The ecological consequences of this idea have been catastrophic. We have laid waste to natural ecosystems, replacing them with fundamentally unsustainable human designs. With time running out to address the environmental crises we have caused, our best path forward is to turn to nature for guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Henry Dicks explores the philosophical significance of a revolutionary approach to sustainable innovation: biomimicry. The term describes the application and adaptation of strategies found in nature to the development of artificial products and systems, such as passive cooling techniques modelled on termite mounds or solar cells modelled on leaves. Dicks argues that biomimicry, typically seen as just a design strategy, can also serve as the basis for a new environmental philosophy that radically alters how we understand and relate to the natural world. By showing how we can imitate, emulate, and learn from nature, biomimicry points us toward a genuinely sustainable way of inhabiting the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRooted in philosophy, \u003cem\u003eThe Biomimicry Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e has profound implications spanning the natural sciences, design, architecture, sustainability studies, science and technology studies, and the environmental humanities. It presents a sweeping reconception of what philosophy can be and offers a powerful new vision of terrestrial existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854908477676,"sku":"9780231208802","price":266.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/941afc8b1a0e2ace1a144285e3032575.jpg?v=1759263347"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/henry-dicks.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
