The first edition of The Science of Photobiology was published in
1977, and was the first textbook to cover all of the major areas of
photobiology. The science of photobiology is currently divided into
14 subspecialty areas by the American Society for Photobiology. In
this edition, however, the topics of phototechnology and
spectroscopy have been com bined in a new chapter entitled
"Photophysics." The other subspecialty areas remain the same, i.e.,
Photochemistry, Photosensitization, UV Radiation Effects,
Environmental Photobiology, Photomedicine, Circadian Rhythms,
Extraretinal Photoreception, Vision, Photomorphogenesis,
Photomovement, Photosynthesis, and Bioluminescence. This book has
been written as a textbook to introduce the science of photobiology
to advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The chapters are
written to provide a broad overview of each topic. They are
designed to contain the amount of information that might be
presented in a one-to two-hour general lecture. The references are
not meant to be exhaustive, but key references are included to give
students an entry into the literature. Frequently a more recent
reference that reviews the literature will be cited rather than the
first paper by the author making the original discovery. The
chapters are not meant to be a repository of facts for research
workers in the field, but rather are concerned with demon strating
the importance of each specialty area of photobiology, and
documenting its relevance to current and/or future problems of
man."
