Reviews

...it is the most comprehensive treatment of the field... A very nice feature of this book is that all the colur figures are placed right in the text instead of being bunched together at one place elsewhere. I end this review by congratulating the Editor for this special book, a gift for the future knowledge of mankind. * Photosynthesis Research, DOI 10.1007/s11120-009-9485-4 *
