«Fotosíntesis» is Isaac Asimov's popular science essay, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (241 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from two key questions —why the atmosphere's oxygen is replenished and how sunlight is transformed into usable energy—, Asimov explains photosynthesis: plants make their own food and release oxygen. The book combines biology, chemistry and physics to show a process essential for life on Earth.
Translation from English by J. Ferrer Aleu. 1980 edition, with illustrations and indexes. The original title is «Photosynthesis».
A work suitable for readers interested in popular science who want to understand photosynthesis without prior technical training.
