Janine M. Benyus je autorkou šiestich kníh o biomimikri, prístupe k inováciám, ktorý vychádza z pozorovania prírody. Jej kľúčové dielo rozvíja tézu, že by sme mali vedome napodobňovať prírodný génius v našich dizajnoch, produktoch a procesoch. Prostredníctvom svojej práce sa zasadzuje o to, aby sa princípy biomimikry stali prirodzenou súčasťou našej kultúry a inšpirovali udržateľné riešenia pre ľudské systémy. Jej prístup prepája vedecké poznatky s potrebou navrhnúť život podporujúcu budúcnosť.

Repackaged with a new afterword, this "valuable and entertaining" ( New York Times Book Review ) book explores how scientists are adapting nature's best ideas to solve tough 21st century problems. Biomimicry is rapidly transforming life on earth. Biomimics study nature's most successful ideas over the past 3.5 million years, and adapt them for human use. The results are revolutionizing how materials are invented and how we compute, heal ourselves, repair the environment, and feed the world. Janine Benyus takes readers into the lab and in the field with maverick thinkers as discover miracle drugs by watching what chimps eat when they're sick; learn how to create by watching spiders weave fibers; harness energy by examining how a leaf converts sunlight into fuel in trillionths of a second; and many more examples. Composed of stories of vision and invention, personalities and pipe dreams, Biomimicry is must reading for anyone interested in the shape of our future.
