The book "Physico-chemical bases of photobiological processes", written by the authors of Y. A. Vladimirov and A. I. Potapenko is a deep and fascinating study that immerses the reader in the world of interaction between light and living organisms. This work will be a real find for students, graduate students and researchers in the field of biophysics, biochemistry, ecology and related disciplines, as well as for anyone interested in how light affects life on Earth. The book examines the key physicochemical processes that underlie photobiology, the science that studies how living organisms use light for their vital functions. The authors explain in detail how photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, and other photobiological reactions occur at the molecular level. The reader will be able to learn about how plants, algae and some microorganisms convert solar energy into chemical energy, which is the basis of life on the planet. The book not only delves into theoretical aspects, but also offers practical examples and research, which makes it especially valuable for those who seek to apply the knowledge gained in real conditions. The authors use an accessible language, which allows even those who do not have deep knowledge in physics or chemistry to understand complex concepts. Nevertheless, for more experienced readers, the book offers a fairly in-depth analysis and discussion, which makes it interesting for a wide audience. The topics raised in the book cover not only biological and chemical aspects, but also environmental issues related to climate change and human impact on the environment. The authors emphasize the importance of photobiological processes for the sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity, which makes the book relevant in the light of modern environmental challenges. Readers interested in ecology, sustainable development, and conservation will find this book a wealth of useful information and inspiration for further research. The writing style of Vladimir and Potapenko is clear and logical . They masterfully combine scientific data with fascinating examples from life, which makes reading not only informative, but also pleasant. Both authors have significant experience in the field of photobiology and biophysics, which gives their work additional value. Their previous publications have also gained recognition in the scientific community, and this book certainly continues their tradition of high-quality scientific presentation. If you are looking for literature that will help you to better understand how light affects life on Earth, and how these processes can be used to solve actual problems, then the "Physico-chemical foundations of photobiological processes" will be a real discovery for you. This book will not only expand your knowledge, but also inspire new ideas and research in biology, ecology and related sciences. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of photobiology and discover the secrets that are hidden in every ray of sunlight.
