s the American Society for Photobiology (ASP) attempted
to produce a laboratory manual in photobiology. Cognizant of these
efforts, Kendric Smith elected to publish the second edition of The
Science o/Photobiology (1989) without experiments; anticipating the
comple tion of the ASP laboratory manual. Unfortunately, the
initial ASP efforts met with limited success, and several years
were to pass before a photobiology laboratory manual became a
reality. One of the major stumbling blocks to production of an
accurate and reliable laboratory manual was the requirement that
the experiments be tested, not just by the author who is familiar
with the techniques, but by students who may be quite new to
photobiology. How could this be accomplished with limited
resources? Many ideas were considered and discarded, before a
workable solution was found. The catalyst that enabled the careful
screening of all experiments in this book was a NATO Advanced Study
Institute (ASI) devoted entirely to this purpose."
