Comprehensive Series in Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences
A book series promoted and organized by the European Society for Photobiology
Series Editors: Donat P. Häder and Giulio Jori
The book series aims at covering the different basic and applied aspects of the interaction between light and living matter, ranging from the photophysical events induced by the absorption of photons by endogenous or exogenous chromophores present in a biological system to the analysis and discussion of the large variety of effects caused by UV, visible and near-IR wavelengths at a cellular or tissue level. The consequent development of strategies for protection of the various ecosystems and plant, animal, human beings against photodanage, as well as for the use of light as a beneficial tool in the field of medicine and environment is extensively covered and periodically updated, while an in-depth description of the progressively refined and optimized technologies connected with light generation and dosimetry, and the advent of sophisticated fast spectroscopic techniques is provided. Each chapter is normally integrated by an extensive reference list.
Every effort is made for ensuring a critical review of the state-of-the-art for the individual fields, focusing on the most innovative subjects, and for discussing the problems to be addressed in order to overcome the current limitations or to achieve a significant qualitative improvement.
The European Society of Photobiology actively promotes this book series as a part of its commitments for expanding the scope of photobiology and attracting the attention of the scientific and medical community to the high potential and value of this branch of science at both an academic and social or political level.
