Description for Aquatic Photosynthesis: Second Edition
Paperback. A comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition describes how one of the most fundamental metabolic processes evolved and transformed the surface chemistry of the Earth. It focuses on biochemical and biophysical advances and the molecular biological techniques. Num Pages: 488 pages, 8 color plates. 10 halftones. 145 line illus. 22 tables.

Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition, thoroughly revised to bring it up to date, describes how one of the most fundamental metabolic processes evolved and transformed the surface chemistry of the Earth. The book focuses on recent biochemical and biophysical advances and the molecular biological techniques that have made them possible. In ten chapters that are self-contained but that build upon information presented earlier, the book starts with a reductionist, biophysical description of the photosynthetic reactions. It then moves through biochemical and molecular biological patterns in ... Read more

Reviews for Aquatic Photosynthesis: Second Edition
Despite the ubiquity and critical importance of this topic to the study of aquatic ecology, there are very few books dedicated primarily to aquatic photosynthesis, and none cover the subject matter with comparable elegance or continuity from the molecule to the ecosystem as does this one, authored by two of the leading researchers in the subject...
