The collection of papers presented is an excellent choice, covering a broad range of work. The range of approaches, from biochemical and cellular studies to discussion of ecological effects, represents the best of a modern, integrative approach to biology. Plants and UV-B is a fascinating volume, as much for its ability to highlight the gaps in current knowledge as for its broad and integrative approach. By raising so many questions, it should serve as a catalyst for future work. I highly recommend it for plant biologists and graduate students who are interested in biochemistry, physiology, ecology, and environmental sciences.' Thomas J. Herbert, Plant Science Bulletin '... a gold mine of ideas for experimental biologists in search of research topics ... the technical content and organization are excellent. Although the book is directed to plant biologists of all persuasions and the geophysicists who monitor ozone and UV-B will likely find much of interest.' BioScience 'I recommend it to the academic libraries across the world as a welcome addition to their collection.
