Photobiology integrates a wide variety of scientific disciplines.
As more people become aware of the many ways light interacts with
chemical and biological systems, the need for a concise treatment
of photobiology has become more critical. Kohen "et al." Have
written just such a book, intended both as a textbook and as a
reference.
The authors begin by providing a brief description of the nature of
light, how it affects matter, and the means and methods of
measuring it. A major section of the book is devoted to how light
influences living systems, including discussions of photosynthesis,
bioluminescence, regulatory mechanisms, and visual transduction of
light. The last half of the book is devoted to the biomedical
aspects of light, including photoimmunology, photoallergic
reactions and other forms of light sensitivity, the optical
properties of skin, and various ways that light can be used in
therapy treatments.
Useful to photobiologists as a comprehensive overview, this book
should also appeal to biomedical researchers and advanced students
of photobiology.
