Beskrivning

This volume provides an overview of the topics discussed at the Sixth International Arnold Rikli Symposium on the Biological Effects of Light held in Boston, Massachusetts in the summer of 2001. In the tradition of the Symposium, the general topics include a broad range of perspectives regarding the biologic effects of sunlight and artificial ultraviolet radiation. In addition, the volume provides a great grandson's perspective about the life and contributions of Arnold Rikli, for whom the Symposium is named.
