Wild Inventions: 40 Technologies Given to Us by Nature
19.99 €
A beautifully illustrated book about the inventions that nature - plants, birds, insects and even mollusks - has suggested to man. Man has always interacted with nature, and for good reason: not only can it be a source of resources and materials, but it can also provide very useful ideas. This book is dedicated to these ideas: it contains more than 40 of the most interesting technologies, inventions and solutions that humans have borrowed from living organisms - and which make our lives more convenient and better. You'll learn how observing the behavior of lobsters, the hopping of cicadas, and the shape of a kingfisher's head have helped people create modern machines and technologies, effective medical instruments, materials with unusual properties, and much more. There are examples to suit every taste - from impact-resistant helmets and mountaineering equipment to ultra-blue Lexus and high-speed trains. Explore nature - perhaps it will inspire you to experiment too. For ages 8 and up.
