description: This volume examines progress in the fields of life and earth sciences. It opens with a historical overview and goes on to describe the evolution of PPST authority and the evolution of PPST into a growing arsenal of interwoven diagnostic principles, tools, and techniques. - Historical Perspective- The Photoacoustic Effect in Photosynthesis- Time-Resolved Photothermal Studies with Biological Supramolecular Systems- Applications in Plant Physiology, Entomology and Microbiology; Gas Exchange Measurements Based upon Spectral Selectivity- Applications of Photoacoustic and Photothermal Non-Contact Methods in Selected Areas of Environmental and Agricultural Sciences- Applications of Photothermal Calorimetry in Agriculture, Medicine and Environmental Sciences- Pulsed Laser Resonant Photoacoustics/Applications to Trace Gas Analysis- Detection of Pollutants in Liquids and Gases- Photoacoustic Spectroscopy of Atmospheric Techniques, Results and Applications- Optoacoustics of Oceans- Pulsed Photothermal Radiometry of Inhomogeneous Tissue- Detection of Pollutants in Liquids and Gases- Photoacoustic Spectroscopy of Atmospheric Techniques, Results and Applications- Optoacoustics of Oceans- Pulsed Photothermal Radiometry of Inhomogenous Tissue- Author Biographies and Photographs- Acknowledgments- Index
