Summary
Details

Animals possess many remarkable and unique characteristics and abilities. Their agility and capabilities both educate and inspire us.

This fascination has given rise to a whole field of study known as biomimetics.

Inside Marvels of Mammals, you will discover how humans have been inspired to mimic the animal kingdom in the fields of robotics, aviation, nanotechnology, engineering, medicine, and more.

This book gives you a glimpse into the exciting world of biomimetics and its multitude of uses in modern technology, both now and into the future.

You will discover:

● How a dog's incredible sense of smell has inspired medical researchers to develop devices that can analyze your breath and detect diseases, such as diabetes and even cancer.

● How the Arctic Ground Squirrel's unique abilities help them survive incredibly harsh winters, while inspiring cutting-edge medical breakthroughs in treating Alzheimer's disease.

● How the deep diving abilities of the Cuvier's Beaked Whales help doctors improve treatments for collapsed lungs.

● How pangolins are helping scientists understand the animal-to-human transfer of coronaviruses to prevent the next pandemic.

● How the echolocation abilities of bats and precision sonar of dolphins are inspiring new innovations in sonar devices, in order to treat brain disorders like Parkinson's disease.

And so much more!

Now is the time to learn about these incredibly natural phenomena and help take your appreciation for the animals we share this earth with to the next level.
