5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Frontier Science Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gecko's Foot (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent choice to explain a frontier area of Technology. In the realm of the miniature, specifically the nano realm, the realm between one millionth and one billionth of a meter, nature packs in a world of surprises that affect us in the real world. The author points out that as science and technology progess into this nano realm we often duplicate what nature has already invented "bioinspiration". The author brings out some very interesting examples of nature and man made parallels such as, self cleaning glass that imitates the lotus flower petal's method of remaining spotless, and photonic crystals compared to illuminated deep sea creatures. It shows that the author did some research for this book. He has an entertaining writing style and each chapter moves right along. The book does not get bogged down in mathematical science.
