Abstract
THIS book is an outstanding contribution to the problem of photosynthesis, and is the first volume of a work which will deal with this fundamental physiological process from the chemical, physical and botanical points of view. The author is a research associate, Solar Energy Conversion Research Project, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and explains that while this work is not concerned directly with photosynthesis "it has helped to keep alive an interest in the subject, for while experimenting on the conversion of light energy into chemical energy one cannot but turn continuously to plants and wonder how Nature has achieved a result which has not been approached in the laboratory".
