Summary

"Animimics are the designers and engineers who are inspired by the genius of nature. Using a science called biomimicry, they rely on nature's 3.8 billion years of experience to research and create new or improved designs, materials and systems. From bombardier beetle spray to cicada wings and shark skin, nature has inspired biomimics to come up with all kinds of new technology for the medical field." -- Provided by publisher
