Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Human designers love right angles, but nature prefers to be round and curved; we like to be dry, whereas nature tends to be wet; we use wheels in diverse ways, but nature's only true wheels occur in bacteria. In CATS' PAWS AND CATAPULTS Steven Vogelintroduces us to the world of biomechanics, and lucidly explains how physical law and historical accident became our world's most supreme architects.
