Biomimics study natures most successful ideas over the past 3.5 million years, and adapt them for human use. The results are revolutionizing how materials are invented and how we compute, heal ourselves, repair the environment, and feed the world.\nJanine Benyus takes readers into the lab and in the field with maverick thinkers as they: discover miracle drugs by watching what chimps eat when theyre sick; learn how to create by watching spiders weave fibers; harness energy by examining how a leaf converts sunlight into fuel in trillionths of a second; and many more examples.\nComposed of stories of vision and invention, personalities and pipe dreams, Biomimicry is must reading for anyone interested in the shape of our future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mariner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44953095766069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0688136915","price":25.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780688136918_76bfe013-b242-4947-bdad-21f1ba1b3e2b.jpg?v=1778682442","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/biomimicry-innovation-inspired-by-nature-9780688136918","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
