Nature's Teachings

Nature's Teachings: Human Invention Anticipated By Nature is a book written by John George Wood and published in 1907. The book explores the idea that many human inventions and technologies were actually anticipated by nature, and that humans have often looked to nature for inspiration and guidance in their inventions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including architecture, transportation, communication, and medicine, and examines how these fields have been influenced by nature. Wood draws on examples from around the world, including the intricate designs of spider webs, the aerodynamic properties of bird wings, and the chemical properties of plants, to show how nature has provided inspiration for human innovation. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both academic and general readers interested in the intersection of science and nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
