Chemistry Looking for Good Books on Photosynthesis

AI Thread 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 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
