Nature's Operating Instructions: The True Biotechnologies (The Bioneers Series)

Nature's Operating Instructions: The True Biotechnologies (The Bioneers Series)

Kenny Ausubel
0/5 ( ratings)
For this second volume in Sierra Club Books' Bioneers Series, Bioneers founder Kenny Ausubel has gathered reports from scientific innovators on such diverse topics as biomimicry ; "living technologies" that break down toxics biologically; and ecologically sound design for industries and buildings. These are set alongside essays by visionaries such as Paul Hawken, Terry Tempest Williams, and Michael Pollan that underscore the urgent need for working in harmony with nature's intelligent design. Unlike the corporatized genetics that claims the name "biotechnology," the true biotechnologies surveyed here illuminate a future of hope by "wedding human ingenuity with the wisdom of the wild," in the words of contributor John Todd. Sector by sector - from energy and agriculture to transportation and land management - this book shows how we humans can emulate and adapt nature's operating instructions to the benefit of all life on Earth.
