In 1963, the first volume of Advances in Photochemistry appeared. It was founded by W. Albert Noyes, Jr., along with George Hairanond and James N. Pitts, Jr. Therefore, it is fitting that we dedicate the rebirth of this series, which was discontinued temporarily after Volume 12 appeared in 1980, to his memory. Many of the review articles that have appeared in earlier issues of Advances in Photochemistry were written by his former graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. These include R. Srinivasan, Derrick Hoare, Hideo Okabe, Jacques LeMaire, Israel Unger, Julian Heicklen, David Phillips, and Gerald Porter.
