BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Nine inventions and their developers are introduced with special attention to how the ideas were born or made better because of what these ten people saw in nature and then mimicked in their scientific work.
This is an intriguing book, with carefully written overviews of a variety of inventions, all of which were inspired by copying something observed in nature. The explanations are easy to understand, the illustrations are colorful and eye-catching, and the invitation to become a mimic-maker oneself is strong.
