Wild Design

As our original architect, nature has been building extraordinary structures and producing resources for billions of years. In "Wild Design," stunning and functional forms created by animals, plants, and the mineral world are praised, while structures as spectacular as bowerbirds' courtship and mating grounds, and as mysterious as the underground fungal networks shaping the grand design of forests, are explored. This treasure trove of small-scale curiosities, blending science and art through lively essays and vibrant antique visuals, will rekindle your sense of wonder and help transform your perceptions of the world just beyond your window.
