Description

Discover how nature's secrets are being used to create amazing new technology. Biomimicry is the practice of copying nature's good ideas to solve real-world problems. This book introduces you to ten real-life scientists, engineers, and designers who have imitated plants and animals to create innovative inventions. From an engineer who shaped a train's nose like a kingfisher's beak, to a scientist who modeled her solar cell on the mighty leaf, these inventors show how nature's designs can inspire new ideas. With images that invite careful observation and explanations that are clear and concise, this book reveals the marvels of engineering inspired by nature. By exploring the work of these biomimicry innovators, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the science behind their creations and be inspired to think creatively about how we can use nature's ideas to solve our own problems.
