«Panorama de la biología contemporánea» is a biology essay by A. L. Lehninger and others, published by Alianza Universidad in paperback (401 pages).
A tour of different branches of modern biology through texts by specialists: from bioenergetics and cell membranes to genetic control, photosynthesis, and animal physiology. It includes examples such as the heartbeat, fish respiration, the courtship of the vinegar fly, and marine fish farming, with comments that contextualize each selection.
Published in 1975 in the Alianza Universidad collection (number 128); the selection and comments are by Roland Hoste and the Spanish version, by Carlos Castrodeza.
Intended for biology students and professionals seeking a general overview of the discipline.
Albert Lester Lehninger was an American chemist in the field of bioenergetics. He made fundamental contributions to the current understanding of metabolism at a molecular level. In 1948, he discovered, with Eugene P. Kennedy, that mitochondria are the site of oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryotes, which ushered in the modern study of energy transduction. He is the author of a number of classic texts, including Biochemistry, The Mitochondrion, Bioenergetics and, most notably, his series Principles of Biochemistry. This last is a widely used text for introductory biochemistry courses at the college and university levels.
