About this book
Henry Dicks explores the philosophical significance of biomimicry, the application and adaptation of strategies found in nature to the development of artificial products and systems. He argues that biomimicry can serve as the basis for a new environmental philosophy that radically alters how we understand and relate to the natural world.

Reviews
Adrian Parr, author of Earthlings: Imaginative Encounters with the Natural World:
This is an exciting and intellectually invigorating study into the epistemological and ethical principles that underpin a philosophy of biomimicry. Building upon the three principles central to biomimicry—nature as model, nature as measure, nature as mentor—Dicks creates a new philosophical framework structured by technics, ethics, and epistemology. What follows is a lively and groundbreaking ontological inquiry into 'the nature of nature.'
