SUMMARY

"[Peter] Forbes invites us into labs that practise "bio-inspiration": the attempt to develop new technologies explicitly modeled on natural phenomena....Forbes is consciously trying to blur the distinction between a proper awe for the intricacy and beauty of Nature's nanostructures and an appreciation of the ingenuity of human engineers who try to emulate them, and he usefully demolishes the case for any remaining paranoias about self-replicating nanobots."Forbes, Peter is the author of 'Gecko's Foot Bio-inspiration Engineering New Materials from Nature' with ISBN 9780393062236 and ISBN 0393062236.
