Benyus, founder of Bioinformatics Institute is the inspiration behind this book. In this book he explained a lot of natural process, secrets and ideas from animals and plants for the designing various applications ranging from Velcro-Zip fastener to highly sophisticated robots. He has also introduced some research areas in biomimicry and biomimicry in molecular level. The chapter on “some case studies in biomimcry” and “biomimicry access points” is one more feather to this book. For the researcher the “further reading” section and “index” to the text is most valuable one.lihat lebih sedikit
