"The author synthesizes results of studies on red cells, frog skin, excitable tissues, and others into a coherent picture of the evolution of transport physiology and bioenergetics that would benefit many who are embarking on or who are in the early stages of a career relating to membrane transport. The pace is measured enough to cover the main points, yet brisk enough that the reader does not lose interest." - Doody's Journal.
This book describes half a century of progress in two mainstream areas of biological research: membrane transport, initially a focus of physiologists, and oxidative phosphorylation, initially a focus of biochemists. Robinson shows how the development of new explanatory models unexpectedly merged these inquiries into a new field, bioenergetics.
