"This is a bible of current research into the photochemistry, photobiology, and evolution of the visual systems and the pineal gland in vertebrates and invertebrates. ... The book will benefit graduate students, seasoned investigators, and vision scientists interested in photoreceptors." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, January, 2017)
