by Miguel Vicente (Author), Maria Padilla (Illustrator)
El secreto de la vida Rosalind Franklin fue una de las químicas más influyentes del siglo XX. Experta en el uso de los rayos X, desveló uno de los enigmas mejor guardados de la naturaleza: la estructura del ADN, la molécula que se encarga de que todos, humanos, animales, plantas y resto de organismos, nos parezcamos a nuestros progenitores. A pesar de no haber obtenido apenas reconocimiento, la vida de Rosalind Franklin es un ejemplo de superación y de trabajo, al haber contribuido al descubrimiento del secreto de la vida. Tanto el registro de la narración como el estilo de las imágenes están adecuados a escolares con una franja de edad entre 8 y 11 años. El texto y las ilustraciones se aseguran de tratar temas didácticos transversales a los ámbitos de actividad del personaje, en especial aquellos relativos al mundo de la ciencia y la biología, de cara tanto a la lectura en familia como al uso en centros escolares y al refuerzo al programa educativo. Las páginas finales del libro contienen una biografía resumida del personaje y una cronología que lo enmarca en la evolución de su disciplina, entre otros personajes destacados. GENIOS DE LA CIENCIA Con la colección Infantil, desde Vegueta queremos realizar nuestra particular aportación al proyecto universal más apasionante que existe, el de la educación infantil y juvenil. Como una varita mágica, la educación tiene el poder de iluminar sombras y hacer prevalecer la razón, los principios y la solidaridad, impulsando la prosperidad. Genios de la Ciencia, nuestra serie de biografías de científicos e inventores, pretende aproximar a los niños a aquellos grandes personajes cuyo estudio, disciplina y conocimiento han contribuido al desarrollo y la calidad de vida de nuestra sociedad. Nuestras publicaciones desean apoyar la labor de creadores, pedagogos y maestros, sin cuyo esfuerzo y generosidad sería imposible el milagro de la transmisión del saber que, como el fuego de una antorcha, debe progresar y acrecentarse cada vez que pasa de una generación a la siguiente. Sin la encomiable entrega de estos profesionales y sin la curiosidad innata de nuestros mayores cómplices --todos los niños y niñas a los que ha picado alguna vez el chinche prodigioso de la lectura--, muy poco de lo que hacemos tendría sentido.
The secret of life Rosalind Franklin was one of the most influential chemists of the 20th century. An expert in the use of X-rays, she unveiled one of Nature's best kept enigmas: the structure of DNA, the molecule that ensures that all of us, humans, animals, plants and other organisms, look like our progenitors. Rosalind Franklin's life is an example of improvement and work, having contributed to the discovery of the secret of life. Both the register of the narrative and the style of the images are appropriate for schoolchildren between 8 and 11 years old. The text and the images make sure to deal with pedagogical threads that traverse the characters' scope of activity, both for family readings at home and at school, supporting the educational program. Additionally, throughout the narrative the reader will find all the information necessary to appropriately situate the figure in a socio-historical context.Author Biography
