About This Item
MIT., 2005. Softcover. Very Good. Organisms & Artifacts: Design in Nature & Elsewhere by Tim Lewens (ISBN: 9780262621991): "Organisms & Artifacts: Design in Nature & Elsewhere" explores the fascinating connections between design in the natural world and human-made artifacts. Author Tim Lewens delves into the ways in which design principles are evident both in biological organisms and in the products of human ingenuity. By drawing parallels between the evolution of life forms and the development of technology, Lewens challenges traditional distinctions between the natural and the artificial. This book invites readers to contemplate the shared principles that underlie the design and adaptation of both natural entities and human creations. Lewens' exploration provides a fresh perspective on the relationship between nature and technology, highlighting the common threads that run through the world of organisms and artifacts. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear. May have remainder marks, often with a black dot or similar mark, to the top or bottom edge of the book.
