Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition, thoroughly revised to bring it up to date, describes how one of the most fundamental metabolic processes evolved and transformed the surface chemistry of the Earth. The book focuses on recent biochemical and biophysical advances and the molecular biological techniques that have made them possible. In ten chapters that are self-contained but that build upon information presented earlier, the book starts with a reductionist, biophysical description of the photosynthetic reactions. It then moves through biochemical and molecular biological patterns in aquatic photoautotrophs, physiological and ecological principles, and global biogeochemical cycles. The book considers applications to ecology, and refers to historical developments. It can be used as a primary text in a lecture course, or as a supplemental text in a survey course such as biological oceanography, limnology, or biogeochemistry.

This book covers from the biochemical details of aquatic photosynthesis to the implications of aquatic photosynthetic organisms in global scale. Detailed information is given on every aspect of aquatic photosynthesis. The authors sometimes show the history of the discoveries behind the knowledge, and this is very inspiring for young students on the subject. The possibly only aspect that needs consideration is that the book level is high: a good basis on science in general, and celular biology in particular, seems to be assumed. I recomend this for any serious student of aquatic photosynthesis.
