What a wonderfully illustrated learning tool!
Learn how smart scientists looked to the natural world to craft substitutes to make our lives better by showing what different fauna have. Stir your own inventiveness by changing perspectives and thinking *outside the lab*! The information is encyclopedic and the organizational aspect is perfect. I plan to get one for the local library and nudge the out-of-town parents to get their own!
Perfect for ages 7-97.
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )
