A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'With this revised edition, Kirk has consolidated the status of his book as a standard reference for research workers as well as for university students.' Trevor Platt, Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology

' ... an admirably clear account ... which is required reading for all those working on aquatic photosynthesis and productivity.' New Phytologist

Praise for the first edition: '... excellent ... Definitely the mastery of the plan, the extreme clarity of the writing, the exhaustiveness of the information, together with constant attention to the reader (so many authors seem to write for themselves) make this book surprising. Another characteristic lies in its being authentically interdisciplinary: it is both physical and biological; it deals with plankton as well as benthos; microphytes as well as macrophytes; freshwaters as well as oceans.' Limnology and Oceanography

Praise for the first edition: 'The book is well produced, well indexed, pleasant to handle and read.' Journal of Applied Ecology

Biographie de l'auteur

John Kirk began his research into ocean optics in the early 1970s in the Division of Plant Industry of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Canberra, Australia, where he was a Chief Research Scientist, and continued it from 1997 in Kirk Marine Optics. He was awarded the Australian Society for Limnology Medal (1981), and besides the two successful previous editions of this book, has also co-authored The Plastids: Their Chemistry, Structure, Growth and Inheritance (Elsevier, 1978), which became the standard text in its field. Beyond his own scientific research interests, he has always been interested in the broader implications of science for human existence, and has published a book on this and other issues, Science and Certainty (CSIRO Publishing, 2007).
