Copycat: Nature-Inspired Design Around the World
Christy Hale
This nonfiction book examines inventions and designs that take ideas from nature. A lotus leaf is connected to the umbrella, while cats’ eyes are linked to safety reflectors used on roads. Other examples include space-saving cars, robotic arms, and apartments arranged like honeycombs. Digital artwork and photographs accompany the examples, and the book includes source notes and additional back matter about its nature-inspired designs.
