Life Lines. Señales de vida

A compilation of forty articles that biologist and scientific writer Adrian Burton has been writing monthly for the prestigious scientific journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, published by the American Ecological Society in the last four years. The articles meet a double condition. On the one hand, they are texts of high scientific dissemination related to biology. On the other hand, they are also narrations that Burton writes from a very personal perspective, full of nostalgia for a childhood that is gone and very critical of what is wrongly called Homo sapiens is doing with our planet. Manuel Peinado Lorca, who combines his literary hobby with scientific research and university teaching, has managed to achieve the difficult balance that forces the translator to search permanently for that common place in which the culture of the writer of the original text and that of the reader the final text must be found.
