Abstract
ALTHOUGH a number of treatises suitable for specialists have recently appeared, there has hitherto been no English text-book on photochemistry and allied subjects which meets the needs of first- and second-year students. Lecturers and students will be grateful to Mr. Bowen for writing a book of which the need has been apparent for so long. In presenting a complete outline of the present state of our knowledge of the interaction of light and matter, the book will also be valuable to the non-specialist and the advanced student, whose sense of perspective is liable to be obscured by detailed study of parts of the subject.
