The book "Дикие изобретения 40 технологий подаренных нам природой" (Wild Inventions: 40 Technologies Given to Us by Nature) tells us about the incredible technological advancements that have been made possible due to the study and understanding of nature's processes. The author argues that by observing and learning from the natural world, we can develop new technologies that will help us survive in a rapidly changing world. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of biomimicry, which is the practice of studying nature to develop innovative solutions to human problems. The author explains how this approach has led to the development of technologies such as wind turbines inspired by whirlpools, self-cleaning surfaces modeled after lotus leaves, and water-repellent materials based on the structure of butterfly wings. The first chapter explores the evolution of technology and how it has been shaped by our need to adapt to changing environments. The author highlights the importance of understanding the process of technological evolution and how it has influenced human history. They argue that by studying nature, we can gain insights into how to create more sustainable and efficient technologies. In the second chapter, the author delves into the specific examples of technologies inspired by nature, including: 1. Gecko-inspired adhesives that can stick to any surface without damaging it. 2. Spider silk-based materials that are stronger than steel and could revolutionize textile production. 3.
