Chemistry Looking for Good Books on Photosynthesis

Click For Summary
For those interested in learning about photosynthesis from a physics perspective, several resources are recommended. A solid starting point is a plant physiology or molecular biology textbook, which can provide a foundational overview. Specific links shared include a resource from the National Center for Biotechnology Information that discusses photosynthesis in detail, and articles exploring the role of quantum mechanics in the efficiency of photosynthesis. These materials can bridge the gap between physics and biological processes, catering to individuals with a strong background in physics but limited exposure to chemistry.

Hello,
I am interested in learning more about photosynthesis. My background is in physics, mostly condensed matter and atomic physics (graduate level). I have not taken a chemistry course since high school but I am looking for a book that starts from a physics point of view anyway. What are some good books on this topic?

Thank you.

Thread 'What did you do with your old college textbooks?'

Many years ago, as the internet was coming of age, I burned over 500 pounds of technical manuals. I realized I can look things up on the internet faster than I can find something in a technical manual. And just about anything I might need could be found online. But letting go of my several shelves worth of college text and other science books is another matter. I can't bring myself to get rid of them but there is very little if anything I can't find online now. Books are heavy and a pain...
