More About The Molecular Biophysics And Biochemistry Of Photosynthesis

"About the Authors Hans Lambers is in the Department of Plant Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Utrecht University in The Netherlands and in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Western Australia. F. Stuart Chapin is Professor of Ecology at the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska. Thijs L. Pons is in the Department of Plant Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Utrecht University." [from the book of the back cover] ".....The book starts, appropriately, with the capture of carbon from the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is obviously the basis of life on earth, and some of the most brilliant scientists have made it their life's work. As a result, we know MORE ABOUT THE MOLECULAR BIOPHYSICS AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS than we do about any other plant process....." [from the book of the foreword by David T. Clarkson, IACR-Long Ashton Research Station, University of Bristol, April 1997]

Excellent reference book

I use this book as a starting point on specific topics in plant physiology & ecophysiology from the plant cell to plant global communities. Indeed, it is not an intro course in plant physiology and very broad but I would recommend this book for graduate students, it is helpful.
