The choice of title for this collective volume reflects the desire
of the editors and authors to make clear that, while the bulk of
the material is concerned with luminescence, other aspects of the
excited state have not been excluded. In the five years which have
elapsed since the publication of the classical monograph of Konev,
a wealth of new information has ap peared on the emission
properties of proteins and nucleic acids. Indeed, since new
publications in this area appear to be proliferating in a geometric
ratio, this may be the last opportunity to provide a comprehensive
summary of the field in a book which is not of prohibitive length.
This is what we have attempted to do here. While the orientation of
each chapter naturally reflects the interests and point of view of
the author, there has been a general effort to present .a critical
assessment of existing results and interpretations, rather than a
compendium of data with minimal comment. Finally, it should be
stressed that the rapid evolution of the subject at the time of
writing makes it inevitable that the book will age to some degree
over the next few years, although this will occur at differing
rates for the various chapters. We can only hope that most of the
material in this interim summing-up will prove resistant to the
erosion of time and provide a solid foundation for further
progress."
