Description

Paperback cover has some wear and has a very slight bend at bottom front cover. The pages are clean and in good condition. The binding is secure.

This early 20th-century text on photochemistry, written by father-and-son duo William Albert and Philip Albert Leighton Noyes, offers a window into the pioneering days of this scientific field. Published in 1922, it predates many of the groundbreaking discoveries and applications of photochemistry in areas like photosynthesis, vision, and solar energy conversion. As one of the earliest comprehensive works on the subject, it laid important foundations for understanding the interactions between light and matter. Collectors of early scientific literature will appreciate this book’s historical significance, while readers interested in the origins of modern photochemistry will find it a fascinating primary source. Despite its age and mild wear, the book’s sound binding and clean pages make it an eminently readable artifact from an era when photochemistry was just emerging as a distinct discipline.
