商品描述
With spectacular large-format images complemented by scientifically grounded, yet easy-to-read, explanatory texts, Georg Glaeser and Werner Nachtigall take you on an exciting journey through the fascinating world of macrostructures - small structures in nature that fulfill specific functions. This book will pique your curiosity about a secret world known only to a few by presenting an impressive range of evolutionary mechanisms, from shrimps' "tail flips" to the adhesive pads of gecko setae and the implementation of biological structures in the field of bionics.
The book can be read in any fashion you please - the cross-references make it easy to jump across the sections, which are largely self-contained and discuss various highlights of the evolutionary process.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
擁有壯觀的大幅面圖片，並輔以科學根據的、易於閱讀的解釋文本，Georg Glaeser 和 Werner Nachtigall 帶您踏上探索宏觀結構迷人世界的激動旅程——這些是自然界中滿足特定功能的小結構。本書將通過展示從蝦的「尾部翻轉」到壁虎毛的黏附墊，以及生物結構在仿生學領域的應用等令人印象深刻的演化機制，激發您對這個只有少數人知曉的秘密世界的好奇心。
本書可以隨意閱讀——交叉引用使得在各個部分之間輕鬆跳轉成為可能，這些部分大多是自成一體的，並討論演化過程中的各種亮點。
