Photosynthesis
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 286.97 $Photosynthesis: Photobiochemistry and Photobiophysics is the first single-authored book in the Advances in Photosynthesis Series. It provides an overview of the light reactions and electron transfers in both oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis. The scope of the book is characterized by the time frame in which the light reactions and the subsequent electron transfers take place, namely between <=10-12 and >=10-3 second. The book is divided into five parts: An Overview; Bacterial Photosynthesis; Photosystem II & Oxygen Evolution; Photosystem I; and Proton Transport and Photophosphorylation. In discussing the structure and function of various protein complexes, we begin with an introductory chapter, followed by chapters on light-harvesting complexes, the primary electron donors and the primary electron acceptors, and finally the secondary electron donors. The discussion on electron acceptors is presented in the order of their discovery to convey a sense of history, in parallel with the advancement in instrumentation of increasing time resolution. The book includes a large number of stereo pictures showing the three-dimensional structure of various photosynthetic proteins, which can be easily viewed with unaided eyes. This book is designed to be used as a textbook in a graduate or upper-division undergraduate course in photosynthesis, photobiology, plant physiology, biochemistry, and biophysics; it is equally suitable as a resource book for students, teachers, and researchers in the areas of molecular and cellular biology, integrative biology, microbiology, and plant biology.

Photosynthesis in the Marine Environment (Paperback) [first edition]
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 66.99 $"Marine photosynthesis provides for at least half of the primary production worldwide..." Photosynthesis in the Marine Environment constitutes a comprehensive explanation of photosynthetic processes as related to the special environment in which marine plants live. The first part of the book introduces the different photosynthesising organisms of the various marine habitats: the phytoplankton (both cyanobacteria and eukaryotes) in open waters, and macroalgae, marine angiosperms and photosymbiont-containing invertebrates in those benthic environments where there is enough light for photosynthesis to support growth, and describes how these organisms evolved. The special properties of seawater for sustaining primary production are then considered, and the two main differences between terrestrial and marine environments in supporting photosynthesis and plant growth are examined, namely irradiance and inorganic carbon. The second part of the book outlines the general mechanisms of photosynthesis, and then points towards the differences in light-capturing and carbon acquisition between terrestrial and marine plants. This is followed by discussing the need for a CO2 concentrating mechanism in most of the latter, and a description of how such mechanisms function in different marine plants. Part three deals with the various ways in which photosynthesis can be measured for marine plants, with an emphasis on novel in situ measurements, including discussions of the extent to which such measurements can serve as a proxy for plant growth and productivity. The final chapters of the book are devoted to ecological aspects of marine plant photosynthesis and growth, including predictions for the future.

Photosynthesis (Science Discovery Books)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 34.99 $Dust jacket notes: "In his customary lucid and engaging style, Isaac Asimov provides a look through the chemist's eyes at the process upon which life in all its forms is utterly dependent. Why is it that the earth's food supply doesn't run out? What is responsible fro the replenishment of the atmosphere's store of oxygen? How is sunlight transformed into usable energy? In exploring these and other questions, Dr. Asimov clearly explains the vital process of photosynthesis and traces the efforts of scientists to understand its role in the fundamental chemistry of life."

The Human Photosynthesis
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 29.28 $The concept of Photosynthesis (building-up something using the Energyof light) is presently applied only to the plants kingdom. However theunraveling of the intrinsic property of melanin to split and re-form thewater molecule breaks the paradigm. During a study about the three maincauses of blindness initiated in 1990 in Aguascalientes, Mexico; Dr. SolisHerrera found the previously unknown capacity of melanin molecule toabsorb photonic energy, dissipating it in a unique manner: splitting the watermolecule. The very first step of life in plants and humans is practically thesame: the dissociation of the water molecule.

Light and Photosynthesis 2ed (hb 1994)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 43.94 $Penetration of light into aquatic ecosystems is greatly affected by the absorption and scattering processes that take place within the water. Thus within any water body, the intensity and color of the light field changes greatly with depth and this has a marked influence on both the total productivity of, and the kinds of plant that predominate in, the ecosystem. This study presents an integrated and coherent treatment of the key role of light in aquatic ecosystems. It ranges from the physics of light transmission within water, through the biochemistry and physiology of aquatic photosynthesis, to the ecological relationships that depend on the underwater light climate.

Human Photosynthesis 101
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 70.62 $We are carbon base beings, living in the carbon cycle here on Earth. Our bodies are good conductors of energy. Good conductors are copper, aluminum, platinum, gold, silver, water and animals. Nature can be used to conduct energy also. Crystals, wood, and just about anything from nature can be used as a tool. To conduct energies, the materials actually does it on its own but slowly with some force. A person must focus and channel the energy via thought. Thoughts are energy, intent. The mind can consecrate the object to raise the vibration or conductivity of electron flow.

Terrestrial Photosynthesis in a Changing Environment : A Molecular, Physiological and Ecological Approach
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 167.92 $Understanding how photosynthesis responds to the environment is crucial for improving plant production and maintaining biodiversity in the context of global change. Covering all aspects of photosynthesis, from basic concepts to methodologies, from the organelle to whole ecosystem levels, this is an integrated guide to photosynthesis in an environmentally dynamic context. Focusing on the ecophysiology of photosynthesis - how photosynthesis varies in time and space, responds and adapts to environmental conditions and differs among species within an evolutionary context - the book features contributions from leaders in the field. The approach is interdisciplinary and the topics covered have applications for ecology, environmental sciences, agronomy, forestry and meteorology. It also addresses applied fields such as climate change, biomass and biofuel production and genetic engineering, making a valuable contribution to our understanding of the impacts of climate change on the primary productivity of the globe and on ecosystem stability.
