Description
In their shapes, structures, and interaction with their environment, plants are incredibly inventive and have a lot to teach designers and engineers. From towering cottonwood trees with wind power potential and the world’s largest flower that generates its own heat, to meat-eating assassins of the plant world and the fast-growing aquatic plant which helps propel ships more efficiently, discover how biological research is leading to innovation in technology. Colourful and lively illustrations and pop-out fact boxes bring the science in this book to life.
