Publisher's Summary

This "valuable and entertaining" (New York Times Book Review) book explores how scientists are adapting nature's best ideas to solve tough 21st-century problems.

Biomimicry is rapidly transforming life on earth. Biomimics study nature's 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.

Janine Benyus takes listeners into the lab and in the field with maverick thinkers as they: discover miracle drugs by watching what chimps eat when they're 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.

Composed of stories of vision and invention, personalities and pipe dreams, Biomimicry is a must-listen for anyone interested in the shape of our future.

Thoughtfully Structured!!!

Short Review:Good quality information on why nature is the oldest and wisest scientist.This book is a must read for all college students if we want to solve modern problems.

Long review: A very good source of information about how all professions of the world can take inspiration from nature's wisdom.However there is a lot of field specific knowledge in between whic h is very hard to grasp quickly when going through the audio version. However this does NOT mean that the audio version should be avoided. Knowledge in any form is useful.

Feedback to sound engineers at audible:
I have observed a that when I was going through the book on a bluetooth speaker the were quite a few times when I could not understand the start of sentences however I did not face the issue when I used earphones.However I feel that audible needs to do some more processing on the audio of this book even if I was the only one who faced the issue when the bluetooth speaker was used.
