Excitation Energy and Electron Transfer in Photosynthesis: Dedicated to Warren L. Butler (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789401080767)

The present volume "Excitation Energy and Electron Transfer in Pho- tosynthesis" is dedicated to a colleague and dear friend Warren L. But- ler. I first met Warren when he visited the University of Illinois at Ur- bana during the early sixties; he left an indelible impression on me as a person with warmth and enthusiasm. Initially, he was someone I looked to for guidance, but later we also became friends. Whenever I passed through Los Angeles, I always telephoned Warren and often end- ed up taking a plane to San Diego to stay with two wonderful people, Warren and his wife Lila. His invitations could never be refused. Below I reproduce the words of Herbert Stern on Warren L. Butler's life; these words express my sentiments as well as those of many of Warren's friends: ''A lifetime of acedemic creativity criss-crossed by streaks of highbrow and lowbrow fun. There is no summary to this adventure be- cause we can neither make nor proclaim an end. Warren has bequeathed us his garden of academic treasures. It is ours to keep and tend. There is lots of joy in our many recollections of Warren's life and sorrow's foil can only brighten the brightness that the joy radiates.
