About the Book

The flight of a helicopter recalls that of a dragonfly, and its blades might make you think of the wings on linden or maple seeds. Are these parallels a coincidence, or do people typically invent with nature in mind? In fact, people copy nature whenever they can. This illustrated album pairs drawings of technological inventions with the element of nature that inspired them, along with an explanatory text for each one.

El vuelo de un helicóptero puede recordar el vuelo de una libélula, y sus aspas hacen pensar en las alas de las semillas de tilos y arces. ¿Son casuales, estas semejanzas, o es que las personas normalmente inventan fijándose en la naturaleza? La respuesta es que siempre que pueden copian a la naturaleza. La biónica o biomimética estudia la estructura y el funcionamiento de los seres vivos con el objetivo final de crear materiales y mecanismos artificiales que se inspiren en ellos o, sencillamente, que los copien. Los primeros casos de biónica los encontramos en los parasoles y los paraguas, y en los remos y los timones. Se inventaron hace siglos, a través de la observación de seres vivos muy diversos. Desde entonces el interés para aprender e imitar a la naturaleza no se ha detenido, y hoy en día tenemos inventos muy recientes que también aparecen en este libro... como los últimos robots. Se trata de un álbum ilustrado en que cada doble lámina incluye los dibujos del invento tecnológico pertinente y del elemento de la naturaleza en el cual se inspira, con una técnica que aporta un gran realismo, acompañados en todo momento de texto explicativo.
