From the reviews:"This is an excellent treatise that covers fundamental aspects of the photosynthetic processes ... . Diagrams are clear, with some use of colour, and the text is well laid out. Each chapter ends with a useful bibliography to enable further investigation of primary sources. The book will be a valuable resource for advanced students, teachers and researchers of photosynthesis." (Matthew Paul, Annals of Botany, Vol. 111 (2), February, 2013)
