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 'Complex analysis or calculus?'

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
