Description:
Biomimetics - imitating life's natural processes - is one of the hottest areas of design research and inspiration. The natural world contains infinite examples of how to achieve complex behaviours and applications by using simple materials in a clever way, as all organisms make use of limited raw materials to survive. In the popular imagination, the best-known example is the microscopic 'hook' on burrs that led to the development of Velcro, but there are many more applications, from kingfisher beaks inspiring the shape of bullet trains to shark skin being used as a model for advanced swimsuits.
This book presents many examples, showing each natural phenomenon alongside its application, with an accessible explanation of the biology and the story of the design. While most are concrete examples that have already been developed, others point the way to what might be possible for an enterprising designer, providing a starting point for creativity. This timely overview is the perfect introduction for designers of all disciplines, and a reminder that inspiration may be just down the garden path.

Nice shirt, but sizing isn’t ideal for big and tall builds
Size: XX-Large Tall, Color: Black
The shirt itself is decent quality and looks good, but the fit wasn’t great for me. If you’re a big and tall guy, this may not be the best option.
The material has some stretch and feels comfortable, but the overall cut runs smaller and doesn’t offer much room in the shoulders or torso. It works better for slimmer or more standard builds.
If the sizing works for you, it’s a nice-looking shirt. Just be aware that it’s not very forgiving in the fit if you need extra room.

Clean & classy look, but make sure you buy a size bigger because it runs small.
Color: A-black, Size: 4X-Large
As for sizing, make sure you buy a size up because it runs kinda small, (you’ll thank me!). Quality is good, but the best feature-it has a dress collar polo with some color around the neck and buttons, which gives it a clean and classy look, (which I’m a fan of), the comfort of the polo is about average. I absolutely recommend!

Nice shirt
Color: A-royal Blue, Size: X-Large
This is a decent shirt. It feels nice against the skin and fits like it should. It feels a little cheap, but that could be because it’s thin. Kept me comfortable in Florida heat and humidity!
