Foreword
A huge energy crisis is before us, and, in my opinion, the field of photosynthesis is being borne again; we are indeed seeing its reincarnation in what we may call “sustainability.” Those who would solve the energy crisis need all the information on different parts of the process of photosynthesis. They would want to know how to replicate it, how to mimic it, how to modify it, and how to exploit it to our benefit using all sorts of tools from various disciplines of science: biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics (for modeling), and engineering. This book Photosynthesis: Structures, Mechanisms, and Applications, edited by four international authorities, Harvey Hou (USA)
