From the reviews:

…it is pleasing to see that this book dealing with the interaction of light with bipolymers has a timely appearance…Undoubtedly, the book will be useful for those who want to apply optical spectroscopic techniques to investigate the structural and functional properties of biological macromolecular systems.

--The Physicist

„It is pleasing to see that this book dealing with the interaction of light with biopolymers has a timely appearance. … After absorption of photons by a biopolymer a number of phenomena are expected to occur … . Nikolai Vekshin has made a contemplative attempt to address some of these problems. He has presented and analysed … by using appropriate physical models. … Undoubtedly, the book will be useful for those who want to apply optical spectroscopic techniques to investigate the … biological macromolecular systems.“ (Mukunda Das, The Physicist, Vol. 40 (2), 2003)
