Description

Book Synopsis
Describes how living things bump up against non-biological reality. Asking us wonder about the design of plants and animals around us, this book includes examples from every major group of animals and plants, with illustrative problems, and with suggestions of experiments that need only common household materials.

Trade Review
"A brilliant and eccentric book that looks at living things from an engineering point of view, assuming astonishingly little previous knowledge of science on the reader's part."--Nature
