Media reviews

...destined to become part of the canon of science books whose farreaching influences help make history. (Journal of Biomedical Optics, May/June 2005) "The author has provided a wonderful resource, and created a must have book for those interested in the field of biophotonics." (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, September 2004) "Prasad has what it take to assemble a survey of the fundamentals and applications in a manner that is undoubtedly of interest to not only 'those involved in health, safety, and environmental disciplines' but also to basic scientists and engineers." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Sept 29, 2004) "...an interesting and very readable book that provides an excellent introduction to the field of biophotonics. I recommend it with enthusiasm." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 7, March 2004)
